Havock 4 Report post Posted March 21, 2017 Can someone tell me what the Veydreth schtick is? It probably has more to do with my newbie-ness but their statblocks look... Weird. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havock 4 Report post Posted March 21, 2017 No sky-high defensive stats, no shields, no cloaking fields everywhere? How do they stay alive? :v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bessemer 340 Report post Posted March 21, 2017 Ambush. Veydreth are masters of the "Null Deployment" strategy. In many cases the battleship is the only ship on the board, when everything else either shunts or jumps up from an Ambush marker, giving your opponent very little idea what is turning up where. Yes this can go wrong, and as you say, no extra defensive measures, but wrong footing your opponent can really pay off. Granted I am not the best one to be speaking on Veydreth, but this is the jist on using them. 1 Havock reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alextroy 581 Report post Posted March 21, 2017 The Veydreth are brawlers. They have good short to medium firepower (mix of Beams and Primaries) including a Fore arc rather than a Fixed Fore and Mines (sometimes Double Mines) on many classes. Tricks include Ambush and a good Assault options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N2OJoe 68 Report post Posted April 17, 2017 The good: Open arcs, great boarding ability, lots of mines, above avg speed - Well suited to hyper aggression. Fly right into enemy formations and board, mine, shoot, brawl like demons (or perhaps dragons). The bad: Mediocre defensive stats, sometimes with more Hull Points to compensate - This usually leads to a high HP ship losing lots of dice to damage degradation. Cautious, defensive play will probably get you picked apart before your ships can do anything useful. The ugly: No SRS whatsoever - Very vulnerable to enemy torpedoes and SRS, this compounds with the soft defensive stats. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain_Dan 447 Report post Posted June 12, 2017 I have found some symbols that can be useful for Veydreth, such as naming ships, identifying squadrons etc... (you can paint them on the ship, on the base or if you have means to print them as decals...you know! "Veydreth" runes ;-) 1 N2OJoe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
