Tabletop AARs / Re: Black Flag Again

So...trying the Black Flag Fleet against slightly less powerful French Ships

  Things aren't quite so bad.  The minutes into the battle and Black Flag Ship 2 (the lead ship) has an engine hit and is going 9 knots instead of 14, but is still in the fight:

If they had planned this after the Hobbit Trilogy, I'd have more confidence.

Right now, I have zero confidence this will be any good, aside from maybe production quality. But this seems like a desperation move by Warner Bros to recover from the general disaster of the Rings of Power: "everyone still likes PJ and everyone still likes Andy especially as Gollum, so maybe this will make some profit back...? We hope?"

^I don't have the early version of this...are they still using Xsolla (sp)? I do remember the similar back and forth with UA:D but in the end it worked out.

Yes still on Xsolla.  Guess we will see, on Discord seemed to have been clear it wouldn't be possible and I am still alright with that, doesn't matter to me where I play the game from, all the same thing to me:)

The "Space Lobsters of Doom" meme is much older than CMSF. It was around during CMBO times.

^That may change. Although it was years ago by this point, I did get a free Steam key for Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnaughts.

Yeah, I think they already declared not possible, something to do with their platform.  Pretty sure I recall them even saying it before buying into the current early access.  Not a big deal, I went into this knowing that was not going to happen and the game plays the same whether on Steam or their platform.

I'm really enjoying the campaign so far. It has that Homeworld immersive feel and they have nailed the aesthetic and sounds of the original titles. Story is good and the combat is fun.

No regerts here yet.

I bought it yesterday as well, probably against my better judgement.  Not because it is a good or bad game, just because I don't understand it well and a lot going on.  Didn't get a ton of time with it yet, certainly going to have to start with the basics to figure it out.

Don't forget it has active pause! If things get to hectic, stop the action and plan with all the time you need.

Did the tutorial this morning so a more makes sense.
