If we use our example again and assume that the Basha is now lvl2 and has the “More Tellyportas” upgrade (+1 to assault actions of Lightning Strikes) the combined chances of a successful Lightning Strike against the Dauntless would be as follows: The combined chance to succeed cannot be seen in game, you will have to calculate it for yourself. Both would have the same chance to succeed (as shown in “Chances of critical damage”), but the outcome would be calculated individually. A Lightning Strike with improved assault actions would teleport two teams instead of one. This is called “assault actions” and can be seen as the number of teams the attacker sends onto the enemy ship. The imperial captain instead will read “Chances of critical damage: 30%” when trying the same.įor the attacker there is another way to improve the effectiveness of his boarding operations: the number of attacks. Now back to the example with the lvl1 Dauntless vs lvl1 Basha: If the ork kaptin tries a Lightning Strike against his opponent he will notice “Chances of critical damage: 40%”. This means 60/70/50% chance to fail the boarding and 40/30/50% chance for the attacker to succeed. The basic TV in the game is 60 for human (Imperium or Chaos) ships, 70 for the orks and 50 for the eldar. Only the defending ship can influence the chance to fail the boarding (and so the chance to succeed for the attacker) by raising its TV. The TV of the attacking ship has NOTHING to do with the boarding operation. The chance to fail is equal to the so called “Troop Value” (TV) of the defender which can be taken from the ship’s stats. This information is just a tool of convenience for the attacker, because only its opposite, the chance to fail the boarding, can be influenced (and is used by the game). The chance of success is misleadingly labelled “Chances of critical damage”. Whether a boarding operation is successful or not is random. Since escort-class vessels and transports have no subsystems, there will always be a fire or a hull breach when they are boarded successfully. Fires can stack with each other and deal tremendous amounts of damage if the victim is not able to use emergency repairs. Fire: 2 points of damage per second for 45 seconds.(More detailed explaination: If a subsystem is prioritised, the random test that determines the target is repeated once, should the first test not give the desired result. It is random which subsystem is affected, but you can raise the chance by prioritising one of them. Subsystem destroyed: Deck, generator, engines or one weapon is destroyed.If it is a success, it will have the same effect as a critical hit by a weapon (without the weapons damage) and initiate the cooldown of the boarding skills. If it is a failure, you will get a message and the boarding skills will be on cooldown (90 seconds, in most cases), but there will be no other penalties. What can happen now?Ī boarding operation can only be a success or a failure, there is nothing in between. The armsmen are teleported to the orkish heap of space junk and try to do their work. Now we assume that the Dauntless has already broken through the shields of the enemy and the imperial captain orders a Lightning Strike. Both should be Level 1, so they have neither crew nor ship upgrades. Let’s have a look at a simple battle situation: An imperial light cruiser, Dauntless class, against an ork light cruiser, Basha class. This is called a “Lightning Strike” and every line ship (not the small escort-class ships) is equipped for it. There are several ways to do so, for example by teleportation.
