They are very, very much close-range focused, and at this range with the proper choice of upgrades and customizations their ships can quite soundly out-damage and out-board the ships of every other faction when matched class-for-class. The Orks tend to have a lot of close range weapons ''utterly ridiculous'' frontal armour, powerful boosts from all the looted drives and thrusters as well as being very effective in deck fighting on enemy ships to go with all their boarding enthusiasm… So its probably a good thing that they never hit anything at most ranges. They also make ''extensive'' use of boarding craft and torpedoes (often filled with more Orks, essentially making them another variation of assault craft) and their standard Boarding action for every ship, by default, gets an extra assault action compared to the other factions.ĭespite this all being very simple (and, in fact, rather silly under most circumstances) this all tends to work with brutal efficiency. The Ork 'Tactics', if they can even be called that, generally just involve getting as close as possible (ramming if possible) to a target and shooting as much as possible (as often as possible) at whatever they see (regardless of whether or not they actually have any chance of hitting or killing it…). While Orks may refer to certain sets of ships as a 'class', they are normally just making umbrella generalisations based on size (fairly typical Ork behaviour). This means that no two Ork ships are ever exactly the same. Orks tend to use fleets of ships which are not regulated or maintained to anywhere near the standard of other factions (most of the time, we'll ignore the Tyranids and Rak'Gol as they aren't in the game yet).Īs such their ships aren't determined by specific classes in many cases, almost all of their ships being Frankenstein creations of the wrecks of many destroyed ships (and even asteroids) with random (and often obsessive amounts) of guns and propulsion systems strapped onto them. And don't forget: the red ones go faster! 'More Dakka' would be their motto, and charging forward, all cannons blazing and ramming the enemy ships is probably one of the most 'complex' tactic that would come to the mind of an Ork captain. What their ships clearly lack in reliability is made up for with sheer firepower and particularly strong prow armor. While most of their contraptions should not even work, let alone allow interstellar travel, the sheer will of the Orks, and their shared belief that it will work, actually make them work.
Their ships are usually built from scrap, hulks of other ships, and in some rare cases even from asteroids. Orks are not your typical space-faring species.
