    A thread about the Rogue Trader Heroes.
    So, we have the Cybork (Totally gonna buy that) and the Skarboy Kommando, but what do you think will be added next? (If anything is to be added of course) I personally think if they add more, it will be a Rokkit pack Skarboy or just more advanced. I see it as they added Cybork, melee. Kommando, Ranged and then more?
    And another thing. What do you guys think they mean by this. (They put this at the bottom of the description of each Hero) "This is an elite character for the Ork faction that can be manifested periodically on the battlefield."

    About the last part:
    Cybork Madboy is an elite class, Skarboy Kommando is a hero class.
    Elite classes will cost RP to spawn and might have a cooldown (not entirely sure about the cooldown part),
    while hero classes will cost RP to spawn and have a long cooldown.

    As for new elites/heroes, I'm hoping for a Big Mek or Weirdboy to show up either in the store or in-game for free.

    No Rokkit scarboys, we have stormboys as regular classes. Maybe they will be Mek, Meganob(elite) and weirdboy.
  4. I just hope that there are some additions of 'ork ingenuity' with jerry rigged dreadnaughts, trucks, etc. I think it would be awesome/hilarious to see an ork craft barely flying through the sky, pumping out a bunch of smoke, and randomly dropping altitude... even if it is just something flying by that you cant really interact with that would be cool.

    SverBerntyre, I heard something like this in another thread! It would be really cool and fun, but kinda of a huge disadvantage. I saw something wrote something about it could be nice, if when you entered a Ork vehicle the steering controls would be reverse or completly changed randomly (For an example If you push W it will go left)

    Immariel, Hmmm. That's kinda bad in my opinion. I was hoping for when they said something like "The things you buy in the Rogue Trader will not be better, but is unique and will alter your appearance" ( Believe it was Miguel who said that in a Livestream)
    Hopefully, imo they'll change this.
  6. It would be really cool. I would create an ork character just for that (i dont plan to as of now. one of the others and two SMs). i dont think it would be a huge disadvantage, cause even if you 'rotated' all those controls each time a vehicle spawns more than likely you will be in a semi-isolated area and have a few seconds to figure it out. i think it would be really interesting to see the people that not just get it figured out but still kill everything around them like it all works great.
    Imagine that as just a little beta tutorial or whatever. 'can you drive an ork tanker?' 'what the heck is foreward... crap i just shot a round at those boyz over there... SORRY'

    There will still be both hero and elite classes available in-game, and IIRC the store classes will have less loadout customization options, thus making them less versatile.
  8. Meganobz have been shown since the very first Ork artwork for EC, so I guess they'll be in... and there's no way they're not at least Elite.

    No randized controls for ork tanks. You will never see the light of day from under all the complaint threads and plus that just annoying and the time to generate that RNG could be used else where. Just saying though jerry rigged dreadnought deff dreads seem amazing I saw a model of that once it was epic.
