>>5430419> If they're not going to talk, then it's just [Bombardment] but slower, albeit with less danger to their Infinity Circuit.No there's another extremely significant factor: Our Fleet's condition.
The tactical decision of having our primary fleet chase the Eldar into their horrid little faery realm transcended retardation. The anons, drunk on all of their recent victories, critically underestimated the Eldar and stumbled face first into an obvious trap. Consequentially our fleet was maimed badly, human lives were lost, and overall we only barely manage to eke out a pyrrhic victory.
And now you guys are advocating for indulging in the exact same sort of hubris: underestimating the Eldar's capabilities while grossly overestimating the strength of our own position.
You want to hang here - In this shifting, semi-empyreal, labyrinthine plane - With all of our sensors glitching out to the point of near non-functionality - Shadowing a fleeing craftworld while periodically chipping away at its hull integrity - until either the Eldar surrender (never happening) or the ship falls apart (Dozens of hours at minimum).
>Feels like the correct choice would be {destroy the vessel's weapons, then land troops to occupy the craftworld} but there is no option for that given to us.Do you guys not grasp how truly fuck-off massive this Craftworld is? Blasting it apart piece by piece, with an hour pause between each attack, will take an exceedingly long time. Here's an excerpt straight from OP:
> The Craftworld itself soon comes into view. It looks like a cancerous onyx whale, bulging with glass tumours, and parasitised by great ebony trees, sprouting flaming leaves, all the colours of a dying campfire. Branches twist and reach around the organic form of the craftworld, making it look almost overgrown, but there’s no doubt that this thing is entirely artificial. The trees, as big as a small moon, are simply decorative. > ... parasitised by great ebony trees ...> The trees, as big as a small moon, are simply decorative. > ... as big as a small moon ...I'm not even going to remark on the absolute lunacy that is trying to subjugate a prepared Craftworld with ground forces. If the parallels between our invasion of the Webway and the proposed invasion of the Craftworld itself aren't painfully self-evident then I just don't know what to say.
