Battle Pirates: COVENANT BUILD | Covenant Guide #3

This video goes over the build for the Covenant - and gets pretty detailed. I discuss the countermeasure ship (and what you need to do to only have one CM ship) and the 3x damage ships I am building. I also show some of the backup specials new or returning players will want to use, plus some options if you really want to split your fleet into multiple CM ships. By the way, I'm using Combustion System II, which isn't the first thing most people think of on a missile ship.

Excellent breakdown as always, thanks. Can't wait to see your take on the Baron

[@karlharris138]

Thanks Derpy big help bud👍

[@Tim58167]

Thank, Derpy.

[@majpgrabijn]

Nice video again Derpy, thank you alot. Was nice to hear why you picked the specials and other (some liked more logical, higher tier) not.

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@sicnarfroknod3902]

thank you for the break it helps alot

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Happy to help!

[@Tim58167]

Thanks , Derpy.

[@DerpyTheCow47]

You betcha!

[@2N2R5]

Thanks Pal

[@DerpyTheCow47]

No problem

[@BPNDiscordServer]

I prefer splitting the Gales and the MDS. I had them also combined but with splitting them you can tailor a special for the MDS etc ;)

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Yep - chaff splitter system

[@BPNDiscordServer]

correct :)

[@user-gp4mb5tn2w]

When scrapping older fleets, do the components get put back in storage or do you have to refit them first to remove the parts before scrapping? I always seem to be short on some older specials that may be on older fleets.

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Yes - or you can refit them off for 1 second refit time

[@dyeates8632]

Thank you sir! Where in the fleet would you place the CM ship?

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Doesn’t matter, just one of the normal ships

[@poejo12]

Can't use Combustion System 2 (for the 74% splash bonus) in combination with Obsession Missile System; it only works if using Liquid Fire Warheads in place of Obsession. However, the old Research Item, High Explosive Shells 3 works, giving a 62% splash bonus. Is this a good plan?

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Yep, sounds like a good plan

[@eduardosouza9963]

Hey Derpy, do you have a build for covenant flag? should it be like the damage regular ships?

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Same as normal damage ships

[@eduardosouza9963]

@@DerpyTheCow47 have u seen new special released in this raid? should we equip it on covs? if so, replacing which one?

[@user-oz2fp8jq1w]

Derpy you do this full time?

[@DerpyTheCow47]

nope - not even close lol

[@jc9301]

Kix is not allowing me to put Explosive 4, but will let me put explosive 3...advise?...my build for the Defensive tank is identical to what you propose, Also CS2 will not allow the hull to be fitted

[@paulabrowning9798]

I'm in the same boat

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Strange, what's the conflict? I built mine yesterday and it works fine

[@jc9301]

@@DerpyTheCow47 Thanks for the reply Derpy...As mentioned, when it comes time to add Explosive Sys 4, it will not allow me to add IV...But I can add 3...I dont get it either...and as mentioned above...I am not the only one

[@DerpyTheCow47]

@jc9301 I can add IV just fine…I think….unless I just put 3 on instead

[@jc9301]

@@DerpyTheCow47 i added Hyper 30 instead of Exp 4...when I removed hyper 30 to put Exp Sys 4 it wouldnt let me add...wish I could add a pic for ya

[@kengrip4264]

you talk about adding splash but that keeper missile doesnt have any splash ... so even with it not showing splash does it still have it

[@DerpyTheCow47]

The built in weapon has splash - which is why I'm using it

[@kennorris5096]

do you thnk they will introduce a uav anti on flag maybe the uavs damage seems a bit high

[@DerpyTheCow47]

No, probably not. You can drive well and avoid all the damage (more on that later). Also, I have 0 armor

[@user-oz2fp8jq1w]

Splitting,as in on different hulls?

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Yep

[@kevinlandry6167]

What about using sprints instead of MDS3?

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Kixeye tags the enemy promotes so that sprints won’t fire, even if we think they should

[@kevinlandry6167]

well thats messed up considering the sprints have better stats and can hit rockets @@DerpyTheCow47

[@eduardosouza9963]

why mirror maze instead of pteroid? they are the same!

[@DerpyTheCow47]

Yes - so use either one. Good eye

[@user-oz2fp8jq1w]

What is à tank?

[@DerpyTheCow47]

A tank would be a high evade ship driven out front or otherwise targeted more often

[@smconley007]

derpy, found out how to get icons in chat. hold down windows key and press (.) period, will bring up emocions window !!!
