Long War also changed panic so panicked units only hunker in cover, not start shooting everyone everywhere every time.

In general, though, it does take the game off the rails and allow in more randomness, but it also lowers failure penalties; while skipping a mission in vanilla would be unthinkable, you can do so in LW (or abort a nasty surprise) without dooming your campaign.

At least that makes more sense.

Again, I haven't actually played, so I don't know in action how I'll feel. I just looked through the change long and felt an increasingly compounding sense of...not dread...not annoyance...something in between those two.

I like your new avatar with the skeleton and the revolving door. It reminds me of M21. 

Just how many various avatars have you packed into that link, though?

[Hapah]

When can we expect a M22 doom update?

That one seems to be mostly over, so I think PW might be keeping you on a cliffhanger. Looks like the babysnatching mission is going to be a long one.

I believe that the Sword will move on once 21 and 22 are done, and start 24+ before 23 finishes; at least that's what I gathered.

Gathered from what exactly? IRC?

The phrase "long mission" I imagine. The other long mission I can recall was that anomalous planetoid one where they had to stay there for a year, and 2 other missions passed in that time.

...Timescales?

21.Everyone's about to start dying. 22. Everyone has nearly finished dying. 23.Nobody has managed to get anywhere near dying yet.

Give it a turn for the abduction to go horribly wrong.

Roughly 45 short looping animations of the same skeleton doing different things.

When can we expect a M22 doom update?

Working on it. I'm kinda dragging it out since you guys cut the rope and now you're getting back to the ship while everyone else is still still mid or beginning of their mission. Need to have time to set up another mission.

Could use Sean's thing on Hep as a short mission of sorts.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yeah, give people control of random "volunteers" so they can die horribly for our cause!

[Hapah]

No rush, was just curious. Thanks!

[Parisbre56]

Yeah, or we could do things on ship (assuming we survive). Those of us with nothing to do in terms of actions can just RP a bit.

Too bad Halloween is still some time away... Could do a Sword-ship of horror mission.
