Well, in that case, I'm putting it out there that I WANT THE PSYCHIC POWERS. ALL OF THEM.

Unless they're not in this version or something.

As you know, it's not guaranteed that any specific soldier will get them.

[mastahcheese]

(Meh, Xeno-Biology sounds good.)

The commander walks through the sliding, automatic doors of the research lab, wishing it were a normal door so he could kick it open dramatically. Maybe he'll order something like that.
"We've got aliens for you to examine!" He called out, with a subordinate wheeling over a cart of three, wretchedly disfigured corpses.
"What the heck happened to them? They're torn to pieces already!"
"That 'Parade' guy in the infirmary says they took them all out with grenades, except for one, which dies from some sort of... psychic backlash? Don't know what he was talkin' about. We're saving that one so you can dissect it later." And with that he chucked a couple of odd, metallic fragments on the table. "That's what's left of its weapon, the rest were destroyed by overuse of the grenades."
"...That won't even be enough to study, this is serious-"
"Keep the change!" He said, walking out of the room.

March 5th

"Sir! We have reports of Alien Abductions across the globe! Volgograd, Russia; Alexandria, Egypt; and Shanghai, China are all calling for us to help!"
"Good! What are they offering for us to help?"
"Er, offering? Um, hold on..." The man at the line called the cities back, as the commander inspected his own fingernails. He needs to clip them more often.
"Russia is offering 4 of their best Scientists, China is offering 4 of their best Engineers, and Egypt is offering 200 dollars, cash."
"Hmm..." The commander mused, rubbing his clean-shaven chin.

[Teneb]

Engineers. Glorious engineers.

[Playergamer]

Engineers.

[Darkening Kaos]

    Can never get enough engineers.

[Remuthra]

!!SCIENTISTS!!

[mastahcheese]

(You sound like my kind of people, I always go for engineers, too.
Oh, and I'd hardly consider psychic powers to be late-game, I usually get ahold of them before the third month, one of the first things I usually go for.)

"Tell China they have a deal! I'm heading down to the barracks!"

Hmm, not sure how to do the team selection, may do it randomly if someone doesn't come up with a better idea.

[Playergamer]

Oh great, I'm the worst.

[Remuthra]

Woo, trick shots for me!

[GentlemanRaptor]

XCOM EW? Put me in. This was my favorite expansion/DLC of last year.

[mastahcheese]

Oh great, I'm the worst.

Did you see Highmax's Will?

ALSO, we have infinite grenades, but we'll need to make med-kits.
They cost 25 each, how many should we make? (We could easily make enough for a full team.)

[Teneb]

I suggest randomly selecting. No opinion on medkits.

Enough medkits that we never need to worry about us running out on a mission. Or the max we can carry per mission

[IronyOwl]

Throw me in as well. I look forward to seeing the ability roulette thing.

Damage roulette is absolutely brutal when it triggers wrong, though. Prepare to lose a lot of good men to situations you didn't think would cost you a lot of good men.

Hmm, not sure how to do the team selection, may do it randomly if someone doesn't come up with a better idea.

Randomly sounds good. Building a functional squad with one or two veterans and at least one or two newbies, trying to keep overall missions participated in even, might work better.

For medikits... it depends on how many people want to use medikits, doesn't it? It's not like there's any harm in building them on demand if we get a full squad of medics. On the other hand, they are cheap enough that you could just build "all of them" right now if you don't want to bother with it.

[mastahcheese]

(Dang it, IronyOwl! I had just rolled for the team when you joined! And random.org is down, so I have to go find that obscure website google gave me again. grumble, grumble.)

(And I'll go ahead and make 4 med-kits.)
