YES CHAINSWORD LAUNCHERS

But yeah Hanzoku, your point is exactly why I'm asking - it would be easy enough for me to change the localisation file (or as I call it, the init file), or I can leave it alone; so I'd like some feedback before I choose a course of action :3

[mastahcheese]

I think you'd have to go into steam and disable the function it uses to auto-update, and even then, it depends on if it's steam that cleans it or the game itself.
I think in EW they changed it to not do that anymore.

[WillowLuman]

It might be better to just RP it than to mess with ini.

[Mephansteras]

Signing up for this once we get more recruits:

Name: Aradiel "Harbinger" Darktalon
Gender: Any
Appearance (optional): Caucasian with Black hair

Preferred class: Heavy
Preferred weapon: Heaviest possible
Preferred equipment: SCOPE or Chitin Plating, if AIM is already really high. Eventually going for Titan Armor
Preferred tactics: Attempts to take out groups of enemies by preferences, otherwise followed by taking on the most powerful enemy around.

[crazysheep]

So far we seem to have a small majority rooting for RP over messing with init files.

Mephansteras, your recruit is waitlisted.

[darkpaladin109]

If you're going to mess with the files, make a backup first, I suggest. Other than that, i don't really care.

Spoiler: Interlude 2: Calm Before the (Warp) Storm? (click to show/hide)

We have new recruits! Presenting:
Neophyte Old Man "Gnomies" Henderson (Remuthra)


Neophyte Aradiel "Harbinger" Darktalon (Mephansteras)


No new volunteers meeting Kaje's and walnut's preferred nations have signed up with XCOM yet, so if either of you loosen your nationality preferences, I can set up your soldiers. Our remaining volunteers hail from Norway, Egypt, China and Saudi Arabia.

***

Garroth: It's been quiet. Most of our battle brothers and sisters have left the Apothecarium, recovered from their battle wounds.
Dr Vahlen tells us her team has made good progress on manipulating alien materials, allowing us to manufacture basic torso protective armour.


Garroth: She's also hinting rather strongly that her team should start working on understanding the biology of these xenos we fight. While I understand her priorities, I am rather disturbed by the thought of working near xenos, even if they are dead.
*involuntary shudder*


Bradford: Commander, the Council is calling us on a secure line.
Garroth: Bring them up on the big screen.
Shadowy Council Spokesperson: I'll cut to the chase: we have been sufficiently impressed with XCOM's progress so far. Your methods might be unorthodox, but at the end of the day the job gets done. We were slightly disappointed that Dr Marazuki never made it out from Fortaleza, but that's not a big blot in your copybook. Council out.


Bradford: The British army have sent us a request to test some of the torso armour Dr Vahlen's team has developed. We don't have many in stock at present, so I'd advise you to think carefully before you decide to give them away.

Decision making time! Send the Brits some samples? Y/N

[Kaje]

Am I still waiting for a tag-in or have I been killed already?

[crazysheep]

You're still waiting on a tag-in :3

[Hanzoku]

Zoku: They're easy to produce and might go a ways towards making the local PDF forces more survivable against the aliens. It's not like they're asking for a suit of our power armor.

((Yes.))

[Kaje]

Hah! That's fine - I just hope I don't die as quickly as some of the others when I get some action

[Mephansteras]

4 Engineers for two nanovests? That'll will be quite a boost to our production capabilities. I suggest we go along with the request.

[WillowLuman]

Go for it.

BTW, do we have any squaddies? All our soldiers mentioned to have a class thus far seem to have died.

[Darkening Kaos]

     More engineers is never enough

[HissinhWalnuts]

Oh my, it appears James has decided its better to simply move to Norway so he doesn't have to be involved in the legal shenanigans of getting back into Australia.
