((Backstory finished.))

By story mission, do you mean like the council missions, or as in something that would have an actual plottyness effeectivenes something or another? And if the first, does that mean unconventional objectives are not allowed at all?

Story missions as in missions required to continue the plot. So like the Alien base assault in the game. So council missions are fine.

Are missions that chain together to form a self contained subplot allowed?

[smurfingtonthethird]

Are snipers still ridiculously overpowered? Please say yes.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Please say no. I mean, sure, have Squadsight, just..."overpowered" means they're not just strong, but stronger than anyone else. And if you steal Anastasiya's kills she will be angry.

[killerhellhound]

I hope if intercepter combat is included it's like  this as having three intercepters going as a squad is better then a lone wolf

With approval from me, yes. You will have to outline the whole thing in advance, and it has to be reasonable. The "You can run a mission" is more for alien abduction and council missions, but you can make your own subplot if you want.

Are snipers still ridiculously overpowered? Please say yes.

I have found my own, unique, way to balance them. Heh heh heh.

Also, keep the  characters coming guys. The first 5 just get to go on the first mission. There will be many, many more missions. Also, on these missions, there may be anywhere from 4-20 players.

[killerhellhound]

Oh god Seekers maybe or even enemy snipers

[werty892]

And yes, this includes the DLC. So gene mods and mechs.

Name:Maxclone I
Gender: Male
Apparent Age: 30 - Actual Age: 2y6mo (Laboratory Grown)
Appearance: Short and stocky, the Maxclone has powerful legs and arms, perfect for carrying heavy weaponry and large quantities of explosives. Maxclone I has close cropped black hair, a neatly trimmed mustache and goatee, brilliant green eyes, and dark olive skin. He is approximately five feet tall, and weighs 180 lbs.
Bio:The original Max Greene was killed in a horrifying flying suit prototype failure, before X-Com had an actual enemy. However, enough of his body was found to make clones, to make use of his vastly high potential. Clones of Max Greene (henceforth known as "Maxclones") have been used in numerous experiments, mostly thanks to the clones' bravery, extreme overconfidence, self-destructive tendencies, and love of explosions. An international treaty has been signed to keep no more than one Maxclone in any infantry unit, due to an almost suicidal urge to engage in combat when in a theater of operations. This has resulted in extreme losses to civilian escorts, soft targets within range of the clones, and munitions. While in base, the Maxclones are happy to exaggerate rumors and stories to absurd levels, and drink as much alcohol as humanly possible, especially when allowed to associate with one another. They tend to shy away from training and exercise, except Combatives and Explosives training, and shirk responsibilities whenever possible. All in all, the Maxclones are not terribly good soldiers, but when properly motivated, they are a force of destruction like no other. Most Maxclones are short, caucasian, and dark haired. All identify as Americans.
Speaking Color:Orange
Aim:45
Will:55
Health:4+1

It's not really X-Com without a Maxclone or six, is it?

killerhellhound, GreatWyrmGold, Patrick Hunt, DarkArtemisFowl, and Alexandria, you are all in for the first mission. I will post a intro this afternoon.

And to clarify upon the "Reasonable" thing in the subplots, they can't be "X-COM finds a super rock that gives them all superpowers and now aliens are attacking them so they can steal their eye lasers or something" Just keep it balanced.
