Hunters are like X-Com's tanks.

Also, be sure to load up on our weight until we start taking TU penalties, no real reason not to unless we're lacking funds for dakka. I can probably carry a second shield and some smoke grenades.

[Shakerag]

Yeah, I'll take some more medkits.  Maybe a grenade and/or another flashbang. 

Make sure I never use my last medkit unless it's on myself  >_>

[Orb]

Best thing to do if you have extra weight available is to have more grenades. You can never have enough grenades.

Also, good luck with this. I considered LP'ing Xenonauts but it gets to be kind of a grind towards mid-game.

Wow is this game depressing...

A guy with combat experience in Northern Ireland and who is British... I WONDER WHO HE FOUGHT!

I'm pretty sure everyone's as loaded as they can be without taking any weight penalties. If you mean keep going until a certain level of weight penalty, I'll get right on that.

Noted and hue'd on medkit usage.

Well, hopefully that'll mean plenty of time for everyone to level up.

Haha oh wow, air force too. Then again, that's probably still a lot less depressing than a US 'Nam vet.

Hey, would I be able to send you a soldier from my game? I have a few some people would love to use, and they would give you some decent starting power.

Actually, on second thought, sending you a high powered commander would be kinda game breaking...

Name: Yumi Aoki
File Photo:
Physical Description: small build, dyed burgundy hair, white makeup, insists on wearing sunglasses inside
Mental Description: Tense.
Preferred Stats: good accuracy, good TUs, bad bravery, bad strength
Preferred Loadout: Precision Rifle. Flashbangs. Smoke grenades. Frag grenades. Medipack if she can carry it.
Battlefield Behavior: Cool, calm and collected, until any hostile comes anywhere near her, then a blindly fleeing gibbering wreck.
Base Behavior: Spends most of her time lecturing other people about how they should behave.

[Blaze]

If we're already loaded to the point where we're losing TU's, that's enough weight. Particularly for me who's going to need those TUs to uncover aliens for all our snipers.

Swap 1-2 of my regular grenades into smokes though, so I can at least give a bit of cover while exiting the dropship, because if this game is anything like XCOM (And it's a LOT like XCOM), walking into the open results in instant-reaction-fire-induced-plasma-death.

[Darkening Kaos]

Is there an aim penalty if I start with a smoke grenade in hand?  Probably best to do that anyway.  Have it primed and ready to toss before the pod bay doors open.

[Digital Hellhound]

I could take some smokes too. They only fit my sneaky fighting style.

[yobbo]

Smoke.

Smoke to hide the fire.

Yumi carries smoke.

In other words, I want to shoot aliums down in the shiny new fightercraft, its preferable that I am not placed in a dropship, since then I cant shoot things.
Fluff is fun.

September 1st Again: Business As Usual


: "Oh good, we have new recruits!"







: "I see they are no more stable than the last ones."

: "Still, nothing to do now but wait."



"Oh good."









: "Oops."

: "Well, let's try again."


"Well that was easy."




"By the way, you all don't mind a night mission, do you?"



: "Yeah no, that's gonna need some smoke."



: "HEAUAHGH!"

: "NONONONONONONO"

: "Now WHERE was my horse again...?"

: "Found him! But I... can't get the grenade through the doorway...!"

: "NOPE GONNA GO CHECK THIS BOX NOW"

: "We must flank him! VIVA LA REVOLUCION!"


[SCREAMS INTENSIFY]


: "Arrrgh, treacherous-!"

: "My only regret... is... dying...!"

: "That's it...! That's it...! EAT MORE GRENADES AND HIT ME AGAIN!"

: "Ahhh! From behind?! I can't take two at once!"



: "We're all that's left?!?!?!? WARBAGLAGLABAAAAAHAHAAAAAA!"

: "Curses! We slay one, only to be flanked from both east and west...!"

: "M-maybe smoke will help..."





: "Auugh! Viva la... revolucion...!"





: "D-d-d-d-DIE!"

: "YOU GET GRENADES!"



: "Well that's unfortunate."



: "I wonder if recruits might fare better with a few underlings to assist them? The last batch seemed to have poor organization, so perhaps I'll assign a few assistants to each of our new members."

: "Oh, and I'm happy to report that our pilot is fine, but it will take 72 hours to recover his craft."


"After all, losing an important piece of equipment would just be tragic."
