Fallout? Starship Troopers? How about something a lot better? With a toolset and a game like that, someone could make a proper Stargate SG-1 mod. Or perhaps Stargate Atlantis. Just... make it a starsystem instead of a planet, and replace the Avenger with an Ancient city-ship. Fly out on puddle jumpers. Reclaim areas of the city as separate missions. Lots of aliens to fight, lots of people to free/make contact with/win the support of. Could be awesome.

TL;DR Day 1 neko porn mods confirmed

Neko porn is all well and good, but how sophisticated is the jiggle-simulation in their graphics engine?
Beagle confirmed that vipers have jiggle physics after some testing.
I guess models can be altered to have larger owls.
If there's not a slider is it even worth playing?

I was inclined to mod the original xcom to SG1 but somewhat gave up after making a few weapon edits.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

I wanted to make a Stargate mod but I'm still only on season 3 of SG-1.

Personally I thought SG was gimmicky as shit. Then again, so is most of sci-fi.

I mostly meant it as thematically appropriate. :)

Eh, depends on what you mean by gimmicky. A plot device is a plot device &c. regardless of what genre it's in.

That said, even after 70-odd years it's still easier for bad writers to make it in SF than in traditional/mainstream fiction because there's still a smaller total pool of writers (and thus more room for bad ones to enjoy success).

SG-1 is almost made for XCom though. It just fits so perfectly. Going on the away missions could be the bulk of missions, with some base defense/earth/spaceship missions of possible. There's still reverse-engineering of alien tech, plenty of enemies, politics, etc.

SG-1 is really like Xcom but with exploration and tech being the main drive instead of defending the earth.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

And the fact Hotpoint was planning for a dimension hopping XSG-Com battleship being the focus of the next story arc after the conclusion of Atlantis/Terror from the Deep, with jumping to a world X-com lost/was losing being a planned jump, would actually fit entirely with the story. :P

You're all thinking about this the wrong way.

Half Life 2 mod.

Make it happen. Replace the Ranger's machete sword with a crowbar and you're golden.

Wouldn't having a bunch of Freemans in your squad be kinda OP tho?

Also I wonder how you'd implement the gravity gun and all the annoying puzzles into it :D
