There are no good close-quarters weapons.

Laser pistol. It's like an infinite ammo SMG.

Uh, that went well. I'm still alive. S-somehow.

I have a ... friend w-who sells exotic food to rich people. If we're not doing anything else with the aliens, he might buy them.

For money-making, Motion Sensors are the most efficient item to mass produce and sell. Laser pistols are also pretty decent.

Director's Report:

I have seen fit to promote our two finest preforming soldiers. We needed commanding officers at this point anyway.



They will make fine squad leaders. I've also seen fit to announce that our lazer research is coming along. That got a bit of good nodding going on, but now their asking for armour. I told them what the R&D chaps told me. The Alien Alloys found on that hunk of metal are being studied now, and they should soon have armour that can stand up to the alien weaponry that took one of thier comrades today.

I also informed them of a even more pleasant surprise. I had put in a order for a Heavy Weapon Platform to be added to our Roster.

Well the melee weapon in this game is for close quarters combat only.

Therefore using it is most likely suicidal.

I'll make it a goal to get Small Launchers before it becomes an issue though.

The following video recording, choppy* and frustrating, appears to barely be intact from nearly ruined overwatch drone that took it.

*Excuse for slightly poor video quality.

(You guys seemed to want a little more action, so...well there ya go. Its FUBAR, but I fucking told you it would be FUBAR when you signed up. Not TO bad though. Heh...I've done worse in the past. We won. With only a few losses.)

Couple of suggestions:

1) Kneeling will improve accuracy and decrease the chance of getting hit.
2) Sell off all but 1 of any alien guns (of each type) you get for a while. It'll net you a lot of money and it'll be a while before you'll need any of them anyway. You'll get lots each mission, so as long as you stock up a bit once you're actually researching a given gun type you should be fine.

Where was the nut with the explosives launcher?  You should have used some excessive force, there.

You were the nut with the rocket launcher you nut.

And you destroyed poor timid Niror Tiror's body aswell.

May he rest in peace, his cannon fodder soul.

Also.

GOD DAMN IT JOSH. Your fucking unkillable!

Poor...  Who?  Oh well.  I wanted to use an autocannon, but a rocket launcher works.  Preferably explosive, but incendiary is plenty of fun.
