Personal Armor gets my vote.

Personal Armor gets my vote.

We already have personal armor, bozo.  We haven't built it yet, but will.

[Acanthus117]

Okay then, I was misguided by someone else saying that we should research that. I'll go for lasers then.

[zchris13]

Lasers, hovertanks, power armor.  And get the heavy plasma or plasma rifle and plasma cannon in before power armor.

[muwahahaha]

I'd probably say go for Power Armour, then lasers/plasma. Once we hit power armour the protection really ramps up and we actually have a chance of surviving some hits, not to mention that having armoured death squads stomping through cities just looks awesome.

Aliens can't hurt you when they're dead, now, can they?

[RAM]

This is the finest armour the world has ever seen, we should give our characters a solid chance to explode into gore before upgrading. Besides, I want bigger lasers...
Besides, building ships would be a great opportunity to discover ways to miniaturise the power armour components...

[cganya]

I agree with RAM that upgrading to power armor right away makes little sense. I think we should work our way up to laser cannons after the psi amp is complete in the hopes of created a weapon more potent than the alien's plasma.

[zchris13]

psi amp -> Laser cannon -> heavy plasma or plasma rifle -> plasma cannon -> hovertank and power armor

RP reasons, not meta.  First, protect ourselves (psi).  Then, build a better tank. Next, reverse engineer the alien's weapons. After that, do it better than the aliens, and finally start looking at making our own terror tanks, because we have the components.  This branches off into a better suit of armor.

[Frelock]

I agree with zchris; though it's mostly because I think Mac would love those fancy new laser cannons, and plasma cannons would be even better.

The problem with psi-amps is that theirs not much middle ground between psionics being useless and completely game breaking.

the earlier you get it, the better though as it takes time to improve.

Wow, glad to see this is still going on. Sorry I've been neglecting Shu Bei and this thread. I had a serious case of not wanting to write anything at all. Maybe I shouldn't commit myself to anything like this again, since it always seems to happen. Anyway, I read through everything(I think) and I didn't see too much action. I saw a few updates, but I don't think I noticed any actual missions since the base attack. Am I correct?

[cganya]

you are correct, i've been fighting a case of that as well and have been struggling to get much work on the story done. but this is still alive and i'll continue to make posts. i just need some time. if anyone wants to make posts while they wait, i would love to see them.
