Are you guys still accepting soldier applications?
And if you are, can I have Marsec (flying) armor as part of my equipment?

Is that a request for a soldier? Anyway, how many Marsec torso pieces are on the market is entirely random, so I can't promise you'll get one.

Awesome, The Author continues his tradition of getting horribly wounded but surviving! How long's he out for?

I would say 2-3 days or so. In Apocalypse, wounded soldiers can be ordered out to fight without stat penalties, but they might be killed easier.

Anyway, due to school stuff, there might not be updates for the next 3-4 days, just to let you all know.

My Soldier/Tank
Soldier: Fluid
Race: Android
Gender: Male
Equipment: Two autocannons loaded with explosive rounds and a marsec chest piece when they become available.
A robotic soldier equivalent in intelligence to the tanks and hovertanks of the first war, he is meant to float above the battle and harass the enemy by bombarding them with explosive ammo, and gives the friendly ground troops time to move and return fire.

I'd be cool with sitting out until I'm all better. Can't nearly die on an empty chest cavity.

We should outfit one of our 'droids here with gigantic, shoulder mounted speakers and the entire discography of Megadeth. Let the Arockalypse begin!

Update 8

X-COM Commander’s Log – Robert Steinbach - March 10 2084; 0620h

We’ve hired a few more soldiers.




Standard heavy weapons troops. Should be helpful in the event we need to blow up an alien with autocannon fire (which is always).





All standard troops. Interestingly, Naomh volunteered to carry a stun grapple for capturing live aliens.



…

Note to self: Keep an eye on him.



Anyway, the biochemists say they’ll study the Anthropod first. Let’s hope that this one is an officer.

X-COM Commander’s Log – Robert Steinbach - March 11 2084; 1300h



I was informed that the alien containment unit completed construction last night.



With the unit done, we transferred the aliens into the new one, and destroyed the old one.



Also, the scientists finished their research on the Anthropod.



The Anthropod is humanoid in shape, and bulkier than any human soldier. Strangely, they do not have any form of communication – they do not speak any language or communicate psionically. They do not possess any great intelligence, merely knowing the bare minimum needed to operate their weapons. It looks like these anthropods are the footsoldiers of another alien race, being bred specifically for the purpose of war. Strangely, this one appeared to be dying of old age, despite being here for only a day.



With nothing more interesting to examine, I ordered the biochemists to study the Multiworm, and if possible, find a weakness.

Nothing much interesting happened. There'll be another UFO battle next update. In the meantime, the soldier list is getting a little long. Here it is:

[Archangel]

I'm curious. Why did you make the immortal woman a man and the German man a woman?

The only important difference I can see is Bravery, so do you mind switching them around?

[Itnetlolor]

Am I hired? If I'm reading that spreadsheet correctly, it looks so.

I'll maybe write my intro tomorrow.

[EuchreJack]

The best way to deal with Multiworms is to stun them.  Then, they can't die and spawn into many Hyperworms.  Just remember to destroy/not keep all the multiworms you get.
