Play Apoc again and try not to embarrass yourself this time!

Nothing. The LP was bad and you should feel bad.

What happens if we sell everything and buy a hawk?

The Hawk Air Warrior is a wonderful thing to deal massive damage with, but judging from my playthroughs, it's usually a better idea to have some other craft in the air as well to draw attention because losing your new and ludicrously expensive Hawk can and will ruin your day.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Name a recruit as Jacen if you will.

Damn, I'm getting a lot of close calls.

I vote for option C. Option A is safer and offers more DPS, but at about $250 per damage point. Also, risks are fun.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I vote C as well. Higher DPS concentrated on several ships means we're more likely to score a kill before losing much ourselves. The Valkyrie isn't unkillable of course, but as long as hoverbikes draw away fire, it should be okay.

[Sheb]

I vote A. Seriously, I trust Nathan, gives him the tool, he'll fuck shit up.

Can you name pilot? I'd like one to be called Sheb.

[Shadowgandor]

I vote A.

[BunnyBob77]

I vote C, and would like to request BunnyBob's vengeful brother, RabbitJoe, as a trooper.

Wow, tie votes. Interesting.

I am going to break the tie and start week two, but you'll have to keep tuning in to know which direction we chose. Suspense!

As I started the process of outfitting the ships, I realized that the 200 Janitor missiles (that suck) sell for a healthy chunk of change. Bankruptcy avoided.

I am going to try to do an entire week in one update, but if it gets too bloated I'll break it up.

Turns out you can. You are flying a Hoverbike. There are no stats kept on pilots but I'll tell you when
 if you die.

Hawk Air Warriors aren't on the market yet and won't be for another 3 weeks and I don't want to only have one craft.

Everyone who asked for a name should see themselves in the list of the first post. I am sorry if I missed you, remind me and I'll try to get you in for week three.

Ranks would also be nice, so we know who we are the boss of, but as I said earlier, making it too fiddly will make the LP less fun and more likely to fail, so you should avoid hassles such as listening to whiny spectators...

Hold the phone, what? We're playing the same game, right? If you haven't installed any mods (are there even mods for Apoc?), Hawks enter the market at the start of week 2. Now, only having one craft is a perfectly reasonable rationale for not wanting to trade everything for a Hawk... but what's up with the 3 weeks part?

... either there's something strange going on here, or I'm very confused.

If you happen to come across a Cyborg named 612-DWARF-AVENUE, be a dear and give him a sniper rifle and some aliens to use it on.

Neither. I was very confused.

I thought at first that the game went by weeks instead of months but when the last day of "week one" ended I did not get the budget screen, so I assumed I remembered wrong.

My mistake!

The week actually just flipped, but for purposes of the LP we are going to ignore my mistake and continue as if nothing happened.

Anyway, this doesn't change as much as you would think. There are some new items on the market and we do now have $69k, but our plan will move forward as before.

If you look at the week in review, you can kind of see what rank everyone is. The ranks are explained here: http://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Agents_(Apocalypse)

I think you missed me for names.  Great LP so far, still loving it.

[Thexor]

Hah, and here I'd forgotten about the end-of-week money. That'll make life a little easier! 

...actually, have you raided the CoS yet? A few Psiclones would make life a lot easier. And, last I checked, your guys were all at full health - that, to me, says you aren't putting them in harms way enough.
