Terror missions are brutal. I have faith that we can rise from the ashes though. Just remember to restock all the guns and booletz.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

We have about 2.5 million left. Which has to last us for a whole month. So budget is going to be tight. Even more so after we lose funding because of that mission.

Keep in mind your engineers can break a profit on certain items (such as laser cannons), with several month of game time I usually make about 50% of my budget with laser cannon factories.

That's assuming he can last several months.

Great Writing!

And at least we got more of them than they did of us :D.

Anyway I would like to reincarnated as Ordinary Dave, a former postal worker who after twenty years working for the postal service is literally ready to go postal and just wants to shoot something...

Also I as soon as our budget stabilizes I would recommend a larger radar display in both Nerv-1 and in the Australian base

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.

I did some digging. Manufacturing profits for current/near-current items:

Laser pistol: $12,000
Laser rifle:   $17,000
Heavy laser: $19,000

Incidentally, plasma pistols sell for $84,000 apiece, and you get them for free.

You can always queue up a massive order and pull engineers off it if something more important comes up, as long as you remember to periodically sell off the overage from stores.

I need to remember to make you a strong guy next time. Before I had you have twice as much as you could carry, so you could only take half a move or a snap shot each turn. Which might be why you died.
