If you're ever attacking a ship that you know is going to have a Psi alien on board.
i.e. every ship after the base.

I'm thinking of a specific one that doesn't have other ways of attacking other than psi... ;)

What? He's firing from the hip.

The abductor UFO is a tad glitchy. Having three muton squads instantly spawn right behind you after entering the hull is no fun. The RNGod was on my side though, so I won the mission with only my best support soldier dying.

That's actually the only real bug I've encountered so far, apart from the horrendous grenade/rocket cam.

Heh, I'm tempted to name all my characters after dwarves now. Wonder if you could customize them to look like dwarves too.

I kind of wish there were melee weapons so I could do a squad of swordmen.

Also needs more bear cavalry. Battle roar: induces panic to all enemy units in a 10 tile radius; adds 30 to willpower of friendly units. Fire while moving, 20% accuracy penalty. Strong melee attack. Bear-mounted units get half-cover, resulting in alien attacks prioritizing the bears. Have bears approximately the size of large SUVs as a result of genetic engineering.

Yes I am. I did an ironman run of TFTD where the only weapons I used were melee weaponry and the occasional high explosive breaching charge to knock down walls. No guns, no grenades, etc.

I was thinking that might be a fun idea to try, but then I remembered...   Tentaculats.

Assaults should get an ability that lets them overwatch while dashing, allowing them to shoot at aliens they pass by.

Im guessing Robo wants an ability which does something like move-fire-move, not move-move-fire, basically asking for an ability to get a completely free shot with no chance of retaliation (unless enemy on overwatch)

They can already overwatch after dashing by using run and gun.
