ZenVulgarity posted:Sword rangers I found are really good early and kind of blow late They work really well in pairs. Two late-game sword rangers are about 4x as good as one of them.

Overwatch really is hit or miss on the ambush because they get to dash right away. Uh you shouldn't put them on Overwatch. They stay concealed so let them reposition and strike. And they can conceal themselves one more time if you're in a bad sitch. I'm wondering how many of the "I don't like/understand why they did X with this class..." posts are people who aren't "getting" why they are the way they are. All of the high-end classes are incredibly, insanely good. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Feb 8, 2016 |

Phantom means your Ranger stays in concealment after you start an ambush, at least the first time, which is where Shadowstrike shines--it helps the Ranger just ruin a single nasty target after you've softened them up with the initial grenade. Conceal means your Ranger can help you set up another ambush later on, though I agree that Shadowstrike doesn't really help in that case.

If they made it so Swords applied whatever the effect of your Ammo was then I can see it being worth having them able to miss. If you don't want to miss then you can toss on Tracer Ammo.

It's "Very Difficult". That shouldn't be possible re: Jane, the AWC skill is supposed to be guaranteed afaik. Maybe a bug? A lot of geoscape scans seem like traps. 5 days for 50 supplies is not a good deal. Neither is a Scientist, really. Early game I focus my scan time mainly on things like making contact, engineers, avenger power, and gathering intel for more contacts.

I highly recommend picking up the Vulture perk as soon as possible to at least maximize your chances to picking them up as loot, it's well worth the 75 supplies early in the game to have plenty of cores to play around with for experimental projects throughout the campaign.

I was waiting until the last minute to do an avatar project. I have a lot of dudes, some ranked but only 2 at the highest level and 2 at the level below it. They were all fully healed but I got an urgent mission with 2 days on the avatar clock. I couldn't let anyone get injured! Imanaged (I never reload) to dominate a gatekeeper and use that to prevent my guys from taking any hits. I knocked out the VIP and started going to the exit point. I extracted everyone including my 2 psi guys a couple of turns early. The domination (I had looked it up before, 'for the duration of the mission) ran out since the mind controller was no longer there. I got 2 guys gravely wounded as a result, one top rank and second from the top. Looks like I'll be doing the easiest avatar mission, lol.

Tenzarin posted:So you keep them concealed in the front and trick them to run into shotguns? I have been using rifles on my assaults so they can shoot poo poo without have to take real risky rear end shots. I keep them concealed and in position to flank when the ambush starts. Or, later in a mission, re-conceal and start an ambush with a well-placed grenade before the pod realizes the rest of your squad is there. Or, if that fails, repeat the concealed flank maneuver. Shotguns stop being so risky when you have Implacable, Untouchable, and Rapid Fire. Rapid Fire from flanking about guarantees you a kill on most targets, after which you can run back to cover with your bonus move from Implacable and the first shot against you is guaranteed to miss thanks to Untouchable. vvv Also, this. Thanks to Sharpshooters starting with Squad Sight, a Conceal Ranger can scout ahead and spot for your sniper far beyond what other soldiers can do without triggering a pod. With your sniper on a high enough vantage point and some careful stealth, you can do horrible things from far, far away. Harrow fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Feb 8, 2016 |

Overwatch really is hit or miss on the ambush because they get to dash right away. Shadowstrike is really meant to synergize with phantom. Start the ambush with your grenadier, then follow up with a ranger shot. The bonus applies when you're in concealment, not when you're waking up a pod.

Also give them the ability to make a snap pistol shot and NOT have their turn end, so they can still move afterwards. But as a penalty snap shots are less accurate, like in the good old X-COM days.

I am pretty sure hacking is bugged somehow. I've done like twenty hacks in a row where the best result had a ~60% rate of success and never got it once. I only managed to get one once, early in the game, so I suspect something you pick or are given, perhaps the skulljack, is to blame. Also, if you start off the combat with a Haywire, the bot in question first activates and does the usual pod activation running thing and only then shuts down.

Been trying to mod things a bit, mostly to see what I can fiddle with just through .ini files, and I've hit a weird snag. I've got a mod set up to change a bunch of starting values and costs in DefualtGameData, which is pretty easy to do, but one of them I can't get to stick. Specifically, I'm trying to make it so projects don't cost Elerium Cores. I figured out how to do this in the game files, there's a line in there, ProvingGroundCostScalars=(ItemTemplateName="EleriumCore", Scalar=1.0, Difficulty=0), that multiplies the cost by the Scalar value for whichever difficulty. Setting the Scalar to 0.0 makes it so they don't cost cores, although it's weird cause it's still listed in the game as costing 0 cores, and you still need 1 to have the project enabled, but doing it doesn't use up the core, so it works fine. The weird part is that, when I modify that value in the mod file, XcomGameData, instead of the internal game file, that specific change doesn't stick, and I honestly have no idea why, cause other changes in the same file work fine, like adjusting scalars for time. As far as I can tell, it seems like adjusting prices in a mod GameData file has no effect, while the same adjustments in the internal GameData file do. Any less novice mod wizards have any ideas? Alternatively, will I need to actually download the 66 gigs of mod tools if I want to just change the values more manual-like, rather than using a scaling multiplier? I haven't found any records for tech tree or projects in the ini files that would let me just alter the pricing directly.

Zaphod42 posted:We need lightsabers Honestly, I just hosed around with the .ini and modded swords to have one point higher base damage than the shotguns of the respective tiers. That way there's a decent trade-off: Shotguns allow you fire from relative safety with good odds of a crit, require you to only make one move while often still having a distinct chance of missing. The swords meanwhile offer more dependable baseline damage on a wider variety of targets in return for leaving you more exposed.

ZenVulgarity posted:I think a fun thing was no mods but let each pistol independently have a different ammo type Replace the Pistols with 2 Revolvers, each one can have 1 Mod. They have a special Ammo slot (like the Grenadiers slot) and have the ability to have 2 ammo equipped. Main down side is they have to manage the ammo on both guns (6 shots each), one of their perk levels is the Option of a free Auto Loader on each gun or have the Reload option reload both at once. One tree is focused on getting more shots and the other is weird special effects (themed as custom made ammo). Have the end cap of one side be unloading all your ammo on random targets in your range at -10% hit, Up to 12 shots at full ammo. Other side is a micro missile that has unlimited range and does a small AoE around the target.
