Captain No-mates posted:So I am like 6-7 hours into the game and the avenger just had its engines disabled by a ufo (which I did not see on the world map :/) and I'm doing a base defence now and this seems impossible since if I move forward I activate like 2 berserkers and MECs is this meant to be this early? It seems pretty hard out of nowhere. Six hours in you should be rocking some decent weapons and armor so yeah. The game will continually throw enemies at you during the mission so rather than trying to kill all of them you should try to shoot the target from range and gtfo For berserkers it is pretty easy to throw them into blind rage so if you tag them at the back of a group of enemies then they will smash everyone between you and him in the process.

Outright banned by ADVENT and all industries attached have been dismantled. Pretty clever really, it would certainly hamstring any resistance when you cant refuel your battle bus.

I like how every time I press scan I can move forward almost a whole twenty minutes before it gets interrupted because a rookie finished training or construction finished or more intel is available or e: Is it a good idea to go straight to psionics after I finish researching the next tier of armor? I have mag weapons and comms and relays up.

I mean, half a day to fly somewhere, 6 days to set up comms, half a day to fly back, with constant. goddamn. interruptions starts to get old real fast I've noticed that, when traveling in the Avenger, just after it arrives at its destination, time resets to when it left. I think they just left the clock running during travel because it'd look odd otherwise.

After finishing Veteran last night, I am starting a new campaign on Commander with self imposed Iron man since a couple of goons posted that they had a total loss due to bugs. I have imported the goon list and will be posting KIA shots. Maybe a Legendary pro can point out flaws in my tactics too. Anyways goon KIA #1 on mission #1 goes to Ciaphus "Commissar" Cain. Sorry buddy, that scope drop was too good to pass up and you were the only one who could get it. Blame FraudEcon for missing his overwatch shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnVzy1-7lnc

I really like the idea that explosions cause a threat assessment level or something that the more you use the more likely reinforcements get called in, with each explosion triggering the chance for harder enemies.

I'd be fighting sectopods by the end of month 1.  e: By the way how hard should I be going for scientists on the geoscape? There's one I can get if I wait five days. They cost like 180 intel so I don't give a poo poo about that, but should I do the wait? I only have 1 other one right now. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Feb 9, 2016 |

Hey, does the GTS specialist-overwatch aim bonus also negate the aim penalty that overwatches usually have? Probably one of my favorite specialist abilities is the ability to put someone else in Covering Fire overwatch when they're using an Aid Protocol gremlin. LOVE IT.

That would be a great mechanic. I'd really love to see night vision/silencers and some sort of deeper Covert Ops mechanic implemented that would reward you for moving silently and efficiently.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Are defense and attack bonuses on a 100 point / percentile scale? Offense and Defense are both 1% chance to hit so yes that's basically correct. It works like Darkest Dungeon in that if someone has 0 natural Defense and you want to have a 100% chance to hit in high cover, you need 140 offense.

Gyshall posted:That would be a great mechanic. Having a silencer should add a mini timer of a turn or two before you lose concealment for an ambush. The downside is that the weapons do less damage and are less accurate at range. Higher level silencers decrease the aim penalty at range.

Actually I think that guy was full of poo poo and people just bought into it when he didn't actually have any numbers for his 50 claim Flashbang applies disorient. Disorient is -20 aim It's quite weak compared to EU so you still get shot. Also covering fire still sucks imo. Bad. Unless something has changed its over watch penalty AND they're in cover so you get that penalty too. I guess it's possible they made the cover bonus not apply but that's how it was in eu oswald ownenstein fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Feb 9, 2016 |

Is he able to run through the red tiles without blowing concealment or is he only useful as being still concealed after my team has blown concealment? Is he just not spotted or something? They'll still blow concealment if they run through red tiles. You typically have to choose between breaking concealment to attack (if it's advantageous) and having them sit out that encounter to maybe sneak up on further pods.
