If it works with squadsight it sounds really good. But rapid fire doesn't work with squadsight so it's probably just ok. Also, do people usually prefer Steady hands or Aim for mainly gunslinger types? Away all Goats fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Feb 16, 2016 |

Even if you're running your Gunslinger up close, you should never find yourself Hunkering Down because dead/stunned enemies are a better defense.

I think it'd be neat if each squaddie had two random abilities assigned to them when they're recruited. You could only unlock one of the two, and it'd be at a random rank, but it'd be fun to build weird builds purely because you know what perks you'll end up with in the end.

I want to actually start my second campaign but I keep seeing cool mods that can't always take effect in an ongoing one  I'm going to post my mod list when I get home from work, assuming I don't forget. I have a ton of QoL mods I think people may enjoy but haven't found yet, and none have crashed my just-under-minumum specs computer (with AMD card even!) so far, so I'm a lucky devil.

That AWC choice mod doesn't have any options besides choosing from a list of every perk, at least at the moment. But I'm gonna keep my eye on it, it has a config file saying "not implemented yet" for more. I think a choice between 2 random perks would be ok for the AWC. Having the full list is really overpowered, and half the fun of the AWC is finding interesting new combos. But being able to avoid something that makes zero sense with a build or the occasional plain crappy ability.

It'd be extremely baller if you could gear it so AWS retraining also rerolled what perks you could choose from, but that might be a little scummy. Edit: While I've got a chance, why am I having such a big issue in getting the SDK tools to work? I'm currently copying my XCOM folder contents into the tools folder to see if that works but this is the second time I've downloaded it and it won't open, what gives?

Give this game a couple of months after some patches and a loving ton of mods and it will be beyond amazing. Just about to get plasma weapons in my legendary campaign and having a ton of fun but i can't help think how much better this game will get.

Thread, I have questions. First off, I got myself a Lieutenant Sharpshooter who's taken Return Fire and Lightning Hands. The AWC also got her Guardian. Should I take Death From Above or Quickdraw, or work towards another build altogether for when (if) she gets Killzone? What is the point to equipping +Will PCS's when psionics no longer depend on Will for offensive? Sure, I'd rather not get a high value soldier mindcontrolled. But there's two Sectoid corpses worth of an item slot for that. Speaking of item slots, I can't seem to find a good use for them on my Demolitionists. If I want to give them more explosives, I can't - you can only have one set of grenades on 'em, apparently, beyond the extra grenade slot in general. I just want to give them more boom or utility, but I can't. Flashbangs and Smoke also count as grenades, after all. Ammo maybe? I haven't gotten to getting a Proving Grounds operational on my Commander run of the game. Finally, who else tweaks standard rookie soldiers and their backgrounds just a little bit with the Full Customization mod? Sometimes, those random backgrounds they start with (needing a missing nation's cities edited in if you run the Expanded Countries option) come with surprising backgrounds of their own.

I really shouldn't have put off psionics as long as did. Holy cow. It's so much fun Dominating an Andromedan and letting them scout for me.

Or even just early game where you don't have enough "real" pcs's to go around, stick it on whoever's carrying the flashbang so that you know you can break a sectoid mind control or whatever. quote:Speaking of item slots, I can't seem to find a good use for them on my Demolitionists.

I haven't gotten to getting a Proving Grounds operational on my Commander run of the game. At some point they'll pick up Salvo, which will make it pretty obvious that you want heavy weapons in them. Battlescanners, medkits and mimic beacons are all reasonable uses in the interim too - you can probably get away with not having a medic specialist if your grenadiers are carrying extra medkits, or just have multiple mimic beacons to remove literally all risk from your missions.

I gave my Medic specialist +30 will to avoid the worst case scenario where I need a medic and she's panicking or mind controlled. But I also have only ever gotten lovely dodge pcs, one good dodge pcs, +4 mobility, +1 mobility, and that one.

I swapped my medic for a grenadier and no regrets e: actually making medkits reduce wound time if used say within a turn or two of injury would be good and also giving them more than one charge on anyone but a perked specialist would make them actually useful but they aren't and when you have already taken the wound and will be out for a month its basically better to blow poo poo up every time. a whole buncha crows fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Feb 16, 2016 |

Dinictus posted:Thread, I have questions. I'm almost certain that Guardian won't work with Killzone. I think it'll work great on both pistoleros and snipers though. Higher Will gives your dudes less chance to panic (chain panics only seems to happen to rookies now though?) and a higher defence against Mindspin. I sell the will PCS' I find  You can't go wrong with mimic beacons or battlescanners, at least until you get the capstone Cone of Destruction (or whatever it's called) skill. Then get poison or incen ammo for sure (if it works with it).

Is there ever a point where PCSs are able to be built in the Proving Ground? I'd like that more than just being stuck with what's on the black market/dropped by aliens.

Nation posted:I swapped my medic for a grenadier and no regrets I switched my medic Specialist over to a more hacker focus, but I still have a hard time giving up Medical Protocol and Restoration. Both have saved a soldier once each and I'd hate to think that those soldiers would be dead without them. It'd be way better if medkits reduced wound time, though, or could reduce wound severity by a step.

I hope the new decorative mods add some cool new armour/costume options. The existing stuff is cool, but drops off a cliff for the later armours. It would be cool to have high-tech armours that also look grimy and makeshift to keep with the guerilla theme.
