Other viable strategies: It's a night mission? Bring an autocannon with incendiary ammo. On the first turn just shoot everywhere. Now it's a day mission. Actually, I was very bad at the game, so maybe you should not listen to what I say.

I request that Classtoise's nickname be updated to "F1" or "hair trigger" in light of what happened.

Auto-cannons in that game were great for so many reasons. I kept one on squad long after it had waned in effectiveness against alines. Because it was so good at scenery and area denial. I also had no hesitation in using rocket tanks for similar purposes. I would love to play a modern version. With collapsible buildings etc.

I have wanted a turn-based game with "hyper realistic" destruction physics. Well, more accurate than just Havok/Bullet. As far as I know, they have to cut some corners due to being real time. But a turn-based game could theoretically take a second or two to calculate the structural soundness of a building. I know it takes a little more than that to do actual structural analysis, but maybe it would be enough to do dynamic destruction, maybe collapse the whole building if you shoot jet fuel on the building's steel beams.

That map sucks rear end but you made it work the way you usually do. Can't wait for either the destroyer or a Base assault.

Red Faction: Gurilla managed it. Syndicate Wars also had some, to a limited degree. And in the Force Unleashed they went on about how they'd gotten a good broken glass etc simulator. So we're closer than you think.

So I've been watching this for... a long time, trying to catch up. Up to mission 112 and in here you actively choose to leave a psi tube empty. I am noticing though that you have no psi-snipers at all. Wouldn't it be good to get them psionic so you can give them a neural gunlink? (also reporting in as a volunteer. Make me either of indeterminate gender (so pilot or shiv) or a girl with pink ponytails ) Dancer fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Mar 25, 2016 |

I think it's the case that post base assault/terror mission Booty had people in mind to stick in the tubes and wanted to have the tube open. or all the people with potential he had plans for within the next 10 days.

There's a certain thing you can't do with psionic soldiers, that maybe snipers are ideal for.

Jeez. That mission looked rough. Though I'm starting to think that Gauss weapons might not be good enough anymore, it's almost like you have to catch up and upgrade your weapons soon.

Unfortunately the next level of weapons are Pulse weapons, which are crit-focused weapons that are barely better than what we have now and lack the DR bypassing that Gauss have. The only thing after Beam is Plasma.

Strange thing about your most recent video Booty: Whenever I watch it on my laptop I get a slight stutter every 3 seconds. However, when I watch it on my Xbone, nothing like that happens. Anyone else experience something similar?

But I just tried to watch another youtube video on my laptop in Firefox and it had a weird stutter when fullscreen. Chrome played that video just fine. So maybe there is some bug in Firefox that only manifests on some machines?

Those aliens were caught between a banana man and a hard place. Also Gridlocked showing off how many fucks she gives. Base Assualt hype! I am really looking forward to it. I only pray I get a chance to go on this first one.

*I PUT ON MY BATHROBE AND FEDORA HAT*  So I'm assuming that given your need to survive haha-gently caress-you Long War mission spawning you're basically never going to be able to snag unpopped meld cans again? Or will there eventually be a time when your ground game is strong enough to do some meld running (more or less) safely?
