I think that ethereals are still blacklisted from UFO missions until the Overseer UFO is captured. The main effects of resources are: how many and what types of missions the aliens can run, the types of UFOs that they use to run them and how much meld you get per canister.

My doing well hurt me, but it shouldn't have been this bad. Ethereals can show up on UFO maps (one of the ethereals we've seen so far was on one, in fact). Just got really unlucky.

I think the reason they could see Pander through the MEC's was because you put them to his sides and not next to eachother. leaving an opening between the two MECs to see/shoot through. Nevertheless excellent work.

It would be an interesting challenge if it was like, 14 aliens but they were all max level, imo. It's not like you're going to be going into this with a weak squad anyway.

There would definitely be a season-long storyline about Adeline and Ted helping Scalding Coffee get over his crippling fear of getting shot. I'll be sad when this is done too, I've enjoyed it so much.

Whoever that veteran pilot was that got smoked trying to down the Overseer: he got an offer to be on another show so I had to write him out of the plot. Or maybe it'd be a Babylon 5 thing where the showrunner was forced to put a hotshot handsome pilot into the show, and he made sure to get the pilot killed and out of the show as soon as possible. Anyway we're gonna take about a 1 week break after this episode. Not a health reason, for once. I'm going on vacation. I suspect we'll finish sometime around the end of the month.

I'm playing semi-parallel to this, and I don't know if it helps with the draught you faced, but I just was unable to stop the base defense mission. First turn I see, naturally: So that's the fourth and fifth Ethereals for my game. Of course, it also means I'm going to have to suffer through the base defense. At least I pulled my two maxed out mecs for this.

Grapplejack posted:You're so close to being the only person to have ever finished an LP of long war! On sa I got three! Actually the first wave was really easy, that screenshot is from before I took any actions beyond overwatch fire, and the ethereals never got an action. Later another ethereal dropped as part of a small wave before the mechtoids, and I wasn’t able to kill him since my team was still relocating. His one action was to mindfray someone, not the crazy lance attack or mind control. Really the base assault wasn’t as bad as I’d feared. I think I got really lucky with damage rolls (21 damage critical with a pulse rifle on a mechtoid destroyer that hadn’t been shredded and without heat ammo, I’m not even remotely clear on how that’s possible) and which troops were available - I got both of my maxed out Mecs, an in the zone sniper and a bunch of assaults.

The best EXALT can do, is to make use of their extra abilities working in the criminal underworld. They would make serious bank.
