Almost an hour long video this time around, so get a snack, get comfortable and then watch.

I get almost a week of scan time in to build needed things around the Avenger but still need more supplies to build everything I could get my hands on at this point, but it's a good start. The time allows me to reach New Mexico and establish contact there so I can assault the Avatar facility there. The one that previously warned us that a large and powerful alien was detected guarding the facility. Hurray! Well at least we know what we're getting into this time!





You're legally obligated to bring Cain to the other facilities for the full set now, aren't you?

But, assuming you get a certain blue and white kill with Cain, maybe try the Archon king without a repeater so you can actually show what he does for the LP

He dies like a bitch and makes Guava sad, that's what he does. Guava gets to be happy during Outer Wilds and I get to crush his spirit in XCom, that's how this thing works.

I hope Archon King gets Repeatered again just for the Guava Disappointment.

However I do also hope he gets to live for a turn or two just so you can show off what absolute bullshit he is if he doesn't get Repeatered into oblivion. The other leaders I have no problem with. It's HIM that I Loathe.

Also legit surprised the Muton Queen didn't make your game hang. Whenever I ran into her it was basically flip a coin on if I have one of her reactions break the game's AI/cinematic engine and have her move take 5 minutes. Either just stuck there "thinking" or suuuuuuupeeeeeer slooooooow moooootioooon clooooseeuuuup.

The viper king's gives you something like 40 dodge, which combined with a PCS can put a soldier close to 70 percent evade chance before you factor in cover Ops gains. The person wearing it can very easily become nigh invincible. Its ability isnt as sexy as the other ruler armors, but it's really freaking good.

Specifically it's a spider/wraith suit with 15 more dodge, 1 more hp, and the free action stun.

The Archon King armor can do some very silly things with what the chosen add to the game.

Nothing will feel super impressive after killing the berserker queen last mission but we have to soldier on anyway. Today's mission is a simple guerilla operation to counter a nasty dark event. Meanwhile on the strategy layer of things I need loads and loads more supplies to purchase upgrades in the GTS, build upgrades for the SPARK, expand our powergrid, expand the resistance radio so we can contact more regions, and if we're feeling extra spicy we could build a Psi Lab. There's a lot to do.

How about the opinion that all alcoholic drink taste terribly? This is coming from someone who tolerates tequila/vodka in order to get drunk.

High volume imperial stouts have an important place in my life, and that's for nursing slowly and crying into while I watch my favorite hockey team embarrass themselves.

I have this, and gave it a few tries a year ago. While some of it was fun, the crew customization was cool and complex, the problem I had with it was that I never knew what I was working towards. I had no idea how to spend money I made on meaningful upgrades for the ship nor what I should do next or why I should take any action that I did. I mean I blew up a buncha enemy space ships, boarded a few, but uh, really didn't have any reason as to why I was doing anything.

I got that for abit and then just followed the main storyline to try to get back on track. It starts with the transport of the judicator or w/e her title is from one world to another to investigate the bombing of a certain station.

The main story is a great way to get started. The patriarch of the house focuses on lengthy courier missions that make a ton of money. The eldest daughter asks for spy missions leading into a brutal crew combat. The younger daughter has lots of ship combat with a side of smuggling. The son... focuses on bounty hunting I'm pretty sure.

Ship wise you want to balance your skills with your ship's abilities. If you hit 200% on a skill buy a fancier part to boost the ship's capacity. Unless it would take you over a reactor point breakpoint, weapon wise. I like to buy an improved crew armory as my first big purchase. Boarding makes much more money/exp than blowing up ships. Also makes people hate you a lot less, try not to piss off more than one or two factions.
