Yes. It's like the middle of day 2 and they just now got it figured out. You can thank guys like Cockler or Honky Dong. I'm more of a hands-off commander. ALIENS DETECTED

I remember I was inexplicably awesome as an agent last run. Put me back in, so that I can disappoint you horribly.

Investigation -- Civic Project: Owner: Psyke. Type: Slums. S1: Jose, Big Beef City, MrQwerty, The Protagonist, The Cubelodyte, Luvcow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpL-FwLRiXU It's a moderate sized, split usage dump. Half apartments, half farm of some kind. Slums are weird, they're outside the climate control of the real city, and are basically relics from the old world before there were aliens or spaceships. Anyway I have beef walk around the corner and he's already hosed. There's FOUR of those snakes and he is too puny to hold grenades, and he's too lovely to shoot them all.   He's able to back away slowly and not get caught. Yet. Jose steps in. https://i.imgur.com/tJrSayq.gifv Good, but not good enough. The way they've been fighting this game, even one snake can easily kill a rookie, and they're mean enough to escape stun gas without getting sleepy. The only reason Taint lived was because he's an unbreakable terminator with stats that blow anyone else on the team out of the water. I have Jose take a couple shots, the thing runs away. https://i.imgur.com/kTvX6Nw.gifv I dunno if it's better to be aggressive and kill them before they can kill us, but I don't know that only 4 snakes is the entire contingent. Our guys have low reactions still, it might be fast enough to come back and bite... https://i.imgur.com/qaFsjQD.gifv Yeah this ain't gonna be no clean sweep. Cube gets attacked but Luv pulls the save before there's any wounds. He steps around the corner and finds himself surrounded by the weird embryo things. First time I seen them I thought they would be like grasshoppers and attack, but those aren't legs they're like glued to the ground.  So we got at least three more of those snakes and a pink guy in the upper level. I don't really think we can pull off long range lobs yet so I have Qwerty run up and kill the other snake. Then another one. And there's still three more. I'm starting to get the feeling that missions will be much harder than last time. https://i.imgur.com/qaFsjQD.gifv Protag takes out the two closer ones. Not sure how it's gonna go with that last one. Too far to get to, but too close to be safe. We're burning thru grenades fast. https://i.imgur.com/YGCBh35.gifv It tries to get us but we're good enough to take it down. At least one pink left. https://i.imgur.com/8WJYdLk.gifv Jose catches yet another one: https://i.imgur.com/eoEh9sn.gifv Then, in an unheard-of level of amazing competency https://i.imgur.com/6OUXvSs.gifv So this blue guy comes out thinkin' he's gonna be tough. Jose & Qwerty tag team him. BUT! A shitload of aliens come leaping out with an egg hatching sound effect and attack Jose. Qwerty & Beef kill BOTH of them MID ATTACK, saving Jose's life. loving awesome. We gotta watch out for more of those tho.  Jose catches up to the pink guy, who's panicking. Wraps it up. https://i.imgur.com/ykw4G6X.gifv   HWC & Akratic are on the list. We've hit every building Psyke has, and they're so far the only ones with infiltration. And it keeps going up, but again, the graph is delayed. So,
a) Civic Project. Slum. b) Chronos Block. Slum. c) Necronomicon Mansions. Slum.

Also on the way home Zen saw a cultist driving around and shot missiles, but completely missed everything and caused zero damage. E: I tracked it afterwards, it was a taxi and they went to one of the power stations that run the city

The cops already tried physically blowing up one of their bases, I just didn't catch it on screen. 1337JiveTurkey posted:Interceptor. Packing Retribution missiles if possible. Interceptor-interceptor, or one of the cars? We can afford one more actual interceptor but it'll take 3/4 of our funds, so maybe we'd need to raid just in case. Don't wanna go bankrupt on week1. No other vehicle available can fit a retribution. e: poor junk. You're in the next mission buddy.

Lol you have the exact same loadout. Armor + medkit, machine gun, extra mag, smoke, stun, & frag grenade. Beef got the same except only a smoke grenade, only a pistol, and the mind amp for brainwave attacks. He gunslinged the gently caress outta those two. That's another thing about this game. Agents tend to have a meteoric rise because when you successfully kill you get better and better stats, that make it easier to kill. Then you get slammed into a wall when the aliens change up their own stats or come out with altogether new poo poo, so I usually try to make sure low level guys get in each mission, and a couple higher levels to help carry them if it gets rough. Maybe I'll have the lower guys start stomping on eggs and gestating embryos and stuff.

Junk posted:drat, I got some grinding to do. I dunno. This wasn't the only game like it either, back then there were a fuckload of games put together in a similar way. --- Investigating Necronomicon again is winning, I'm sure no possible bad thing can come from a statement like that. Other votes were just give it time or scope out the civic project one more time. Unless something changes while I'm prepping stuff we'll send all the noobs there soon.

Sekenr posted:Did you fix the roof Some dudes broke the front and back doors off, as well as the side window, and stole all my ladders and tools and other stuff including some water pipes & guitar. So no.  Psyke is still neutral but if we keep pissing them off they'll eventually go rage.  Their other two buildings are directly next to where we are now. Investigate more, or come home & wait for the next decision?
