Wish granted. Here's your Lobsterman King.

He only spawns during cruise ship terror missions and never actually moves until you find him hiding in a closet on the 2nd floor

:gonk: No. Nooooo.

So in the end if you're looking for a Long War-ish experience with some cool build-your-own-class design but a less bogged down geoscape, it might be worth giving it a try.

Are pod mechanics unchanged? And if so, would you say it would be tough if you enabled the "all pods active" style mods?

Or is it Sputnik posted:

Regarding an expansion, there's also the fact that there isn't much room left in the Avenger. The bare necessities leave you with what, 2-3 spots for rooms?

The turret room is a joke and the lab barely has a place. The former can be re-purposed while keeping its original function (or just roll turrets during Avenger Defense as a baseline), the latter could be expanded upon perhaps by letting it manufacture implants or whatever new stuff is coming.

All rooms could be upgraded further to add new functionality without it being too intrusive. Heck Shen and Tygan's rooms could also get upgrades.

Rewatching the trailer, If this is going to be a Friaxis standard expansion then the final fight with the chosen looks like it'll take place during Operation Leviathan as a murderous showdown with all three of them.

Well I guess they're gonna be very satisfying to shotgun if you wanna explode Star Trek aliens.

Man, they look really dumb, I'm sorry. I'm rewatching the trailer and they look so loving stupid talking really dumb lame stuff in English to the camera.

I like em, mostly warlock, even when they are talking. :shobon:

lmao if you aren't down with new aliens looking dumb as gently caress, Avatars looking stupid is what makes it so incredibly satisfying to shotgun them

Have they said if that plot mission is always going to be reapers and skirmishers(?) in that first mission, with the latter getting captured by the assassin, or if that will randomize abit and you might get a different chosen ruining the day?

so which would you rather gently caress, the old or the new skyranger?

I like the sleek design of the older model but the new one is pretty gruff and manly too

I'd always hoped for certain dark event's "Permanent" status to be tied to certain facilities (Avatar or otherwise) to destroy or infiltration's to manage in order to remove them.

Ah well, maybe a mod will do it. :unsmith:

Well I finally beat unmodded War of the Chosen after taking a long break. A good expansion. Icarus armour and the hunter's weapons on a full gunslinger/sniper was disgustingly powerful. :haw:

As an aside, the main menu amuses me in how great it is, they didn't have to make it randomly choose a vista, aliens and a member of your current campaign squad, but they did, and I love them for it.



So much red.

So. Any fun collections of mods kicking around that you guys suggest looking into? I see ReailityMachina is still in business at least!
