Honestly have to say that a generally mechanically blind LP is pretty neat from a different perspective point. Have to say that it’s not really surprising the first death happened here, the Forsaken can be a massive brick tossed at your head with all the massive armor they start out with. Given I know the game mechanics, would you prefer I keep hush hush on commenting on character builds and such? Edit: update on previous page.

Not sure if  or  but when I said take the hits for B Team, Grey, I didn't mean ALL of them...! Ah well. Pretty eventful career even if it was short.Man, the Forsaken look like a nasty step up, huh... Would researching our own cybernetics let us get as ridiculously strong / armoured as that?

Serpentis posted:Not sure if The Forsaken appear to be built with the initial mutation unlocks, so I believe the answer is yes. The difference is that our soldiers can only have two mods out of three, while the Forsaken are completing given over. Bionics is very similar in what unlocks first. Playing this for myself, I'm starting to wish I had not activated the Festering Skies DLC because I am losing the air war and I'm not sure what I can do to meaningfully change that besides just building a dozen planes, and not engaging with the air war is turning havens into Pandoran bases that are a pain to clear.. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Jul 30, 2022 |

Dang, RIP to a real one. Perhaps the new base could be renamed the Serpentis Memorial Site?

Use your evasion equipment to avoid damage in the early parts of an air engagement, then retreat once you've knocked a weapon off. Alien craft keep damage between fights.

I noticed that, which is why I brought up getting more planes. Four is all I've needed to protect the world in the regular game, but I only have enough guns and gear to arm two and between them both they can't reliably take out even one of these airborne baddies, of which there are at least four at any time.

You hit on the solution, basically. Having more planes is a big deal, for the whole game.

 I go on a mission to steal a New Jerico loader.....  This is the research availible to us - I am woefully short of supplies, so I'll need to send a team off to trade our food stockpile - but I need to get troops out there searching, and the new plane will let me defend Africa while still pushing forwards!

Knock out the autopsies and everything you'll use that's less than 10 hours (so don't research a gun if it's flat out worse than the Phoenix equivalent)

The Lone Badger posted:Grenade launcher technology? That sounds promising. I will second this. There are times you need to break stuff and only a grenade launcher can do the job. Grenades in this game aren't as perfect and powerful as they are in XCOM 2 but there are times you need to destroy a wall to open up sight lines or give a monster a full body hemorrhage and there is no substitute.

If there’s any research that gives us resources, then that, else go with Veloxyll’s plan. As for our new plane, I think a fitting name would be the “Five Finger Discount”.

I'm gonna claim someone else as SIGSEGV II. It might also a good idea to try to get better armor.

I think the plane should be called SIGSEGV II. We put his mangled corpse in it and hooked it up to the neural control interface or something.

I get a new vehicle, and help out new Jerico for the reward.  While I'm going for one of the story missions, I do also have the option of further annoying New Jerico.....

I just noticed that I was added as an Infiltrator, in video 15 that just went up on YouTube. Is it possible for the Berserker recruit that just came up to be given my name, and someone else's name given to the Infiltrator?

This went up yesterday, but I didn't get chance to post it up until now. We take on three missions, inclusing a haven defence, a diplomatic mission and a nest raid. We also have to make some research choices.  Should I concentrate on getting scanners online, or getting a cybernetics bay up and running?

Research: Start with the quick Project Glory and Shotgun Technology, then some of the Anu stuff like Advanced Melee Weapons, Priest Class and Fungal Food Production. Bases: Focus on scanners, then possibly Medical Bays?

If you want to do any captures for vivisection, I would recommend the Aspida. It does so much more paralysis than your regular units can do, and it can heal the team in a pinch.

Priest is probably the best thing you can research at this point, hands down.
