With that out of the way, cant wait till it's unlocked, hope I get some more action in this one though. |

i'm liking the new pics a lot. not much else to comment on yet, though. snakemen are scary. |

Glad you like it.
I need those volunteers and meatshield names before I post the next update. I have the opposite of the problem EE was experiencing with his reports... |

Looking good. For names you could try lampooning other world leaders.
You might want to replace the Cannon on that interceptor with avalanche missles, Especially for medium UFOs. Just make sure you don't run out of missles. |

Now, on to important matters: my character hasn't killed psy's character yet. If this continues, I will be forced to give this a one.
I like the new format, but there are a few points where the text is weirdly spaced which annoyed me a bit. Otherwise, looks great, but let's get down to more of me blasting psy. |

| Another mission, another failure to kill anything... looks like I really will have to settle for just surviving. The way this is going, I'll be on Mars and still not get any kills... or rather, not go because I'm not good enough... lol |

Nice so far. I think that you are putting the wrong emphasis on the stats though. The most important stats are Firing Accuracy, Reactions, and TUs. Bravery is medium, while low priorities are Strength, Stamina, and Health. (Throwing Accuracy is almost completely irrelevant, even for someone using Grenades exclusively.)
I'd actually rate myself lower, due to bad reactions and merely OK accuracy. I never have many problems with encumberment...strength is one of the stats that builds quickly (every time you fire a weapon, it gives you a chance). I can generally put a weapon and a medpack on every soldier, regardless of strength. I'm glad to be both braver and healthier than maar, in any case. :)
Also, if I were you, I'd just sack your meatshields.
The game sure does feel different when you hit Snakemen. Good luck on Terror missions =O |
| #15 Razoriel[166442] |
| 124-170-45-63.dyn.iinet.net.au |
Ack, I went bad... I started playing the game for myself, lost 4 agents on the first UFO, then the last guy disappeared after I blew up the building he was in. I couldn't find the damn sectoid, so I just gave up... UFO: Alien Invasion is a lot easier (freeware recreation of the game), though you can't blow things up in it.
Anyway, just thought I'd congratulate you on getting us through with so few casualties so far :D. If it were me writing the report, everyone would be dead 10 times over. |

| 97-90-224-237.dhcp.eucl.wi.charter.com |
Sack the meatshields?! Sounds like you're volunteering to go on point for them.
Razoriel: it's been luck so far. I can go through all the previous missions and find guys that probably should be dead, but the RNG saved their lives by either keeping the aliens from firing at all or just missing a lot. And Beater's survival was more a fluke than anything.
I've currently played up to the point of starting the next mission, and it could be a bad one. Need one more volunteer before I update. |
| #17 Razoriel[166458] |
| 124-170-106-21.dyn.iinet.net.au |
| In that case, hooray for luck! :D. And if no-one else volunteers, you can go ahead and conscript my brother - let's call him Faramon (common screen name for him). He was my first casualty, actually - died before he could clear the ramp. That's only if no-one else wants to volunteer. I've got plenty more where her came from :D. |

Let the rest of us know what flaming hot plasma tastes like, wakiki (I hear it is sweet and slightly tangy).
And by the way... I feel like played golf with an alien grenade
Sign me up!
If I survive long enough, I would dearly like to be the bearer of a blaster launcher (heavy weapons). |

Okay, kalibaal is the next soldier.
Working on the update now, but its a bit of an unlucky one for some of us. |

Update is delayed until semester finishes winding down and the last minute panic of doing everything at the last moment that I've been procrastinating all semester subsides.
Sorry for the wait, but it'll probably be 2 weeks or so until the update. I'll make up for it once the semester finishes in mid May. |

Well, I haven't been to Battlereports.com in a while and I come back to find this beauty! Very nice series.
I know a bit about XCom, so if you don't mind I thought I'd just give you a few tips. Some of them are minor spoilers, so if you don't want them, don't read.
- The medium ships you see are supply ships. They are the one's most often used to run supply missions. (go figure!) If you follow one and watch where it lands, it will show you where any alien bases are. Furthermore, as long as a base exists, the supply missions will be run. The UFO's will flow. It's about $2,500,000 in loot for an intact supply ship. Yummy!
- When you shoot down a UFO, you blow up the engines. No engines means no Elerium-115. Also, you usually get twice as much cash value out of the loot when all the gizmos are intact. If the UFO is running very slow over an area, it will often land nearby. It's more risky than shooting it down, but the rewards can be worth it.
- Your interceptors are poorly equiped. Your best weapon right now is the Avalance missile. It doesn't do as much total damage as the stingray, but it's long range let's you engage UFOs outside of the range of their weapons. The Plasma Cannon is even better for this. With Plasma Cannons and cautious attack mode, your interceptors can take on anything but a very large UFOs. You'll need a Avenger for those juggernauts and expect to be out for a month of repairs. When the aliens care enough to send the very large UFOs, I let them do whatever they want. If they are going to do something besides looking intimidating, they'll have to land. Then I can assault them directly and score a cool $4,000,000 in loot.
Oh, feel free to use my name as a soldier. I favor heavy use of RPG's, and would be delighted to carry a rocket launcher into combat for you. |

Timid and Landon Fox have been added to the roster. I finally actually have time to work on the next update a bit and it should be out very soon. My classes ended two weeks ago, but I was on vacation last week and this week something lousy happened which takes precedence over the report, but this incident will all be over by next week on Wednesday (hopefully).
Regular weekly updates to resume very soon! |
| #31 [166548] |
| dblt-216-227-25-152.gtcom.net |
Woot! New update! And I make a pretty good showing in my first appearance, if I do say so myself.
Sorry about your char dying. I'm pretty sure the only possible way to take away the sting is to let my character plug psy's char right between the eyes.
Yes, I'm going to continue to tell you to let my char kill psy's char. An inflated rating is only a headshot away! |

Then we have a problem Maar. I also would like to get a few potshots off on psy ... One eye each?
I was so pumped to see my char getting some action, ... then he failed miserably *sigh*... At least he got a few shots off on the disk ... |
| #33 Razoriel[166551] |
| 124-170-189-175.dyn.iinet.net.au |
| Don't worry Greth, it seems some of us are doomed to nothingness. And I have dibs on Psy's nose... can't go past the nose... |

| d75-154-66-219.abhsia.telus.net |
| That sucks. I guess your character managed to offend the RNG gods. It's anoying to have your ace troops die while the meatsheilds endure. Still your doing much better casualty wise than I usually do. Keep it up. |

I really like this series. Good graphics, nice writing. Very decriptive and funny. I miss the scroll-over feature in the new this part a bit and I somehow had the feeling the the images were a bit slowloading... But that did not bother me. At least a straight 9...
PS.: You got the official allowance to name a character after me... (I have to warn you though, I'm not that good at shooting and will probably die very soon... :[) |
