Re: Opinion on Rocketeers

I'm playing on 1.1 and yeah, flamethrowers get blocked by cover all the time. They're useless. All the risk of getting up in the ayys faces without any of the payoff that a 100% to hit, high crit, close encounters assault has. The technical is straddling two completely contradictory roles - they're...

Re: Thoughts on supplies and research progress

I see enough questions on early game supplies and corpses from new players that I think we need a guide for the 201 forum. Something that not only covers earning but also easily avoided spending mistakes (like how to rescue sci/eng rather than buy from market).

Sitting around on forums is counterproductive when you got bugs to fix and suchlike.
Working is counterproductive when you have forum posts to make.

Re: Secure Network Tower - only 5 soldiers in Squad?

I don't like technicals or grenadiers in these because of limited ammo plus smaller pods. Rangers and gunners are magnificent here. My most successful team so far was sniper (with clutch shot and QuickDraw), gunner, ranger (officer with face off and QuickDraw), assault, and shinobi. This is now my g...

Re: Close combat assaults and sword shinobis seem useless

2. use shinobi before assault class flank. That's the big one, your shinobi should always be stealthed behind the enemies so you know the exact result of a running-and-gunning before you do it. This. Also, you never activate a pod by surprise if you are charging to melee from behind. Sending the sh...

Re: Can we skip faceless man missions?

The Faceless won't be gone if you evac from a rendezvous without killing it. At least, it's not supposed to be. Which does seem kind of silly. "Hey, Bob, why weren't you there for that Faceless hunt?" "Uhhh, I was sick." "And that guy we got a look at, hanging out with that...

If you mean the rendezvous missions, skipping them means you keep losing supplies to "mysterious circumstances ". If you skip retaliations then your haven has people die.

With "all in" does that change how fast you exhaust a territory, or increase the 2000-2500 supplies available? In other words, is it really more supplies or just faster? Probably just faster. I haven't checked how exactly the limiter is coded. Still good though. Check this from the ini fi...

And it also bothers me when Mutons get free movement actions when being shot at ( though this can be abused, it's not the point, but leads to another negative ). Nothing like seeing a Muton go from 2 screens away to right in your face after a few rounds of pot shots. I'm surprised the Sectoids don'...

Shinobi don't use sniper rifles and specialists don't have grenade launchers. Classes have advantages and disadvantages. If you really want you can equip a hack pcs and skulljack for bonuses to their hacking stat.
