Re: Advice

What is the difference in the red fog choices? (quadratic (??) and linear) and which one do you prefer It's the "shape" of the curve when you plot stat penalty vs damage received. See this example RedFogCurveExample.png Note that this is a pure theoretical example, i didn't plot the actua...

Re: Advice

I apologize for being a dummy, but what exactly is a 0% mission? Are you saying going in with 0% infiltration? Wouldn't that be total suicide?? Yes, it's going in with 0% infiltration. Not necessarily suicide if you have the ability to deal with masses of enemies quickly, but you can also be clever...

Re: Advice

As i said, i would wait for 1.3 to be released soon before starting over. There will be some changes that might make those "house rules" needless. In my current run i decided i wouldn't run an "ambush" type mission with less than 50% infiltration and i'm usually closer to 100% b...

and while i'm asking...what are the 0% missions i'm supposed to avoid (house rules)?? i've never really done the shinobi jailbreak or data theft missions successfully, so I haven't "cheated" that way.. It's generally agreed that 0% troop columns and supply raids are a little cheap if you ...

Re: Advice

Basically, GTS projects come when you can afford it. The only one I really prioritise is Vulture since it has a clear return on investment. You'll get enough loot that you wind up selling some as it obsoletes or you can sell a few elerium cores when they are on Very Interested. Oh god, I can't beli...

Re: Faceless question

To have a reasonable idea of having a clean region I chose a non-growing regiong and set a high ranked ofiicer (psion if possible) during three weeks to be something like 95% sure to don't have spies there. When you say high ranked officer... do you mean the ones made in GWC or just high ranking so...

Faceless question

Okay, so I thought that once you rid a region of faceless, that they wouldn't be a problem in that region. i had two separate missions in one region of faceless (one each) and so I thought that region was "cleared." But, apparently, this is not the case. is it because the added rebel might...

Re: locked on HyperPupil IT IS A BUG

Thanks for the save! According to the shot wings, and looking in the debugger, this isn't a bug. You shot at the captain with Buckeye with your previous shot, so the 56% at the start of this turn includes the locked-on bonus. When you shoot and miss, it bumps to 66% to account for hyper-reactive pu...
