Re: AWC strategies

Rangers can also do well with Pistols as I find they have lots of ways to spend extra ammo. Even just Walk Fire + Light 'Em Up means you can empty out an AR in a single turn. A Pistol to allow you to push back the reload just a little bit longer can be key. Officers also have a small incentive to ge...

Re: Shotgun reaction range not lowered?

It's a questionable trade-off. I wouldn't say no to allowing Arc Thrower overwatch.

Re: alternative primary for Sharshooter

Pistol. Pistol. Please. For Sharpshooter and Shinobi. Optional primary. Good lord, please, primary pistol. Glad to see I'm not the only one who wants this (though I'd also consider letting players take the Pistol instead of their secondary, and do that on any class, but that might cause lots of pro...

Re: Would be nice if you could carry stunned troops

Well... Being in the armed forces up here, I can tell you the typical treatment for panic is in fact a physical strike to try and snap someone out of their state of shock. It actually, does normally work to slap a person to their senses when panicking. The strike actually causes a lot of mental and...

Re: Do Soldiers get stat bonuses with some Abilties

There are some perks that are unconditional stat boosts, but they don't come with other bonuses.

Re: Would be nice if you could carry stunned troops

Besides allowing you to carry the soldier, don't aliens ignore unconscious soldiers? If so, then Sedation might also be useful for taking the heat off of a heavily injured soldier, and would make the above suggestion of sedating low health soldiers work for other situations. Granted, you'd probably ...

Re: Commander's Choice functionality

It does seem odd that soldiers can get promoted to a class they're not particularly suited for, though every class seems to have some options for alternate playstyles (Low mobility, High Aim Assault? Slug Shot and Arc Thrower build!). However, there is still one negative side effect of this, which i...

Re: Upcoming Flamethrower Improvements

Not that I'd say no to any flamethrower improvements, however the Flamethrower charges are on your Technical whether you perk them or not. And, at base, you get two more of them. So, while I'm not a huge fan of the Flamethrower, you've got it strapped to your wrist, so you might as well power it up....
