Animal Mother

AP Sniper Rifle! I'm listening.

No, I've never used them. I decided to use Animal Mother because I am a fan of Adam Baldwin, and from the looks of things, not the only one (I usually have to put numbers in with the username because the original had been used up) Also just a thought, does Energy Cells use Alenium or Alloys to manufacture? Perhaps with minimal staff you could convert Plasma Clips into energy cells for less material.

Its true that in UFO: EU I used to build a lot of laser rifles, not only because they didn't require any ammo, but because I generate income from selling a batch. At the moment, Xeno' is not fully fleshed out, but whats been happening is that I would have two specialists equiped with laser weaponry, and my assault troops would have MGs (prefably with Wolf Armor as well) as they will be storming crash-sites and buildings. The only ballistic weapon that I would get rid off as soon as possible is the Pistol and Shotgun, everything else I would use, even in late game.

You could pick them up during ground combat and use them only for that battle, you lose the weapon once the craft is secured and it is auto sold. Also the only thing that appears in stores are Plasma Clips, but not the weapons themselves

Also, you can use them if you pick them up during ground combat, but for some reason they are not stored in the stores thereafter.

It would be great if you could pick up corpes just to use as shields

It has just occured to me as well, used a shotgun against a Reptillian, first one missed, second one hit and at same time crashed. Tried to load up my autosave and that also caused a CTD. I was in the Industrial tileset and clearing out a light-scout wreak. May be a problem with the new suppressed feature or game can't find the appropriate animation for being hit? Though I have less suspicions that its a Suppresion problem as from what Chris worded his changelog, any bullet that is fired at a target (regardless of whether it hits or misses) counts towards suppression

Speaking of which, I think almost every character in the game is based on a actor. Even the three people on the main menu resemble Burt Reynolds, Gary Oldman and Zachary Quinto

I understand that you need level designers to design the buildings and tilesets, but couldn't most maps be created procedually?

Lol, I like you named the squad members after their actor look-a-likes Have you found Chris Rock yet? Haven't played the game since it updated yet, so I don't know what the female portraits look like yet

One of the best starting positions is the Middle East. I tend to plonk my first base somewhere around Egypt, Sinai Desert, as from there you can cover for the most part 4 different regions (Europe, North Africa, Middle East and Russia (Except Siberia)) and has one of the largest land to sea ratio, then I place my second base in Hong Kong or an area around the South China Seas (Siberia, Indochina, Phillipines, Australia), then my 3rd base either North Mexico or Florida (North America, Mexico, North tip of South America), then I place a base in South America.

I don't know why, but the way I pictured you say that made me lol

My men didn't panic, but they did spend most of their time killing civilians who would randomly run into a crossfire, can't wait to see how they respond to a pineapple "punch" Also I noticed that Chris wants to implement assault shields into the game. Would it be possible to grab a civilian and use them as a shield.

As far as I am aware it is random, first time I got a Terror mission, it occured in Tokyo and it was beyond my Chinooks operating range. The next time it occured a stone's-throw away from my Egypt base, which occured in Italy. Chinooks themselves can go about 5-10% beyond radar coverage, so what I do is attempt to locate my bases as close as possible to the center of the map.
