I am still seeing just the shadows, but no the bodies of some civilians
-
Have had related resurrection issues, with soldiers killed by alien fire being alive and well when I return to base.
-
Oh thank you god, I can finally go back to (mostly) crash free xenonauts!
::does the happy dance::
-
I'm a little lost, where did all the burning passion for a fun and fiery thread go?
hmmm does any one else smell long pork?
-
Well in the army you go to a training base, so these soldiers would be taken out of your roster for the set time they are off training, cant use em on mission or anything, they are gone with the SAS or SF or whatever high speed army is offering the training you want
and if your not on good terms with em, you cant sent troops off to train with em
like dog handling, Russians would be the best on that : )
-
mm Ill have to side with Thoth on this one, even in fully powered armored, youll get a fleet supply cruzer and half the aliens have blasta launchers (or at least 6 by my count) you got you 16 dudes and 2 expendable tanks but...did he see my man? em I about to hear "Zshwwooooooo BOOM!" are they going to see me and just try shoot at me, is it a group? just one...crap one is worse..."Zshwwooooo BOOM!"
thank god, he just took a guess and nuked the screen next to my troops
...later that mission he didnt guess...RIP you 3
EPIC
would have liked better ai in OG though : /
-
Then you need to make that case to Chris.
Well once the new update comes out and i can play again, Im going to have to beta test my way up and see how all the weapons work t1 2 3 and 4.
Once I have a solid feel on game play in its current form I may find my argument a moot point lol
otherwise, ya I guess I'll shoot this to chris
-
hmmm tho/max, you got some good points there
but if i could set it up to shoot at some targets and never give them the chance to shoot back Id take it
Even with HP they need to be repaired and all : /
guess that will be left to the mod community
-
taco edit your post to just your response please, no one else has commented and your just wasting space.
Also be more specific, what sounds boring?
10 on 10 alien vs human dog fights?
Air craft gun/missile runs at your (and the aliens) command for Ground combat
or
Flight formations you can have pre picked for your preferred attack style and plan for air combat and also directly relate to their use in ground combat.
-
Go reverse.
If the longest reloading weapon takes an entire turn, you go from there. If a machine gun takes 50Ap, then the rifle takes 10AP, and so on.
Realism and fun gameplay are not enemies and shouldn't be treated as such.
Actually its a Assault riffle, reload time IS fast, 10 AP to reload a rif and 50 for the saw, would work rather well. it fits with the in game AP and is balanced,
remember with a riffle i get the job of reloading done in 2 seconds if I just drop the spent mag. With practice 1 second would be easy (the sf and sas guys can reload in less then a sec with drop mag)
5 seconds to reload a saw...that can be done but you gotta be good
but in short trash mans idea would work, be balanced and mostly realistic
-
Sinfull
I played ufo gold, fk that, I'm going with xeno
and ya it was more like 10 years ago not 20, but I still play em and you get the idea : )
((But I don't understand....
you are saying you don't like...
free fire
total inventory control
ability to loot the dead
War profiteering (got get money some how though ya it was a touch OP in ufo/tftd)
limited ammo/grenades based on your load out))
you LIKE a class system that micro manages you telling you what you can put on your troops and then only letting you upgrade gear? that and not having any control over what class they are from the word go?
....um I must be horrible confused...the (( )) part is all the stuff that in xeno...a game being made by xcom fans cuz no one is making the game we want...isnt that why your in here? 0.0
EU is for the COD kids who don't know any better and can only mentally handle 2 moves per soldier cuz anything more then that would fry their brains right?
lol
-
Welll first thing first
I would say go into the Xenonauts/Assets/UFOcontent folder and go to all the alien ships (open with note pad)
and up the alien count in craft (usually I treat a 1 as a 4 so 1-5 becomes 4-20 aliens of that type...ya its murder...but FUN)
Hmm alien Hives
I think the reapers should have a "companion" alien race or 3 who store bad @$$ stuff in the hive and show up in small numbers on a base attack (make normal aliens 10% of the ground force in a reaper base.)
I also like humans in holding pens that you have to "try" and get to before the aliens zombie them to bulk up and fend you off.
Hives should be clearly different from the outside so when a hive base is found it shows up as an alien base but as a dif color
so you know "oh fk I got to clear that before it gets bigger"
It could be treated as a alien supply point, much like the idea of aliens having orbiting supply points you could find and shoot down,
Only here you need to go in and destroy a hive (supply point) to slow down the alien war machine and snatch all the good stuff in said supply point making it worth the risk (also more fun then just shooting something out of orbit)
Some stuff is easier for them to make on the ground, hence the bases
If you leave the base they get a boost to craft, weapon and alien "production" ....kinky little aliens...
Not to mention have influence over the area they are in costing your funding from that country as they wheel and deal with the aliens to try and survive as you aren't doing your job
And as each alien has dif strengths and weakness' a base built by one alien race should play different and need different tactics to clear : )
Reaper bases should be a lot of open hanger type space with small 1 and 4 square blocks of cover made out of ...reaper stuff...scattered about (they are melle after all, need cover to close the gap)
Bases with Psi aliens in charge should have glass walls you have to shoot through but the psi aliens can see and psi your men through
The lizard men (forget name) have bad vision, so their base should be a lot of small rooms and corridors
etc
Whatcha all think?
-
I would like to propose another idea.
Ground Combat - Soldier Navigation Tab will become highlited in red when a Xenonaut is bleeding.
During Hidden Movement, my Xenonauts keep getting shot without me knowing about it. I understand this is because I'm not supposed to see where a shot is coming from behind me, but I still need to know when a soldier gets hit and is bleeding.
Sometimes I will go a turn without knowing my Xeno's got shot, and suddenly 2 guys drop dead.
Sorry for the late reply, your idea is up hobo
mouse wheel idea is up too
-
Has the thought of alien sympathizers ever come to mind? Maybe countries that signed pacts with the aliens now have alien sympathizers that you will also have to deal with?
This has been talked about A LOT, but I'm not seeing it in the RWL, adding it back ot the WL and well see what Chris says
-
How about some armored support for the allied military? An APC (might be too big or overpowered) or some other form of vehicle (A jeep or some other vehicle, armed with a machinegun) to help allied soldiers to fight the mid to late game alien units.
That will give them a better fighting chance against the aliens... And provide a better distraction so the xenonauts troops can maneuver and destroy the alien forces or escape to fight another day.
Item T13 on the RWL, sorry we asked it was shot down already : (
-
SoloA, could we talk about adding Combat Flight Formations to the dog fight part of the game, and more craft allowed in air combat?
Or are you just adding bad@$$ epic air craft right now?
ether way is good, just wondering
-
I actually started a similar thread covering air craft formations and possible use for air to ground
If we let the aliens also do gun runs then its not OP
its maintaining Air Superiority
HOBO, interesting idea, let me run a tweak to your idea past Gaud
GAUDDLIKE,
is it not possible to spawn "floating weapons" that have no sprite that fire?
or would invis soldiers that fire on targets you mark be easier?
In both cases you would just spawn alien guns, rockets, and machine guns (or aliens and soldier who have no sprites and don't share LOS with ground troops, and have 0 reaction fire) at game start and these "air assets" can then be used.
They would move around the map unknown to the player, and when you mark targets they take a shot from where they are and move towards the marked area
They repeat this for 3 turns (little birds) (total 4 turns of fire)
or 1 turn (jets/alien fighters) with them shooting the same area (total 2 turns of fire)
Aliens should send down air support after 1-20 turns (random)
And your air assets are only their if you bring them
Whatcha think?
-
3 fighters?
Ya lets get into how you and the aliens could have 10 craft or more in a fked up dog fight
x = Craft
-> = Direction of travel
Trail Formation (normal with helicopters)
xxxx----->
Very simple formation one follows the other
1. Tactical formation for speed and low visibility
2. Trail element will break off into multiple independent groups during air combat
3. Tends to cause staggered missile lock and impact (meaning one guy locks fires, then a second or two later, the second fighters locks and fires, then a second later the third)
V formation used with (3,5,7 etc craft)
Can be used to cover a wide area or have waves (every V is a wave) of fighters
x
.x------>
x
1. Offensive Formation that covers a wide area
2. can Immediately bring all weapons to bear on target
3. Good for responding to threads from in-front
Diamond Formation
..x
x...x----->
..x
1. Escort formation
2. Good for responding to threats from in-front, the left, and the right
Staggered trail left
xx
.xx --->
Staggered Trail Right
.xx---->
xx
Both options above are used by both fighters and choppers IRL
this brings two craft to bear on target followed by the trail element again staggering weapon lock and impact a few seconds as the lead element fires and breaks off then the trail element fires and breaks off, from this point the dog fight is left with your two air teams dealing with the new situation you created.
Heavy Left
x
...x
.......x----->
.....x
heavy right
.....x
.......x---->
...x
x
Another Offensive formation that is a modification of the V
Good for bringing offensive fire to targets in front of you, the trailing element again will get staggered missile lock
Echelon Left
x
...x
......x
.........x----->
Echelon Right
.........x----->
......x
...x
x
Adaptive Offensive Formation, easy to bring staggered lock/fire on targets to the front, left, or right
NOTE
If we can bring air to ground weapons on jets/choppers then when you have them do gun runs or missile runs on targets ID's with smoke (later in game with laser) the formation you pick will define how fire power is brought to bear on the marked targets (in short they will shoot down at the area in that pattern)
SECOND NOTE
if we can bring a troop transport, 3 fighters for air escort, and 3 little birds (air to ground attack helicopters) to a mission this opens up new game play
UFO Fighters can come down to assist their buddies on the ground meaning at the start of one of you turns you may go straight into air combat to resolve this new threat, your little birds will scatter (and if you win take 5 turns to return)
and if you lose or have no air cover, the aliens fighters can shoot at your people on the ground doing gun runs same as you would do to them.
This makes it so you need air support on every mission to prevent the aliens from wiping you out with air to ground fire power
(Craft should never be seen as they are too high up, simple spawn the rounds fired at the highest level (4-6 i believe) in game coming down at a sharp angle onto target area)
Input welcome as always : )
-
You can debate the autoresolve in the beta, we're not working on it at the moment so I've not really thought about it yet.
oh great and beloved leader, please...please...PLEASE...leave air combat alone! its friken EPIC!
....well maybe more fighters in a squadron (a chopper and 2 fighters? I can give you guys air formations to use OH new thread! "Air Combat Formations" Will post in a bit for you guys)
....and the "option to auto resolve a dog fight"....would be interesting... to... others, I guess : /

welll I can reload a weapon of the m16 type in 2ish seconds if I drop the spent mag, 5 if i stow the mag
the saw takes about 10 seconds to reload
shot gun takes a about 1 second per round you load
Pric rifle like the m16 about 2 -5 seconds on if I drop or keep the spent mag
rockets like RPGs take...8 seconds give or take a lil
these guys can always ask army guys to do this stuff in exchange for like...putting the helping soldiers names and faces in game "hint hint" and they can get guys in full kit to run and time distances so its all accurate based on what army folk of the infantry variant can do.
how long does it take 10 joes to aim and hit a target, snap shot, etc gimi an average, ok we have a base line...
the resources are out there to be used...if people will use them : )
and then all the work is done for you, you just stick in numbers into the system and make it better at higher tier teck
and vwala, balanced game, no need to balance and tweak and test and go OMFG that pistol shoots sharks...with friken laser beams attached to their heads....WTF
give me a question and Ill give you a time hack

So far on every crash site mission, the aliens have all been inside the crashed UFO even with increased spawn count for the aliens (extra aliens that cant fit inside appear dead adjacent to space craft)
