Trance

I played both the original X-Com and FiraXCOM and honestly, i like both base views, but i strongly in for multiple bases/dropships even though i used secondary bases just to store interceptors/base defences/radar mainly and up to 2 dropships mostly, like someone said already in this thread, i prefer having a more mundane and "realistic" approach to this game than cartoonish soldiers playing heroes.

First of all congratulation on the beta launch GHI, i'm happy for you guys. So i tried one battle today and everything went pretty smoothly except for something : one of my dudes got shot for 35 damage of 37 health by a plasma rifle, after that, i attempted to heal said soldier and i discovered that i couldn't neither heal him nor select the soldier entirely, he literally disappeared from the UI, the soldier model was still in the scenario, also bleeding wounds might not inflict DOT damage, but i'm not so sure about that, given that once a soldiers gets shot and leaves a small puddle of blood, i can't say if it's a simple sign that the soldier got damage or is indeed a bleeding wound. Still, i'm quite happy with how the game plays and looks i feel like it's going to the right direction.

i agree on the fact that these guys are quite expensive, especially the russians, i enjoyed testing some of them and i still use mainly the american fighters, F14 for the 4x heavy hardpoints and the F15 for the cannon+heavy combo, but like said before, the Apollo and Cheburashka are silly cheapand built in no time and they usually can deal with everything, as long as i keep them well armed, the Apollo can take only 2 light laser shots or a missile to be taken down but the 2 cannons hardpoint AND a missile is just too great against fighters, the Cheburashka is slightly better armored but in terms of firepower is almost on par with the F15 as it have the same hardpoint + a cannon.

thats sick, does this version work with games started in 1.3.9 ?

there are ... holes ? on the ceiling ?? well, i guess ill just nuke these c**** from the orbit then, i didnt know about that.

Sebillians inside scouts have them most of the time. So aliens that can shoot through the ceiling is a feature ? I initially discovered it on the M84 ATR, but im quite sure it happened on the M79 aswell.

Mod is great but i have few things that bugs me : 1) like said before, aliens accuracy maybe is too high 2) alien assault plasma is silly broken, there's no dispersion from the pellets but instead it works as like a single blob of pellets that literally destroy my xenonauts with impeccable accuracy and most of the time guaranteed suppression 3) i grounded a landing ship and i board it, in the middle room of the first floor of the ship, i got shot from the upper level by 4-5 sebillians, no fun, i checked every corner of the first floor and there was nobody. 4) when your weapons runs out of ammunition and you got nothing left, by removing this weapon and putting it on the bag, it refills its clips for free. 5) i hate androns.

Regarding the Energy tab crashing the game ... even though i installed the last patch 1.09 my game still crashes when i click it, maybe because i'm still playing a game that i started with the older version (the version when this wasnt fixed) or because i collected some alien energy weapons that i still haven't researched ?

Because they are awful games most of the time, Xenonauts its a very good game at least.

This, i would rather use grenades or rockets than mines

My main base got sieged by a Caesan Carrier in details this what happened in my all 3 playthrough: -1st try- 1)1st wave of Aliens started to teleporting left and right, started shooting things in my facilities 2)In my first tun i moved out my boys in order to scout, no sign of aliens 3)2nd Alien turn, i saw some Teleporting Alien getting close, some of my men got engaged 4)Realizing i scattered my men too much, i order the retreat in the HQRoom, i kill a Leader on my way back 5)Alien troops storm my Workshop where 2 of my men are defending it, 1 got killed by some random shots that went through the eastern wall the other just got some injuries 6)"Wall shots again ? , damn son imma reload" -2nd try- i Scatter all my men just outside the HQRoom leaning all the corners 1)1st Alien turn they do the same thing, teleport here and there, shoot things 2)my 1st turn i just order my men to sit and wait in their corners 3)2nd Alien turn its when i got stuck in the Hidden Movement screen 4) Well, S*** -3rd try- Same setup, same doing, same thing, got stuck in the 3rd turn What happened so far: 1)Aliens eagerly teleporting left and right 2)Shoot down my furnitures and facilities 3)Shooting through walls (Ain't kidding, it happened in the Workshop from the room at the extreme east from it) 4)Hidden Movement screen freeze savefile: https://mega.co.nz/#!5QpnzL7a

So are you telling me that Alien bases are stealing ma' money ? fug, im in april btw.

Hello again, i wish to discuss this topic (again i think) with the rest of the community regarding the upkeep costs in general: To get you a general idea on what are my manteinance cost: This, roughly x3 since i usually build 3 bases, its a lot but fortunately i still gain some good money from the airstrikes that keep me floating, but still the funding money is not enough and is 95% irrelevant and ill explain why and what happens in details : This is my previous month payday and as you can see, they money i got will be used to pay the maintenance costs, now ... considering that still i dont quite understand why certain country no matter how many UFO i shootdown they are still indifferent (Middle East for example, i got my main base there), or worse they got into a Bad status, hell, i eradicated a Alien base in North Africa and not even a thanks, so umh, someone else that got this feeling ? like being in the edge and unsure on where to spend the dosh ?

I dont know if this has been discussed ... but, i'd point out something funny that has popped in my game just a couple mins ago: Just to clarify, these guys are all battleships, aren't they .... a bit too much ................. ? considering the upkeep costs of those damn aircrafts i got, the funding i receive (wich is WAAAY too unbalanced getting something 60 dollars each month and spend 3 millions on manteinance cost) i barely have the aircrafts i need to shoot down a couple of these x base, anyone else noticed this ?

a xcom-like game with Chtulhu monsters instead of Aliens, pls Goldenbros, pls.
