^Chris Yep. Encountered a Corvette as my first UFO. My condors limped home from that encounter. They won, but it was probably a hollow victory considering the repair time. Heh. Have yet to send my fresh faced recruits down to it. Looking forward to that.

That's a good idea actually. Though I'd imagine peeps would learn to abuse it. Maybe it should also be affected by how far away a group of soldiers are from the transport.

I'm on the camp of liking the reveal all after x amount of turns. Cuts down some of the busywork. But maybe there should be an option to disable it, for those who don't like it. It's a fair compromise that satisfies both camps.

Edit: Oops. Info's in quiescat's post in the reflex section. Probably should have read it thoroughly instead of skimming through it. Once again, thanks folks. I'll try not to play it too meta.

Thank you to ViewThePhenom and quiescat. That information goes a long way to choosing new recruits and arming them. Also, I had a feeling shotgun\pistol increases a Xenonaut's chances of a reaction. Not that I'm going to arm all my recruits exclusively with pistols and shotguns. Heh. On the subject, I think precision rifles get a negative to reactions. Not sure.

I bought the game on Steam early access about a week ago. Still on v21 stable and really enjoying it (I've managed to clock in 31 hours at the creation of this thread). One thing that I still have little understanding of, is the attributes. I can guess what the obvious stats do, (such as strength, accuracy, TU, HP) but the not so obvious stats have me making "best guesses" on their effects. An example would be Reflex. My best guess would be that it affects(Along with remaining TU) whether a Xenonaut can take a reflexive shot or not during an Alien's turn. So, anyone have more detailed information on the attributes? I've tried searching on the forum, but couldn't find the necessary info. Also, the manual doesn't contain anything substantial either (Edit: probably should have been more attentive of the header in the manual, it's from 2012.) . I think it's worth noting that I've never played any of the X-COM games. Thank you for your patience and for my GOTY (even if it's still in testing!).

^ I don't think he was being derogatory. He was being just making a point and dressing it with exaggeration. Hardly makes him a bigot. I will add this though: I'd rather have 100 competently trained 5'2" transvestites and hairdressers armed with rifles and machine guns against an alien invasion, than 100 incompetent 6'5" muscle men armed with sticks and stones. ;-)
