[Replacement clipboards for base screens]

It's from the webcomic Hark a Vagrant ( www.harkavagrant.com ) and it's supposed to be Jules Verne and Edgar Allen Poe. Here's the original.

[Background Background Music?]

First off, I just want to say that I think the in-game music is excellent. However, since any music, no matter how good, gets repetitive after playing it for several hours, do you guys have anything going on in the background while you play? I usually either listen to some Two Steps From Hell playlists on youtube or whatever podcasts I happen to have downloaded on iTunes.

[Video Game Music (with vocals) - Best of]

None of that game counts, it was too amazing.

It can't be patched. It's unpatchable.

[Replacement clipboards for base screens]

The spiral-bound one is my favorite, too!

[Combat Roles and Kit]

I use 2 LMG gunners, 2 Demolitionists (Kabill's breaching charge+shotgun) 2 dedicated riflemen, and 2 variable riflemen (usually carry rifleman kit, change out for rockets/shields/snipers, etc. based on situation)

[Andron Capture]

Makes sense. They're never really "alive" anyway; if you brought a functional one back, all the geeks would do is "kill" it and do what they did with the "corpse" anyway.

[Spiritual Successor?]

Seriously, guys. Just stop posting. This thread is the most obvious troll I've ever seen.

[By Our Powers Combined! Combined Mod Packs]

side door they didn't know they had

When you need work done, call "The Xenonauts", guaranteed fastest contractors on Earth!

[Just a random questions but....]

Rookie orientation training: Now includes courses in how to scream and beg for mercy in 33 languages, and simply how to scream in another 12.

(This is surprisingly important. Accidentally scream out the wrong phrase in Klingon, and you will really have a reason to scream. Or in whatever body-language Reapers use.)

Is that a subtle Pratchett reference I see? Well done, sir!

On the main topic of the thread, I believe that some slang commonly used by rookies (especially near the start of the invasion) might go something like this:

"fuckfuckfuckfuckthatspacelizardjustexplodedthesergeant'sface"

Translated to standard English, this means (roughly) "Oh dear, I am quite likely going to die".

I guess you guys just forgot to post the best video game song, or something? Anyway, here it is.

RULES OF NATUUUURE

[Replacement clipboards for base screens]

I have them backed up, I will upload them again at the weekend, on shift atm so don't have access to them.

Cool, thanks a bunch. I particularly like the spiral-bound notebook for the barracks tab.

[Replacement clipboards for base screens]

I'd kinda like to use these, is there anywhere else I can download them? If it's a bother don't worry about it.

[KWill's Custom Role Symbols]

I like them. What's the text on the banner on the Heavy image say?

[Armoured Assault: A Vehicle Balance Mod]

Neat. I'm gonna check this out for sure.

[Happiness is...]

Killing the last alien from across the map with a lucky shot.

To the creepy dudes in white lab coats. Don't worry, they're probably scientists. The guy in charge says he has a theoretical degree in physics.

[Suggestion\petition about Xenonauts 2.]

And we don't talk about the Lobsterman in the walk-in wardrobe.

Well where ELSE would one keep one's lobsterman valet? You really must have no idea what kind of effort goes into looking one's best for one's visit with Lord Neptune.

[Smoke dissipation]

I use smoke grenades a lot, and I've found myself wishing they lasted longer, mostly because I think they should have a tactical use beyond "shit I left that guy out of cover, better drop some smoke on him". I know out how to change it, but before I go dicking around under the hood I figured I'd ask why it disappears so fast now, in case it's for balance reasons. So, why do smoke grenades currently have a 75% dissipation chance? Was it ever different from how it was now? What kind of effect did that have on their use and balance?

[Where there's smoke, there's apparently fire?]

Alright, cool. You saw my half-hearted attempt at an attention-grabbing title. Anyway, don't know if this has been reported elsewhere yet, but I've had a couple instances of smoke grenades creating flames the turn after they've been thrown. Is this happening for anyone else? I'm playing on 1.03, and have Kabill's combined mod deelie installed.

[Base Personnell]

Strategy question, folks. How do you arrange your bases, personnel-wise? How many Engineers and Scientists do you usually have? How many troops and dropships per base/overall do you use?

[Skitso's Alternative Rank Insignia]

No problem. I remember what a pain in the ass it was to figure that out, because there's another folder called "rankimages" that doesn't actually do anything.

[Skitso's Alternative Rank Insignia]

Irishguy: Download them, them copy them into xenonauts/assets/gui/rankimages, and I believe you have to put them in the two folders inside /gui/rankimages as well.

[Returning old base icons possible?]

I started playing after that was removed, but it looks way better. I'd be interested in using it too.

[Worst. Backer Reward. EVER.]

The other day I noticed I got the Josh Eales trading card on Steam. Normally I don't care about the steam cards, but I am quite pleased with this.

[Worst. Backer Reward. EVER.]

He must be. It's the only plausible explanation.
