esearch:


>Project P.S.I [100 SCI, 100 MIL, 3 Month] I believe we can use our subject here as a live weapon. We can focus her psionic energy on our enemies in the field, the potentials are endless.

>Stun Captain Autopsy I [ 20 SCI, 1 MIL, 1 Stun captain corpses, 1 week] A magnificent example of the combination of Flesh and Metal, commander. This might open a non lethal route for our soldiers. I am sure we will find more advance on the long run with this specfic specimen

>Stun Lancer Autopsy [ 20 SCI, 500K, 2 Stun Lancer corpses, 6 days] So far, they aren't different from our advent soldiers we have encounter. However, rush something to consider. Perhaps, i can make some combat stimulant serum at the end of this research.

>ELR-GEN II , [10 ELR-GEN power source 3 sci, 3 mil, 2 weeks] Now we can focus on the original us of it. We can implement it into our generator, increasing productivity by 300%

>Alien Materials [Requires 10 Sci,10 Eng 100 Alien/Advent weapon fragment, 100 Alloy, 100 Elirium, 1 Mil, 2 weeks] Our understandings of these alien materials were lost twenty years ago, to fully uncover their potential, we need to thoroughly research them, commander.

>Advent weapon fragments II [10 SCI, 10 ENG, 150 Advent weapon fragment, 1 Mil, 2 weeks] Commander, we believe we can take a step forward, we can assemble these fragments to create weapons of our own. we will still use conventional ammo but its efficiency is ten folds better than our current arsenal

>Advent PSI Captain Autopsy II [30 SCI, 3 PSI Corpses,1.5 Mil, 6 days] There are more secrets to be uncovered with this specimen commander. We must win this race at any costs.

>Advent Shield [20 Sci, 20 ENG, 20 Shield Shard, 1 MIL, 1 week] Commander, While we can't make shields of our own, we can incorporate these shards into our scatter grenades. they will prove to be deadly to both light and heavy armored troops

>Advent Armour II [Requires 20 SCI, 20 Damaged Advent armour, 20 ENG, 3 MIL, 2 Weeks] Commander, Our breakthrough can be ever better with Moddable Armour. This opens a new route for protecting our soldiers

>Project MELD [1000 MELD, 100 SCI, 100 ENG, 10 MIL, 3 weeks] With the recent autopsy of the grunt soldier, We discover that they have been heavily altered with MELD. Should we finish this project, we can genetically modify our soldiers.

>P.S.I Isthmus [100 ENG, 100 MIL, 3 Months] "I don't like this, commander. What differentiate US from them? It is all the same...."

>Reverse Engineer Disruptor Wreck I [20 ENG, 1 Disruptor Wreck, 500k, 3 days] Commander, This Disruptor have an interesting cloaking technology, For now, I will figure out something to see through this field.

>Reverse Engineer Sniper wreck I [30 ENG, 1 sniper wreck, 1 week] I think our sharpshooters will love this project, commander. we can 'Mark' enemies with the tagger once this is project is over.

>Arm Skyranger [10 Engi, 300k, 5 LMG, 2 Rocket launcher, 4 days] i think i can rig the skyranger, commander. It is not an ideal answer but it is better than leaving big sky defenseless. Plus, our boys can use some help from the skies if things got too rough

>Build a training school [Requires at least 5 trained tactician OR 5 Sim programs, 5 power, 10 Eng, 500k Mil, 1 week] Let's face it commander, most of our men aren't even solider. They lack proper training. we could decrease our casualties by having more trained soldiers
>U.A.R Chip [500k, 10 ENG, 1 turret wreck]: for better targeting and/or automated Shiv/Raven/Skyranger

>New Aircraft? [1 MIL, 20 ENG, 1 week 200 Plane parts] Our boys can do wonders, commander. Bring us more plane parts and we will glue it together. Not as sufficient as our Ravens or our Skyrangers but i will do.

>Build gene labs [1.5 MIL, 30 ENG, 1 week] I don't like tampering with our soldiers commander but we can build this facility designated with toying with god's creation.

>Build Smoke drone [Processing unit/field Eng to control, 5 smoke grenade, 5 ENG, 100 Alloy, 100 k, 1 day] this little bugger will keep our soldier concealed but it is too fragile for basically anything.

Everyone else gets secondary chip. For.. 750,000 I think?

>Promotions
Khaleed, Vega, and Malik should be promoted to corporal.
Brandon Smith should be promoted as well.

All non-sniper weapons should be modded with Millimeter scanners, which releases pulses every few seconds and show on the scope screen targets hiding behind obstacles. Sniper rifles should be moddable with night and thermal vision and x16 scopes if they're not already.

Dp we have any research or projects currently being carried out?

No ongoing research/projects

I figured out we will just go with the kill count : +10 corporal,+20 next rank and so on to make things simpler

We might research new weapons in the future so all of this might be obsolete soon

Also Hello anon

>>44770438
Hello, hello.

I'd give one to Malik as well. When one soldier needs resting we'll have a backup.

Sure.

I need to wash the dishes but I'll stick around for the OP choice.

>>44770973
Then what did you mod and implement from that post?
If you're going to up te difficulty then you have to let players fuck themselves over by doing stupid shit, instead of handholding them with warnings and preventing the waste of resources.

Players like that who use up resources without thinking of the consequences or considering the future won't learn if you stop them from burning us all.

I think the threads should be archived correctly now OP.
Make sure to archive it early before someone else does.

>>44771033
They also won't learn if he doesn't. Shitposters gonna shitpost.

Speaking of which, research motion detector next.

>>44770984
"Commander, we have an incoming Exalt transmission in 3...2..."

That's not a valid research or workshop project, anon.

>>44771033
What makes you say the mods aren't compartmentalized both to save resources and to easily unscrew them and apply to new weapons?

>>44771121
Gief MELD and share your MELD expertise with us.

>>44771092
lesson learned.
>>44771033

we didn't mod anything.

Certain choices require me to give a chance for back pedalling. Our current state is too fragile for a major fuck up.

If you want me to say absolutely nothing then fine by me. I will let other players assess and deduce the situation.

This campaign can be lost if we messed around.

>>44771183
Applying mods, implanting chip, and injecting serums into Rookies that won't see combat because they're going to be used to staff XCOM cells and field operations is a waste of resources.

If we're only going to perform these procedures on the soldiers we've already used in combat (and therefore won't be sent to make contacts), instead of all soldiers, then that needs to be specified.

>easily unscrew them and apply to new weapons
Because that hasn't been seen before, as far as we know it's not supported in the actual game, and because the QM said that it would be a waste of resources to mod weapons that are going to become obsolete.

>>44771128
this is wrong.


By doing this ALL of our soldiers will be connected to Oleg, If he dies then EVERYONE is fucked. I only implanted a secondary Nexus chip to Malik where the primary one still belongs to Oleg.

We need to have several mains for this also, this is highly expensive, I suggest saving some of our Money, it will be harder to come by

>>44771210
>This campaign can be lost if we messed around.
This is XCOM.
It's supposed to be brutal and unforgiving.
This is an Ironman run, so no savescumming.
It's your choice whether this should be Normal, Hard, or Classic.
The handholding and giving a chance to backpedal seems like it's setting the game on Easy.

>>44771157
so far now we

-Ad weapon fragment
-Disruptor
-1 Secondary chip to Malik

And that's it. I suggest waiting a little for pouring a decent sum of our money on Serum as important as it may be

>>44771273
>If he dies then EVERYONE is fucked
Well hey, it would have been a great learning moment when that one shit anon's decision get's our entire roster of active soldiers killed.

I mean, the last thread where we mentioned that the Nexus chips introduce a glaring fucking weakness was only yesterday. Can't expect anons to remember things from only a day ago.

>>44771157
I know, I'm sorry. I was making a dumb joke about one of the first available techs in the original XCom. It's also useless.

Keep it up, OP! I can't regularly contribute, but this quest is great.

>>44771321
Doesn't the Primary Chipped soldier have to be on the battlefield for the advantages of the Nexus chips to activate?

>>44771183

>>44771350
yes

Can't some money be invested into a business so that we get a share of it's profits kicked our way every months?
Like I dunno, a construction company, with all the buildings we're destroying Advent must surely ask for tertiary contractors?

>>44771369
And you're willing to let it go to waste by being a lil' bitch about it, eggsalt-kun,

>>44771369
>Demand something else?
"Alright, then how about advanced workshop equipment and some money.
"We know you've got deep accounts, Exalt.
"Be honest; did one of your backers end up winning that Mega Billions jackpot from before the War?"

>>44771369
>Demand something else?
scientists, we're running a bit low

>>44771369
>yes
Uh, then any secondary chipped soldiers will die, regardless of if they're on the battlefield or back at base, if the Primary dies.
And there can only be one Primary?

>>44771249
The list was of active xcom personnel that saw combat and had kill counts, they're already classed and there are 20 Rookies that weren't discussed.

>Then that needs to be specified
Perhaps, though the intention indirectly specified when I added the costs "750,000". OP isn't a computer or some asperger autist and understands the purpose of some decisions.

>Because that hasn't been seen before, as far as we know it's not supported in the actual game
Engineering is all about practicality and economic viability. Weapons are not only designed to fit human psychology, but to maintain their compatibility with addons and other existing tech. Even if for some reason they weren't, the mods are still present, they didn't evaporate, and refitting them would be either dirt cheap or could be sold on the market. I'm not sure why you're looking for a 1:1 XCOM video game, when this is just an xcom board quest.

>>44771273
I did ask for Malik to have a main too though. It was a two months research so expenses are expected.

>>44771334
Stay extra salty, loving every moment.

>>44771369
>Demand something else?
Scientists, Engineers, Tacticians, a weapons dealer contact on the Grey Market, Workshop Equipment, and the equipment/trainers we need to get Grenadiers, Field Medics, Field Engineers, and Field Hackers.

>>44771432
no there can be more than one

>>44771457
But the death of any Primary will affect all Chipped soldiers regardless of deployment status?

>>44771369
Yep, and for some scientist and engies as well , thank you very much.

>>44771369
>Demand something else?
MELD is quite fair. And a tactician's phone number would be nice. We could use one.

You, your team and some new rookies sat in silence as the squad was heading for Saudi Arabia. The S.H.I.V was eager to look at/Record everything, With its limited functions, it reacted to different squadmates.

"Corporal, I got something for you." said Big Sky, you didn't know how but those Exalt managed to get into your squad's secure channel.

The man from the other side had a rough, deep voice "I assume this is the squad leader, correct?"

"Yes," you replied.

"Good, now listen carefully, We are heading for a newly constructed containment facility made for our operative codename 'Hive'. We expect from your team to act as a distraction while we dispose of the targets inside. By any means, DONT enter the facility after our target is secured, you will choke and die.

Once the rocket went off , all went to chaos. Nadia's rocket destroyed 2 turrets and exposed the front of the base, despite your order not to, Oleg relocated to a spot where could focus on the Sniper.

The Shiv perhaps saved lives today as it was the main target of almost all the alien forces and it provided much needed cover. Two smoke grenades were popped.

As for the captains, The stun one cabled his way to a position close to your forces, he was ready for another leap, The regular one was calling for reinforcements while the PSI one protected one of the soldiers.

Both the mechs and the sectoid didn't interfere. They focused on guarding the hive. Suddenly, one of the Exalt forces yelled "Gulpers!" Every team on field was approached by these terrifying foes. You spotted them behind your shoulder as they unhinged their jaw ready to bolt at your soldiers. The snipers team were surrounded as well.

None Died so far. Not yet.

It happened so fast.

With the Stun captain unchecked, he grappled his way towards your squad stunning three of the rookies before he was gunned down.

Your Shiv has tanking the front side, he almost scored all the kills by itself.

The rest of the rookies met a painful end as the the gulpers coiled around them and gulped them down in a matter of seconds with the squad being in disarray, some of them were shot by the surviving sniper team (who covered Oleg thankfully) but you will never forget their brief screams and shrieks for help. None was prepared for CQC. None was prepared for this.

Due to their hindrance, the rookies were spat out as a steamy pile of unrecognized flesh, horror and dismay were written on what used to be their faces. Three of them were left. No. You won't die this day.

The exalt suffered from some losses but they were better trained, they knew how to handle this situation, they were pushing towards the base.

the gulpers were dispatched quickly thanks to the snipers covering you. The Shiv could have shot the gulpers but he chose not to for a possible friendly fire.

"Hostiles are neutralized." said the Exalt captain "Send my thanks to your soldiers. Our target is safe. The site is yours is you want the scraps and corpses" from afar, you saw a heavily spotted operative coming out of the small cell-like structure he was detained to. He looked towards your battered team, raising his hands and giving you a thumbs up.

i did, i thought you were talking about something else. sorry.

New research:

>Ad. Stun captain armour I [20 sci, 20 Eng,1 stun captain armour, 1 mil, 1 week] Commander, I think we can make a similar suit similar to this one which will electrocute any hostile alien force within proximity

>Gulper Autopsy [40 SCI, 3 Gulper corpses, 1 Mil, 1 week] What a horrible creation, these 'Gulper' rely on stealth and their devastating stomach acid to dispose of our soldiers. I don't envy our soldier facing this abomination, I think i can make something offense out of this digestive juices.

Exalt sent advanced equipment for our workshop and a tactician as a gratitude for our soldier's sacrifice.

It will take a while to fully edit the pastebin

forgot:

>Sectoid autopsy [30 SCI, 2 sectoid corpses, 1 mil, 1 week] Enhanced with our DNA, this Alien is a force to be reckoned with. With our previous researches on the PSI shield, i believe we can include mind control to it after this research

also promote our 3 rookies

>>44774298
>>44774667
On these debrief screens, could you include losses as well?
We should be told how many soldiers we lost, how many grenades we used, what weapons and armor were rendered useless, and include all of our failures in big, bold letters just like in the games.

we have a memorial but sure, I will do that in the future, makes sense actually.

>>44774752
Oh, and negative comments from the staff would be good, too.

>>44774667
Can we train a 1337 hax0r now?

>>44774778
we need to find to do so.

We should build a training school soon.

>>44774778
to find a specialist

i think i am done editing the pastebin let me know if there is something wrong.


Quick question: Do you feel overwhelmed with the pending research/projects?
>>44774494
>>44774667

>>44774809
How long will that take and at what cost?

>>44774920
are you blind? it is literally on top in the workshop.

God damn .

>>44774920
This is the kind of player we have.
Anons who need everything spoonfed to them, and always need the QM to check their actions for feasibility and whether it's a good idea or not.

>>44774913
I'll check through the pastebin.

As for the projects, no. If the players can't handle it then they deserve to lose.

we haven't decided what to do, yet.

>>44775154
Don't we have Lab and Workshop projects ongoing right now?
Or were they rejected?

>>44775188
[ONGOING]
Ad. weapon fragment II (14 DAYS)
Disruptor wreck (3 days)

>>44774913
Nah it's okay. It's presented in an organized manner.

>>44775019
Get off your high horse, he might be a new player and didn't go through everything yet. There's a substantial amount of information. It's like you think you're in a private session with OP

>>44775154
We'll have to speed time until our projects are done, unless you want to queue? Maybe we should establish contact somewhere new. Can we get new security council members?

>>44775154
Did Exalt upgrade our workshop?

>>44775219
lets not queue, it can fuck with our calculations.
>>44775235
yes.

>>44775219
>There's a substantial amount of information
It's right there in the opening posts and in the pastebin. If an anon can't be bothered to learn the basics of what's going on, they shouldn't be making choices that can fuck us over.

>>44775251
Wait 3 days for the Workshop to open up so we can build the Training School.

I want to see what Class options become available once the School is finished, so I don't want to promote the 3 Rookies yet.

>>44775276
Maybe he doesn't know it's even there in the first place? Assumptions on assumptions. It comes with experience. It's simple enough if you're here since quest 1, if you joined recently you don't get the benefit of gradual build up.

>>44775408
>Maybe he doesn't know it's even there in the first place?
That would mean that he didn't even read OP's posts from this very thread.
It's not gradual buildup, reading through the previous threads to be informed, or even reading the thread to see what other players are debating.
It's having the basic decency to read OP's posts to know what's going on.

>>44775319
[3 days has passed, Reverse Engineer Disruptor wreck has been completed]

New projects:

>Anti-Disruptor goggles [5 ENG, 1 Disruptor wreck, 100k] Now we can see through these fuckers.

>Disruptor suit [10 ENG, 5 Disruptor wreck, 50 Alloy, 750k] Although this suit provides poor defense, it will highly confuse Alien and Advent forces once activated making them miss the target

What do we need to train Field Engineers/Hackers, and where can we steal the things we need?

Does the Disruptor Suit have a limited number of uses?
How long does the distortion field stay up?

"the men are on it command, my best guess is to steal from one of the major civilian technology firms across Asia. Advent have little intrest in human machines or hacking..."

>>44775771
no limited uses, it is not a field more like flashes of colors, it will mess with turrets targeting system and make other shooters dizzy by looking at it. it will temporary blind any close foe (like snek/besrker...etc). it can affect our soldiers.

>>44775873
on it, commander

>>44775873
>Ask Ishmael and Robert
Does any of the current research projects have potential for medical equipment and battlefield medicine?
Have any of our cells heard of medical companies making Advent-related breakthroughs?

>>44775873
we need to restock, badly. should we try our luck at pavefinder or ask the exalt if they have some contacts to share

>>44776086
let's revise the facts here:

-Cloning is a thing in Advent
-Gene splicing/MELD related projects
-perhaps they offer great public services to the society to show that they are the good guys (gene therapy, Anti cancerous drugs...etc)
I think they focus on the offense part of the medical field, like i said before, almost every injury is fatal for both sides.
>>44776101
you sure? we will lose 5 Mil, money is hard to come by

>>44776226
i know, but we're completely out of rockets and still don't have any medikits or similar tech
>Contact Exalt
maybe they know someone...

>>44776226
And medkits were developed from Thin Man venom.

>>44776226
What about the life support modules from the Psi Advent Captain armor? Isn't there tech from there that can be used in medkits?

>>44776226
What good is money if we cannot fight back?

>>44776415
we won't copy and paste from xcom anon,Thin men is a rarity in this setting. besides, it is kind of ridiculous when a magical blue spray can heal a severed arm or a fatal wound.

>>44776489
I don't think so, think of it like a mobile statis chamber. this might contradict what i have said ealier but we must not apply mechanics from the game like Medkit,Hp, etc....
For now, the best our medics can do is to stabilize a non fatal shot via good old fashioned means.

>>44775873
Is there anyway to find old xcom bases to raid for tech and supplies?

>>44776674
Xcom barely started anything before it was wiped out twenty years ago. we won't find magical medkits in it. all the tech there is outdated if there is any. we don't even have a confirmed location on any old xcom base.


>>44776587
money is a resource, a rare one. it must be economized. if someone else agreed with your vote then so be it.


I prefer to stay neutral and not get involved in small arguments between players but i guess, i won't spoon feed anymore, if it is something too vague and not apparent, i will help to clarify it but that's it.

>>44776674
Xcom barely started anything before it was wiped out. we won't find magical medkits in it.

>>44776760
ignore last line.

>>44776760
I was just thinking more magical rockets and grenades instead of magical medkits

I have to go either ways, we will continue in the next session.

Thank you for participating.

>>44776587
If we don't have money we can't keep the lights on, fund research, or construct the weapons to fight back.
We'll end up the same as the resistance in Sudan.

>>44776597
>I don't think so, think of it like a mobile statis chamber. this might contradict what i have said ealier but we must not apply mechanics from the game like Medkit,Hp, etc....
And what about MELD?
It's nanorobots that make different tissues or neural interfaces work.
That's the kind of tech that can stabilize with a nanospray.

Are we going to do abything with the uss aegis or are we still too small for that?

Asking Exalt for anything means we have to give them something or do something for them.
We don't have anything they want, except the comm codes for One and soldiers, neither of which I want to give up.
Doing something for them means potential loss of soldiers and increasing the heat on us from Advent.

We may have to accept that we can't use rockets until we find another weapons depot to attack (potentially from our cell in the USA).

Pavefinder is just a roll of the dice, and from how OP was suggesting against it, the next set of contacts probably doesn't include an arms dealer.

>>44777378
With our cell in the us, could we find some airplane boneyards to get more skyrangers/cargo planes?

>>44777173
i think we're not interacting with them enough, but i don't think we can do much to help them (i don't even think they really want help)

but, sending someone their way to "make them stronger" (more resistant or competent in psi things) could be a possibility, i guess

>>44777512
You do remember that Exalt has outright said they will kill us as soon as Advent are defeated, right?
That we only have 2 psionically active individuals: Brandon "The Beacon" Smith, and the Test Subject.
Brandon is our highest ranked and most senior soldier, as well as the contact point for the Rogue Ethereal.
The Test Subject is absolutely critical to our own psi research an she can be made into the core of a powerful psionic weapon. If she were to fall into Exalt hands, that would give them even more of an advantage against us.

>>44777512
>>44777685
Oh, you're talking about the Rogue?

The Aegis is supposed to be ours to use. Te Rogue doesn't want help, it wants us to fight Advent and the Ethereal Hivemind, an so far doesn't want help from us. It just leads us to things that it thinks will help us.

Of course, it's pissed at us right now because we were weak and pathetic, and it outright said it won't help us next time.

>>44777743
yes, that's exactly why i had the idea to send someone (Brandon would probably be the best choice if it wasn't for the "beacon" thing) to the Rogue for training.
the whole "teach a man to fish instead of giving him a fish"

>>44777846
Except that the Aegis doesn't seem to be where the Rogue is hiding. It offered the Aegis to us as a second base, but it seems too exposed for someone like the Rogue.

And again, it's pissed at us and said it won't help. It wants us to prove ourselves worthy of its assistance, not come to it asking for training.

>>44777846
Remember that if the rogue didn't move it's location, the hivemind wouldn't need Brandon to locate it.
