INB4 Episode 42, where we lose an entire squad to the door opening bug revealing 4 pods at once

[@coolvery3018]

For sure, a full squad wipe. Didn't think of the door bug. Love where your head is at

[@twinodoom]

I've had a Cargo Barge with 3 Sectopods activated in the first room.

[@darkokat]

I don't understand that bug. I play on console so you open doors with X. How is there not a similar thing for pc?

[@manyheadedmishaps6182]

@@darkokat I think Odd has a mod wherein he has to left-click a spot to move, then confirm the move, preventing misclick movement that could easily kill someone. The game opens doors with left-click, and (without mods) moves with right click. So it misinterprets the position-select command as also being a door-open command because of a mod interaction. I think.

[@darkokat]

@@manyheadedmishaps6182 Ahh makes sense. I mean, he has reloaded a miss click before, so why not disable that mod so you can actually use doors properly?

[@PanchoTheSneaky]

Two missions at a cost of one meme ?!?!?! Unacceptable!!!!!!

[@jodhweijoundica3453]

you need to upgrade mecs, they get more hp when you upgrade them, all 4 abilities are useful too. the electro pulse disables ROBOTIC enemies not organic, and is the best anti-sectopod ability in the game.

[@nightworg]

Chris - you need fusion lance to take down battleships. You can't do it with EMP since you only have one Firestorm on each continent. Also fusion lance has long range where EMP is medium range so much safer. And please make sure Mickey survive. 89 aim as squaddie is the max you can have. She can end up with +130 aim. Good luck Commander😉😊

[@skylar9046]

"Need" is a little strong. Would it be nice to have Fusion Lances? Yeah, but typically, you won't even have them yet. He only has that option because of Gangplank, which makes EMP Cannons the best option. With Dodge and Tracking Modules, it becomes a lot easier, since Battleships fire only a few, high-damage shots. EMPs also don't risk missing like Fusion Lances.

[@nightworg]

@@skylar9046 Then tell us how you take down a battleship without fusion lance and one firestorm

[@skylar9046]

@@nightworg Simple. Firestorm with an EMP Cannon, Tracking Module to prevent the timer from going down and Dodge to avoid enough hits.

[@skylar9046]

Fusion Lances come only after you take down a Battleship - before Friends in Low Places DLC was a thing, your options are to either use Plasma Cannons and hope you land enough shots and dodge the Battleship's, or go EMP Cannon and count on a dodge or two. Short and simple answer: You really aren't supposed to have Fusion Lances or Blaster Launchers by the time the first Battleship appears. They're practically "bonus weapons".

[@Wolfeson28]

0:29 You got it.😁 Leigh currently has a KPM of 2.39 and a DPM of 27.52, which rank 7th and 9th, respectively, out of the 13 eligible soldiers (4+ missions and alive). Her numbers suffer a bit from some missions where she mostly just remains the silent scout the whole time, and of course trying to give the kills to non-Colonels. But she's been getting involved a bit more lately, and when she does get some shots, she typically makes them count...a lot.💥💥 Also, 6:53 oh man, welcome to my world!🤣🤣 Ibrahim's shot there was definitely a crit, and I *think* it went for 8, though it might have been 9 (single digit for sure). I logged it as 8, since our rule is that if we can't see the number, we credit them with the minimum damage it could have been, based on weapon damage ranges and enemy hp.

[@Lukuigi]

Episode 42 has to be an unexpected unprepared sectopod run in.

[@gemberkoekje]

If you attempt a raid on a country which doesn't harbor Exalt, they immediately leave the council.

[@jeroti187]

He could have accused the countries that had already left then the intel that ruled out those countries would have been used to eliminate others in their place.

[@OnlineKenji]

Odd: “The downside is cash. We don’t have money.” Me: * looks around the room at all the smirking ’I told you so’ faces* 😂

[@prcervi]

Happy to join the squad! I'll be readying my girl's last will and testament in the mean time and stopping my log at the day before the council mission Personal Log of Micky “Frosty” Caldwell September 6th - September 13th EXALT has completely lost the tech at this point, it almost feels like we’re bullying them at this point. But EXALT also had taken out several of ours before this point so I don’t actually feel bad. Egypt is now ruled out for their HQ location, it’s a 50/50 shot at it now unless we go after another cell to be 100% certain. EMP canons are ready for action and our second firestorm is equipped for action. And not even three days later we got to test it out on a big scout ship! The results of that mission were even more interesting to me then the fact we’re researching jet pack armor at that same moment. I mean, the jet pack armor is wicked cool too and I’m wondering if the armory will humor me a turn trying it out in between missions once it’s built, but spaceships! Maybe I’m a bit of a one track mind when it comes to space flight but can you blame me? Most kids had a phase were becoming an astronaut was all they wanted to do. Meld haul from the UFO could’ve been better but that wasn’t the most important item we were looking for from the ship. Four fully functional flight computers and two working power sources! We can have four firestorms up and ready in no time! Well, once we have the cash to build both of them, they are pretty expensive.

[@prcervi]

Personal Log of Micky “Frosty” Caldwell September 14th Look I know I mentioned I could snipe and had some military training under my belt, but I’ve already been here six months as an engineering intern! Why am I a front line soldier now!? Thanks for letting me stay sniping at least, but what is this hiring policy?? Okay deep breaths, you got this girl. You got a kick ass squad to back you up and sharp enough aim to hit a bullseye at 20 yards. You’ll be fine. Don’t forget to grab something to eat for the flight over because the mission is in Europe and as fast as the Skyranger is that’s still not a short flight.

[@ToaDrakua]

Interceptor Pilot, Log #39 - Aren Locke So, a lot has happened over the few weeks. First off, Jube launched a memorial party for the fallen. It was nice, jovial, somber in the right moments; just a good way to both relax and honor the fallen. A lot of people came out of it feeling more refreshed than before. Second, another EXALT mission. They really do feel like a joke at this point, with the squad wiping them out with little to no effort. Third, and the most exciting part, another UFO; a large scout class. This gave us the chance to field test the fire-storm, equipped with the EMP cannons. And what a blast it was, flying that baby! With Claudia's help in the co-pilot seat, we were able to dance around that SOB, while our gunner managed to get line of sight and shoot it down. And it barely got a scratch on us, the moments it actually manage to hit! Demon is definitely a good term for these ships. Hope Stephen and his team (Both of whom are proper pilots, to his relief) will have the chance fly around with their own demon. Despite his grumbles about not fighting on the ground, I do believe there some part of him that enjoys flying. And thanks to the EMP cannons, the ground team managed to gather more material this time; the trade-off being they had to fight more aliens than they would normally. They managed, however, and several of them managed to get promotions from both missions. Now though, we got another council mission. Three captives being transferred near the Alps, all of whom likely have the same psionic potential as Annette. Same team being sent for the rescue mission; however, RAiD is taking the bench this time, with Micky being called up for ground deployment for the first time (I can already hear the complaints that'll come from Stephen). It's a council mission, so it'll be a coin flip on how easy it'll be. I just hope to see Frosty come out of there alive and kicking. Locke out.

[@0o0ification]

Airgame is on the rise! I won't say that I missed interception in XCOM2, but I did kinda miss interception in XCOM2, because I think UFO raids are the best mission type.

[@stevenwojtysiak6392]

Can't remember if Odd got the upgraded arc thrower and can't remember if it is allowed to take more than one on a mission, but once the power curve arrives, it seems like taking multiple arc throwers would be great for saving money on building weapons.

[@jerehelenius523]

he didn´t have enough drone wrecks since he liked to sell them a lot lol so now after that last mission he ha enough wrecks, but not money currently lol

[@Pexcer]

I think there is another council mission where you save a couple of Durand's friends and I think either one or both of them is guaranteed to have the gift, or higher chances, can't recall for sure.

[@Jcush21]

Logistics Tactical Officer "Ruby" Log 40. Date: September 13, 2015. It's hard to make these audio logs when nothing interesting is happening. So I think I'll keep this one nice and short. Two missions to cover today. One was an extraction for Ibrahim, who managed to narrow the location of EXALT HQ to just two African countries. She's back in the field again to find any more intel that could possibly make the location certain. They're running out of places to hide, and hopefully, we can shut them down in a hurry. We've actually been locating their cells before they could strike, which is a relief as well. After that, we had our first test flight of our Firestorm - the mark wasn't too big, a Large Scout - but preliminary rounds are promising. It hardly took a scratch from the plasma cannon shots and downed it with an EMP cannon that allowed the recovery team to secure some crucial components that would allow us to build more. There isn't too much more to say. Annette has shared more details - that she isn't the only captive. While she was the one EXALT managed to grab, it turns out, there are more. They're somewhere in France. As to what the aliens plan to do, I don't have a clue, but if they harbor similar Psionic capabilities, it's dangerous to leave them behind. Almost certain we're going to have to save them. Don't think there's too much more to cover. Things are slow, but I think I've been feeling better recently. Hopefully, that stays.

[@stephencrabtree3338]

Log entry 11 Name:Stephen Crabtree Call sign: "the kid" Assignment: intercepter pilot Craft: demon-1 Got a gift from Ibrahim when I got cleared for duty. She managed to snag a new iPhone 6 for me. Gonna stash it away, I think it'll be a collectable thing one of these days. I'll have to get them a gift next time I get a few days leave. Being sent to a flight station in Europe, might have to make a stop in Ireland. Been on my bucket list for a while anyway and after having been shot down I might as well start working on it. Never know which flight might be your last. You know they say you can't fly if you're crazy, but I think if you can tell you're going crazy you must still be sane. Only a crazy person would want to fly in a war... Guess that makes us all just a little bit nuts. Oh well. Nothing to do but keep doing. Heard demon-2 took down a large scout, god speed soldiers.

[@jonpickens3965]

"Thirteen and a half minutes. Commander, you have exceeded our expectations." Re: Operatives: Real conservative with mine. I always look carefully for Exalt, and on certain maps Hunker once or more before moving at all (I feel pressure when I DON'T move). I try to close with the extraction squad before going after data on late missions. I look for positions with cover on two sides (at least one high side), moving slow and staying down. Prefer to make the final dash surrounded by a wide circle of friends, three or more on Overwatch. Often take rooftops if available. Been working. There's a "Max Payne" achievement for the operative taking out three Exalt, but I'm still looking that proposition over. Re: Exalt HQ: One more cell raid should pinpoint it for you. I'd suggest Han Solo's advice on your approach (Ep 4, Escape from the Death Star). Re: Oops: Wrote some comments for last episode and forgot to send them. They're there if you want to backtrack. Idle Speculation on Effects of Damage on Psionic Resistance: I'm thinking -5 per point damage, with a base resistance by creature type added to Will. Anyone got some real numbers or coding chops? Re SHIVs: Agree. You have players building stories on character advancement. SHIVs have none. Any RP would be character-based internal monologue or external dialog/reactions, and that's a limited venue. I suppose it could be extended by giving the SHIV processor enough plot armor to always be recovered, with in-house rebuilds as tech improves. The play discipline is to destroy/dismantle and early version before introducing the upgrade. Re: SHIV-spot Seven: Don't care, wouldn't mind. Only noting that it's a bad idea only if not balanced by other mods. I'd thumb through the mods that increase pod size, number, and/or beefiness before implementing this. Some mods are just bad and should be avoided altogether ((rag moment: I'm looking at you, current passive sonar mod, mr. annoyance, you.)) Nice second mission. Looking forward to next.

[@Wolfeson28]

--- EW Season Scoreboard #7 --- Not a whole lot of movement on the scoreboard in this block of missions, as most of the top competitors have been getting a break. The exception, of course, is the Ironwoman (not to be confused with the...actual metal troopers) of the roster, Alicia "Watcher" Leigh, who continued to push her consecutive mission streak out to 28 in a row (for comparison, no other soldier has more than 20 *total* missions). She continues to reign supreme in Total Kills (79) and Total Damage (908), even if her per-mission stats are less overtly impressive. Ozzy "RAiD" Mellioria has set a new record with 11 consecutive missions unwounded (and counting), with his only wound in 14 total missions coming back on episode 20, courtesy of the glorified alien cell phone currently sitting in the lab. Will "Collux" Penton also tied the mark for most missions before his first wound with 6, while getting through 9 of his 10 missions unscathed. The sole blemish on his record thus far came from an unfortunate mind controlled overwatch by Alexa "Tigress" Durant. Finally, Sammy "Goaltender" Arnold has made good use of his initial series of missions, quickly jumping up to 4th on DPM at 37.00, while also currently holding the Unsung award with 20.56 Damage per Kill. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NC8Tt2uOBY6nadgMeyNPVkzpLivjmAlBhYKLjDZXvyE/edit?usp=sharing

[@OnlineKenji]

I know it’s because you’re trying to level up lower level characters, but Watcher is so underutilized. My assaults are almost always the top killers on my squad with snipers right next to them. But, I tend to push far more aggressively (read: recklessly 😂), but that is how I keep it interesting in the mid to late game, after I’m all powered up.

[@fleetadmiralj]

To answer Leigh's KPM question, looking on Wolfeson's spreadsheet (since he calculates this outright), through part 38, Leigh is actually still 6th on the KPM rankings at 2.47, behind Laitinen (duh), Stargazer, Zhang, Blackbird, and Cinnamon (!). Even some of your new faves like Collux do not have the KPM that Leigh has (he's not even top 10 actually). And since you have been taking her out and not Jube, she has actually retaken the kills and damage leads over from Laitinen overall as well. Wolfeson may be able to speak more on how much her KPM has gone up or down recently.

[@ChristopherOdd]

Yea she's usually getting finishing shots, whereas someone like Collux is probably doing well in DMG/shot if I had to guess.

[@paulkt2390]

Hello loving watching the series, this game got me hooked on turned based strat games, am at part 32 so far, with the mods installed can you retake a lost continent at all?

[@wjwoodget01]

Date: 14th September 2015 11:00 Name: Will 'Collux' Penton Rank: Support Captain/Major Subject Log: A bit late, but a promotion! The first mission was to combat Exalt where we brought Squirrel back to base. Unfortunately there was nothing of note there but we did narrow down our search locations for their headquarters. The second was a few days later to fight off or capture the survivors of a UFO that was taken down by one of our Firestorm fighter craft. One of those Heavy Floaters used some sort of super speed, but it seemed to only be able to use it once and to ill effect too. I was able to do enough to be promoted, which is a big boon to the squad. The quartermaster gave me a new set of trousers that had deeper pockets which meant I could fit an extra of each thing I can bring along to a mission, like med kits or grenades, which is excellent! Of on a council mission now, to help Lt. Annette Durand and locate the other captives. I wonder if they have the same gift as her… Anyway, I’ve got more to pack into my pockets now so I’m going to go grab that before I board the Skyranger.

[@spiritsoldier4475]

Again, Commander, there's very little point in promoting your soldiers to Colonel if they're rarely being used. You've worked to promote those soldiers to the highest rank, be more willing to utilize them more often late game. Not saying you shouldn't send out the squaddies and lieutenant. But you can rotate your Colonels around in missions so they can, as you put it, babysit the lower ranks.

[@chrisb2942]

I understand now why you queue back the Rocket Launcher. It would totally break the run because it would be way too easy with it. You rather go with a non crucial update for your shot guns. Well played, Commander!

Thanks for the upload =] Double tap huh? Nice (lol) I've really enjoyed this run a lot =] This game has that intangible feeling of having a much more "classic" feel, from the enemy skins (particularly floaters and mutons), to all the weapons, game mechanics like UFO hunting, even though X-COM 2 really improved the formula, I've always thought there's so much in this game that X-COM 2 failed to capture when they made the sequel ... I feel like we're gonna end this game fairly soon now. I wonder what mods you're gonna use in X-COM 2 ... ? (lol)

I don't understand how you kept seeing enemies inside the UFO when they should have been out of vision from any unit in your squad including Leigh.

Why does that Intel scan show you two places that have already been ruled out? Is it because you need to collect more Intel to rule out the last of the two remaining?

[@jonpickens3965]

Scans show activity (raid targets). Cells don't stop just because X-Com has lost funding.

[@CyberScapeRides]

Just an FYI, you have no ships in North America.

[@LackOfHarmony]

I know you said you focus on killing every enemy in vision on your turn, but it feels like you’re getting to the point where that isn’t possible without more upgrades to weapons or mech/genemodded units. It might be better to focus on positioning and mitigating damage? Especially with that awful door bug. That almost turned out awful. 😰

[@nathanielt1984]

[@theguyfromsaturn]

Bad choice on the PSI panic though. I find it kind of lame. It can often backfire as you may be giving a extra shot to an enemy. Sure, they might shoot at their guys, but in my experience they always shoot (and hit) my guys, instead of hunkering down or anything else they theoretically could do. Inspiration is a non-threatening way to easily gain experience for your operative until they get to the nice last level.

Nuanced disagreement. Not bad--rather, a more challenging choice. More challenging is often more entertaining for us. PSI Inspiration is a cheap route up--spam it four times and you're in. What fun is that? (Expedient and lazy, thinks I.) Either power can be used to demonstrate mastery. PSI panic is a showman's choice.

"i need floater and cyberdisc corpses" precedes to grenade everything 😅

[@bitemytail]

Corpses aren't destroyed by explosives. Only the weapon fragments are.

[@Myomer104]

Grenade kills still provide bodies in vanilla. It's just the weapons that are destroyed.

I'm not one to do this, but it's my first opportunity and I'm taking it: *FIRST* Also, praying you don't get the same horrible bug I got when doing my playthrough last week. The doors were bugged out in the final mission and I was softlocked into the game halting my progress at 99%

You loved every second of it. ADMIT IT (lmao)

[@munktayl0rd]

@@shyguy778 felt nice, ngl 😆 the comment, not being softlocked at 99% with my last save 3 hours ago 💀
