I forgot to announce the results of the armor poll:

A (everyone): 1
B (need only): 0
C (need first): 5
D (officers only): 11
E (officers first): 7
F (Yeesh first): 1

Officers only it is then, soldiers will have to make it at least to the rank of ensign before being allowed any armor. I may change the minimum rank to able seaman depending on how things go.

--------------------------------------

UPDATE 22 - Performance Evaluation

Last time, the Pacific team was getting ready to enter its very first mission.

IXlNn.png


The Triton landed very close to the alien sub. The team won't have to walk too far to assault, that's good because rookies have no stamina.

vtlGF.png


Proximity mines are thrown on the estimated position of the door. They work as well as usual.

2wKge.png


Desmodus Rotundus finds a shadow in the distance. Rookie are too weak to throw a pulser in the general area. Snipers don't have a line of fire thanks to the rock formations everywhere. Desmodus Rotundus doesn't survive the next alien turn.

RIP Desmodus Rotundus II :salute:, one less step could have save you.

1xpJE.png


Another alien is found moving around to the west.

tjBYc.png


Unkillable Cat gets ready to follow, but Juggernaut II stops him before he goes too far. The alien is waiting in ambush!

7YzML.png


Golgepapaz Iki has a clear line of fire to Desmodus's killer. However, he must have heard stories of eklektyk, for he chooses to shoot Azael Jr. in the back instead.

Dgwkw.png


Pulsers are thrown to the west and south, but so poorly that they land far from the aliens. Merk has to step up and throw one of his own. The first rookie pulser, as expected, doesn't do any damage to the alien.

VOwtx.png


Neither does the second one.

8WLfX.png


Merk's pulser kills the western alien.

gF8fH.png


And one miraculous good throw by Garfunkel takes care of the southern one.

AhzRW.png


Unkillable Cat explores the southwestern corner, and is ambushed by a gilman.

RIP Unkillable Cat II :salute:, seven more lives to go before heaven.

MZpuB.png


Azael Jr. decides that steps will now cost 6 TUs instead of 4, and ends up with too few to make it to safety.

pLrKP.png


A patrolling gilman doesn't have mercy on the aquanaut. Azael Jr. is shot down.
RIP Azael Jr. :salute:, your father would have been proud.

OqOu4.png


Garfunkel pursues the murderer, but falls prey to the same change of rules. He is short three TUs to attack, and can't even kneel in submission.

agBwK.png


Without a sign of surrender, the gilman doesn't hesitate and shoots the soldier down.

OTUgZ.png


Johannes finally ends this gilman's life.

eKhqu.png


He opens a door and finds another alien in the distance.

S19yv.png


Trash II is killed by Unkillable Cat II's killer while trying to approach from the southeast.

J6RGY.png


He was carrying a primed pulser ready to be thrown...
RIP Trash II :salute:, carrying a primed grenade will make it hard for cleanup to gather your corpse.

h9Bjj.png


Juggernaut finds the lone sniper, but can't get any support. He takes the risk, and shoots the alien at point blank range. He hits.

jn896.png


Schluberlubs was getting ready to get in the sub from the other entrance, when a sonic pistol shot ends his attack prematurely.

RIP Schluberlubs :salute:, may you find more glory in the world beyond.

5neUS.png


During the alien turn, a gilman opens the door to Johannes and promptly runs away. Johannes pursues, and finds a gilman waiting for him. Thankfully, the alien had exhausted his TUs, so he can't fire at our brave soldier.

QL2Gf.png


After killing the previous alien, Johannes continues his assault and finds the pistolier.

jbowH.png


A pulser is thrown to the far end of the sub. It kills the gilman... and Johannes.
RIP Johannes :salute:, kazgar's luck isn't for just anybody

This alien was the last, and the Pacific team's first mission ends.

hofRF.png


No end mission result screen this time. We killed seven gilmen, but lost as many soldiers in the process. It's a good thing the rookie's first mission wasn't against lobstermen, or they would have been slaughtered.

Still, some among the new showed decent skill, and go up the ranks.

ucODX.png


Reinforcements arrive soon after in Pacific-1. Some promising recruits there.

ybf5y.png


M.C. readers get available for use. It's an useful tool to identify priority targets for capture.

BXwyf.png


A Tasoth is interrogated. It doesn't have much to say, but still reveals some valuable information on M.C. chips. Research is started on a device to disrupt them.

1MamR.png


A small sub is found in Atlantic.

n9KZC.png


Just as Barracuda-1 is about to reach it, the interceptor runs out of fuel. The aliens get away this time.

T9fJV.png


Another small sub shows up soon after.

MpVaJ.png


No mercy for this one, it is shot down before it can get too far.

RV4Wo.png


The aliens decide to taunt us and come back towards our base from the south. Barracuda-1 is too far to intercept, so the aliens get away once again.

vuAYk.png


As it is coming back from the latest pursuit, a Barracuda spots a touched down sub at the bottom of the ocean.

XpPfN.png


Triton-1 is rerouted from the latest shot sub to this one, and arrives before the aliens finish their business.

m3Ru5.png


Gilmen. And in the same terrain the rookies had before. A perfect opportunity to compare soldier performance.

mZuut.png


aRyan demonstrates proper shooting, and kills the first foe.

dRvP1.png


The sub is found to the east. A small one, but completely intact.

MnFSB.png


Gilmen move around during their turn, but are too tired to shoot.

YoQxd.png


Banelion ends the threat before it can recover.

CRpbQ.png


Vlad the Impaler is killed by a hidden gilman.
RIP Vlad the Impaler :salute:, you were so eager to use that drill of yours, but in the end didn't have any opportunity to do so.

WCByc.png


The shooter is found swiftly, and justice is delivered by eklektyk in his favorite form.

WKOqq.png


Another alien is found to the east. Alexandro's recent promotion has earned him a suit of Ion Armor, so he feels quite safe.

LrFDF.png


He still asks for a grenade, and is thrown one that he relays right behind the gilman's feet.

laenY.png


Proximity Mines perform admirably well.

X9wTH.png


Alexandros gets cocky and charges the sub alone. He ends up face to face with two aliens, and only enough TUs to attack once. The Vibro Blade strike isn't enough to kill the gilman in front of him, better hope that armor is as good as scientists claim it is.

CXYnV.png


Instead of shooting down the easy target in front of them, the aliens run away! Alexandros pursues and kills the first one.

G0KUL.png


As he enters the northern room, he is shot on the side, the armor's weak point. He escapes unharmed, turns and kills the last alien of the mission.

rfxQt.png


A very similar mission to the previous one, but with much, much better results.

EHzjs.png


Pelvis Knot is rewarded for his efforts, even though soldiers can't help but wonder what exactly he did apart from going berserk in the Pacific team mission.

Good to see that rookies perform... adequately. I was lucky not to be a part of that slaughter too.

Vlad the Impaler is killed by a hidden gilman. :salute:
RIP Vlad the Impaler , you were so eager to use that drill of yours, but in the end didn't have any opportunity to do so.

Bloodlust has its downsides I suppose. :salute:

Oh well, please use the DNA sample to clone Vlad.

About 8 meters beneath sea level.
I knew at least one of my incarnations would turn into a fine red mist. Seeing the stats on the new Trash makes me wonder if someone added some chlorine to the DNA samples...

Oh well, more fish food for the fish god!

You guys are lucky to have me on your team, I'm exploding aliens left and right in true Hawke style :D

Boy, that promotion came at just the right time. Without the armor I would have been toast.
