Vapourware Let's abandon Xenonauts on page 5

[Ulminati]

Trannies and Gentlemen, I give you:

It's that time of year again. Xenonauts has been out for a while. Codex still doesn't have a finished LP. This will not stand.

To keep loading time on the pages from being too obnoxious, I'll spoiler tag the individual updates.

What's this then?
The spiritual successor to UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-COM: UFO Defense if you're a fag). It's released and available from all your favourite digital distributors. We'll be playing the "Community Edition", which is a semi-official balance/tweaks/bugfixes mod. We'll also be using Skitzos map packs to reduce the # of repeating maps for crash sites.

Following mods/maps are in use:
Community Edition (enabled from the betas tab in steam)
alien base maps: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/12794-Skitso-s-Alien-Base-Booster-Pack
crash/terror site maps: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/...V1-09-Skitso-s-Ultimate-Megamix-Map-Pack-2000
gfx upgrades: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/...-s-improved-tile-art-pack?p=137239#post137239
soldier roles in minibars: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/11243-X-CE-0-24-Soldier-roles-in-minibars



What are you playing?
Veteran difficulty. Ironman. Codexian recruits. If I run out of volunteers, we'll clone the bodies of the deceased.

Will you show us everything?
Recruits, research, first encounter with new races and UFOs. generally interesting missions. I'll probably skip describing some of the ground missions if nothing exciting happens and just summarize.

Will you abandon this LP like you did with everything except wesnoth, blood bowl, your last Xenonauts LP, your first Kerbal LP and that blobber thing?
Probably. I've a track record of doing just that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edngame conditions will be if we run out of funding nations (obviously), I fuck everything up so back the game is deemed irrecoverable or KSP 1.0/Underrail get released and I become utterly distracted.

First update once I have enough recruits to fill a transport helicopter. Also taking suggestions for what to name the transport helicopter and our first base.

 

[Scroo]

Ich melde mich zum Dienst

 

[Zdzisiu]

I want to be a Dragon!

 

[Darth Roxor]

Roxorowski reporting for duty as a true guardsman hobo with a shotgun

 

[4249]

My forum handle should be generic enough for your typical redshirt/meat shield.

 

[MicoSelva]

Yeah, sign me up.

 

[Azira]

I'll be a murderdane for you.

 

[profreshinal]

Ready to die in friendly fire, sir!

 

[JagreenLern]

I'll sign up.

 

[BrotherFrank]

You know that one moron who goes berzerk and kills 2 of his fellow soldiers when there is an alien right in front of him?

I want to be that guy! Sign me up!

 

[lightbane]

Meh, why the hell not? Sign me up as a heavy weapons guy/tranny or, failing that, a kamikaze meatshield shock trooper with a shield.

 

[Dayyālu]

Well, we cannot refuse the call. Your humble servant reporting for duty, sir!

Gimme grenades and I'll give you dead aliens. Hopefully.

 

[Kalin]

Signing up for alien ITZ-enrichment!

(Just like in real life)

 

[Andnjord]

Sign me up for my eventual mindcontrol/enrichment by probing/plasma liquefaction!

 

[SerratedBiz]

I, for one, welcome our soon to be abandoned LP overlords. Sign me up for jolly cooperation.

 

[Baron Dupek]

I want to give everyone hug and warm buckshots including my own mates.

I want to see if game changed some after my last playthrough.

 

[abnaxus]

More like abandon on page 1.

 

[Gondolin]

I'm in.

 

[Jaedar]

Give me a rocket launcher please. Rocketers get to save games, kill allies, and commit suicide. What more career opportunities could one want?


Or just whatever if you're not using rockets

 

[Cassidy]

Not too late, I hope.

I'd rather a Predator assault armor and a big, really big Gauss gun... barring that then die firing a machinegun to the last round.



*Edit: was thinking about starting a Xenonauts LP now that CE 0.32 was released, but too late I guess.

 

[Ulminati]

I'm currently stuck in the FLGS. But there will be an update before I go to sleep tonight. Will stream on steam when I get home.

 

[Aeschylus]

It is a good day to be melted by plasma. I volunteer!

 

[Undead Phoenix]

Oy, shitcunt, 10 KKK that you get TPK'd first terror mission




Running like weak euro counts also.

 

[Ulminati]

*Edit: was thinking about starting a Xenonauts LP now that CE 0.32 was released, but too late I guess.

There's room for multiple Xnaut LPs in this playground. I volunteer to be your shotgun murderdude

 

[Quilty]

Reporting for duty, commander!
