Let's play Incubation - Battle Isle Phase 4 (Completed)

[spekkio]

First kill, I'm totally goin' to rock'n'roll all nite.

Damn, it seems he wasn't lying...

 

[PrzeSzkoda]

Get me the advanced combat gun. You can't do no shit with that crappy light pewter pistol.

EDIT

I actually rock'n'rolled two nights in a row. Working on my combat stamina.

 

[spekkio]

I think it's time to commend Bluebottle, our 1st resurrected hero & MVP of this mission:

Our next mission allows for some C&Cs

We can deploy 5 units + Harvey, so somebody will have to take a day off once more.

It's our first mission when we can use a Combot. But, to be honest - should we?

This fucker has great range, due to his height we can see every enemy unit in this level

ATM we have:

• 5 S'Cs
• 7 R'Ts
• 4 Entry Points (Ducts)

Combot Weapon is very powerful, it can kill S'C or 2-3 R'Ts in one shot.
Of course Combot is a goddamn robot, so it won't level up - every alien killed by Combot = experience loss for the team.

So, how should I use Combot in this mission?

• Don't use it at all - not recommended. S'Cs will probably try to take Combot out first. Combot destroyed = mission failed.
• Use it only to take out S'Cs. Recommended (wise).
• Use it as regular unit (kill anything). Not recommended - exp loss for the team.

To sum things up, you have to decide on three things:

1. What should I buy for you?
2. Who do you think should take a day off this time (Recommended: lightbane or Bluebottle)
3. How should Combot be used (a/b/c)?

Sergeant Bratt out.

 

[lightbane]

Isn't it obvious? Bring me one Servo system immediately please. I vote Bluebottle to take a day off, he's stealing too much kills. About the combot (wasn't there a less lame name?), I vote option a except when the robot is in real danger.

PS: And who's the dumbuck that assigns these unpronounceable names anyways?

 

[Krraloth]

Don't buy me anything...yet.
I vote for b) the less the tin can kills the moar xp we get.

I want the medic to rest a bit, he's switching the morphine with the steroids...too tired.

 

[Bluebottle]

Servo system please.

I can take the leave. Getting killed is surprisingly tiring, so some R'n'R wouldn't go amiss.
There's still hookers on this shitty rock, right?

b) Sounds like a good bet for the CB. How much damage can he take, though? If he can soak up a fair bit, starting out a) might be worthwhile, and then switching to b) if it gets hairy.

 

[spekkio]

1x Servo System for Bluebottle bought:

We're waitnig for Pussy & PrzeSzkoda (as usual).

 

[Kiree]

Wait a minute, how did Bluebottle go from 2 to 0 SPs from buying servo? The screen shows a cost of 1.

 

[spekkio]

So, somebody is actually reading this?

Fixd now, thx Kiree (loaded a save before commending Bluebottle).

Bluebottle can still buy:

Unit Menu:

 

[Pussycat669]

What use is a heavy mech if you don't use the firepower? I say give 'em hell! (although you should probably use it primary to cover the demolitionman. Watch the friendly fire though)

No shopping for me. I'll save it for the servo system.

 

[spekkio]

But earlier

I actually rock'n'rolled two nights in a row. Working on my combat stamina.

So I think we can safely assume, that sth like that happened:

What can I say...?

About teh choices: what a bunch of indecisive meatbags you are!

1) Shopping:

• Bluebottle: 1x Servo System,
• Pussycat669: nothing
• PrzeSzkoda: nothing
• Krraloth: nothing
• lightbane: 1x Servo System

Unit Menu before Mission 11:

2) Bluebottle is taking his day off (mutated local whores await).

3) a), switched to b) if Combot is in danger.

b) Sounds like a good bet for the CB. How much damage can he take, though?

CB is 15/15 HP but is also equipped with strong armor, as you can see on screenshots.

Proceeding with Mission 11

 

[PrzeSzkoda]

Hey, partying and rock'n'rollin' is serioze bizniz. BTW. if I'd be late with my shopping, try to set up my dude so that you can get him the double-barreled gun in the future - or a sniper rifle, if you think the squad could use another one. Right now I guess it'd be ACG + armor, if skill points and ECs allow.

 

[Bluebottle]

(mutated local whores await).

"Baby, you make me wish I had three hands."

Next mission teaser:

We can deploy 5 units here, so I think it's time for lightbane to test local entertainment industry services.

What should I buy for you?

PROTIP: Somebody should buy a Mine Thrower.

 

[Krraloth]

One rapid fire machine gun please.

Also I don't like gangraping Commander.

 

[spekkio]

One rapid fire machine gun please.

1x RFMG for Krraloth bought. 310 EPs left.

You can still buy some stuff:

Also I don't like gangraping Commander.

You can buy Heavy Armor, but this will take you back to 3 APs.

Anyway, just look at this happy nigga now:

 

[lightbane]

We can deploy 5 units here, so I think it's time for lightbane to test local entertainment industry services.

HA! I'm in a mission for the Emperor, there is no time for things such as entertainment... Unless it's free Now seriously, I'll decide what to buy after the next mission.

 

[spekkio]

I'll decide what to buy after the next mission.

Your call, but ATM you're next in shopping line. After the next mission you'll be the last one (as Bluebottle is now).

 

[lightbane]

Just to know: There will be new stuff to buy after next mission?

 

[Krraloth]

You can buy Heavy Armor, but this will take you back to 3 APs.

Mh...I'm not sure...losing an AP when my 2nd fire mode is costly isn't nice.

 

[Pussycat669]

Hm, servo or minigun? Screw this! I'll take the gun.

 

[Bluebottle]

Not much I want that I can afford, right now. Save the points and I'll spend them when I've got enough for something decent.

 

[spekkio]

Just to know: There will be new stuff to buy after next mission?

If you mean new equipment then I don't think so. We've just got 6 new items after capturing the fort. But the shop should be available for sure.

Hm, servo or minigun? Screw this! I'll take the gun.

And all this time I was certain that you're going after the mine thrower a.k.a. the best weapon in teh game.
Without it we're gonna get raped soon.

Anyway: 1x RFMG for Pussycat669 bought. 300 EPs left.

lightbane can still buy sth if he wants, PrzeSzkoda is late as always (he was damn lucky to survive all the missions in the past without an armor )

 

[Pussycat669]

And all this time I was certain that you're going after the mine thrower a.k.a. the best weapon in teh game.
Without it we're gonna get raped soon.

Don't worry too much. Just let the mech keep firing at all times and we should be fine. I'll switch later when the need arises eventually.
