Dear diary,

Once more I belive the Emperor has a sick sense of humour. Not only in my first mission I was shot shortly after leaving the transport, for some reason I was carrying just a laspistol and a stunbaton to capture some xenos alive. Why I cannot have grenades, or gas grenades for this fact? I saw one of the xenos using a sort of stunpistol, I think it would be more wise to use the same weapon against the enemy to use cannon fodder (specially if it's me!).

But that wasn't the worst: In my second mission, recently given the rights to have some type of armor better than that cheap flak jacket copy, I'm shot again right after leaving the transport, and the aliens seemed to purposely make a mockery of welcoming comittee to make fun of me (and once more the lack of grenades)!!! Fortunately, somehow I managed to survive and live another day. I fear what can happen latter, I bet I'll be attacked by some sort of mind-controlling device and forced to kill my teammates, knowing my bad luck...

If memory does not fail me both the Ordo Hereticus the Ordo Xenos will want to have a word with you. You better make a run for Tau space, nya.

Actually, the Ordo Xenos is eager to use the same weapons against the enemy (at least the most Radical of the Inquisitors). Second, this diary was not suposed to be taken seriously (and the 1st line was taken from one of the books of Ciaphas Cain). Third, you're not the most adequate to speak, specially with your knowledge of "dubious stuff":wink: . And fourth, when will the next update be?

New replacement of fallen ones:
dosbox2010-02-1500-20-20-71.jpg

dosbox2010-02-1500-23-40-53.jpg

dosbox2010-02-1500-26-16-09.jpg

Not bad I guess.

dosbox2010-02-1500-27-36-92.jpg

Boredom awaits. Only few very small UFOs shows up, all are destroyed into pieces by Interceptors.

dosbox2010-02-1500-29-28-18.jpg

US fuckin A gets first Interceptor, one should be enough for now.

dosbox2010-02-1500-31-41-87.jpg

Small UFO goes HERP DERP to the ground.

dosbox2010-02-1500-34-12-03.jpg

Our beloved landing zone. I forgot to equip Troops with Electro-Flares...

dosbox2010-02-2020-05-48-18.jpg

Time to spread out. After throwing few flares around, nothing to see so far.

dosbox2010-02-2020-05-54-89.jpg

Satori tried to throw Electro-Flare inside the UFO and failed. Hm it looks like we probably won't have many survivors.

dosbox2010-02-2020-06-14-79.jpg

Alien turns. taplonaplo is dead after one sneaky shot from west-south. :salute:

dosbox2010-02-2020-06-25-95.jpg

Luzur is under fire from west and drops monocle before falling on ground dead. :salute:

dosbox2010-02-2020-07-31-68.jpg

Satori Our turn and time for payback! spiekko kills Luzur murder, and finds out location of another Snakeman.

dosbox2010-02-2020-11-46-12.jpg

Big Nose George hits Snakeman with his fine Aimed Shot, yet he is still alive. Lazor Tank aim failed all the time.

dosbox2010-02-2020-12-22-31.jpg

Krraloth spots another one and his rocker misses in horrible way. Damn! Since he is standing in the same place as Luzur, there is possibility of another dead on our side.

dosbox2010-02-2020-14-21-73.jpg

Satori gets his grenade ready, but currently there is no way we could throw it somewhere around that Alien scum.

dosbox2010-02-2020-14-35-20.jpg

Aliens turn. Krraloth survives, since all shots missed him.

dosbox2010-02-2020-18-56-12.jpg

spiekko took down this ugly motherfucker.

dosbox2010-02-2020-19-50-31.jpg

Big Nose George switch his HE ammo for Incendiary.

dosbox2010-02-2222-53-00-14.jpg

Lazor Tank move south, to find out if we have another Snakemen around landing zone.

dosbox2010-02-2222-55-35-39.jpg

Satori throws a Grenade inside UFO and moves forward. Silellak and Overweight Manatee stay in Skyranger for now.

dosbox2010-02-2222-57-36-60.jpg

Aliens turn. Lazor Tank gets destroyed by Snakeman, fuck. Satori Grenade exploded but it seems UFO is empty.

dosbox2010-02-2223-03-23-46.jpg

Krraloth get hit but managed to survive.

dosbox2010-02-2223-03-26-57.jpg

Overweight Manatee snipes down Snakemen. :salute:

dosbox2010-02-2223-03-40-78.jpg

You will live soldier!

dosbox2010-02-2223-04-05-93.jpg

Satori assaults the UFO :salute: and shots three times....

dosbox2010-02-2223-04-16-14.jpg

...one shot only missed yet still Snakeman is alive and responded with one, shot. As you can see Satori still alive, but with three fatal wounds. Since retreating would mean obvious plasma in the back, last single shot by Satori sadly missed Alien. Your dead meat pal.

dosbox2010-02-2223-05-24-34.jpg

Or there is still hope? Big Nose George throws a Grenade behind Snakemen. Will it save Satori or kill him as well?

dosbox2010-02-2223-06-14-21.jpg

spiekko throws carefully flares around.

dosbox2010-02-2223-06-58-98.jpg

Aliens turn. So you wonder what happen to Squaddie Satori? To make it short: Grenade blast killed the Snakemen and also saved Satori life :smug: nice throw Big Nose George!

dosbox2010-02-2223-24-21-59.jpg

We travel around for some time looking for last bastard. spiekko scouted the north part of Farmland. Satori, Krraloth and Overweight Manatee head for the stable.

dosbox2010-02-2223-25-09-46.jpg

Satori makes a hole in the first floor of stable, so Krraloth could shot missile inside.

dosbox2010-02-2223-25-38-28.jpg

Well it didn't work out as I wanted, yet we got nice light source.

dosbox2010-02-2223-26-20-82.jpg

Thanks to the fire, Overweight Manatee spots last Snakemen and snipes him down :salute:

dosbox2010-02-2223-26-38-89.jpg

10th Apr is the day when taplonaplo and Luzur died like heroes, fighting Alien menace. Nevar forget! :salute:

dosbox2010-02-2223-28-12-53.jpg

dosbox2010-02-2223-28-04-43.jpg

After returning to base time to check how long will take our boys return to duty. Not bad, you will be ready soon enough with the rest, and yes, including you SV.

dosbox2010-02-2223-44-17-79.jpg

Few days later we spot small UFO but we lost track of it later on. Also new Lazor Tank is ready to kick ass.

dosbox2010-02-2223-48-04-54.jpg

dosbox2010-02-2223-47-28-31.jpg

New recruits!

dosbox2010-02-2223-49-25-78.jpg

Current Skyranger-1 crew and rest of Codexia soldiers waiting for their turn.

dosbox2010-02-2223-52-17-51.jpg

Small UFO visits US fuckin A we pursuit i to Asia when...

dosbox2010-02-2223-52-44-93.jpg

dosbox2010-02-2223-52-57-01.jpg

How many they got of them?! Interceptor-3 is following Battleship just in case.

dosbox2010-02-2223-53-18-92.jpg

Meanwhile, Interceptor-2 find and shoot down the small UFO from US fuckin A.

dosbox2010-02-2223-54-55-95.jpg

Will be it day or night, next update shows which should show up tomorrow.

Move out squad! Lazor Tank goes west, when Big Nose George, Krraloth and lightbane go towards Small UFO. SV stays by ship just in case.

dosbox2010-02-2300-52-48-96.jpg

During Alien turn, Lazor Tank was hit by Stunbomb :smug: time to pay back.

dosbox2010-02-2300-55-04-84.jpg

So far there is no other Snakemen activity, but keep your fingers on triggers, soldiers! you never know what could happen...

dosbox2010-02-2300-55-19-18.jpg

Lazor Tank was taken down during Alien turn, damn.

dosbox2010-02-2300-56-40-90.jpg

spiekko and Overweight Manatee go south, track down Tank killa. Our dear German friend, Der Judenjager will provide cover.

dosbox2010-02-2301-00-21-82.jpg

We spot another Snakemen. spiekko shoots him once, yet Overweight Manatee scores kill.

dosbox2010-02-2300-58-54-43.jpg

We are inside, so far so good, no welcoming committee. Big Nose George is in south corner. Der Judenjager will join them soon, and Silellak provide extra gun for Overweight Manatee & spiekko.

dosbox2010-02-2301-05-04-60.jpg

During Alien turn, Der Judenjager is hit and got one nasty Fatal Wound.

dosbox2010-02-2301-06-09-45.jpg

dosbox2010-02-2301-12-56-95.jpg

:tearofangel: SV makes a beautiful rocket shot, wiping Snakeman from earth :salute:

dosbox2010-02-2301-02-11-10.jpg

Cautiously, Big Nose George& ligthbane get ready for room assault in next turn. Krraloth will stay in north corner, kill any Snakemen who dare use doors.

dosbox2010-02-2301-07-27-21.jpg

Nothing happened during Aliens turn. Yet lightbane catch & stunt Snakemen who was planing enter this small room. Nice! time to retreat to corner. spiekko and Overwieght Manatee stay in place.

dosbox2010-02-2301-09-19-45.jpg

SV heals up Der Judenjager arm.

dosbox2010-02-2301-08-32-53.jpg

spiekko & Overweight Manatee spot some Snakemen on hill. Both of them have few nice shoots, yet the Snakemen still stands alive. Silellak have to take care of that. :salute:

dosbox2010-02-2301-10-12-12.jpg

Alien turn. Krraloth fire reacts Snakemen, yet the bloody bastard survived and retreated to previous room.

dosbox2010-02-2301-10-39-07.jpg

Let's see what kind of trophy lightbane catch.

dosbox2010-02-2301-12-07-57.jpg

spiekko spots Snakemen, and shots him once. The Snakemen respond was a plasma bolt, that killed spiekko :( :salute: Overweight Manatee avenged him.

dosbox2010-02-2301-13-07-39.jpg

Aliens turn. Krraloth didn't fire react on time and this mistake cost him life :salute:

dosbox2010-02-2301-13-34-39.jpg

lightbane tried to take that bastard by surprise, yet Snakemen kill him also... :salute: Yet Big Nose George manage to kill him.

dosbox2010-02-2301-14-48-12.jpg

Next turn, Big Nose George enters UFO Powers Source and with cold blood, burst shit loads of laser shoots into Snakemen back.

dosbox2010-02-2301-15-03-89.jpg

Things gone bad, our Laser Weapons are not effective enough against Snakemen. Which is bad, since Plasma Rifle research is going slowly. Let's hope the second live Snakemen is something else then soldier, and will boost our research. :salute: to fallen comrades.

dosbox2010-02-2301-15-50-14.jpg

You had pretty shitty performance on first mission, private Der Judenjager. Let's hope that next time you will have more luck.

dosbox2010-02-2321-23-06-78.jpg

Living Quarters are done in US fuckin A. New 15 troops is coming and we already got part of equipment.

dosbox2010-02-2321-24-19-20.jpg

Small UFO spotted! with last two missiles, we shot it down. In this mission we won't have Lazor Tank but 10 Soldiers, and most of them will be Rookies! Should be entertaining.

Wow, that was actually a bit of a slaughter right there at the end. Your laser tanks have no luck.

Silellak provide extra gun for Overweight Manatee & Silellak

Plasma rifle + plasma clip takes a total of 11,000 research days :cry:

Each engineer and soldier alien you capture about cut it in half though.

Hm we did catch Snakemen Soldier & Engineer in this mission, still Plasma Research is on poor level with 100 Scientist. And I'm using Xcomutil build 305, with fixed research bug.

Poor is gonna be a reaaaaaaaly large range with those massively increased research times. It won't turn to average until you have about 1,000 research days left (100 scientists * 10 days of research). You probably have at least 20 days until you get the plasma rifle, then you need another 4k days worth of research for the clip.

If you have the xcomutil thingy enabled where it reports after-combat information stuffies, it will tell you the number of hours subtracted from the research and the currently remaining hours.
