Merely a typo, nothing to be afraid of. Merk is still our resident sniper :salute:

Ripper has been demoted to commander?
You mean promoted ? Commander is the highest rank in X-Com hierarchy.

As silly as it sounds, the esteemed Korenzel is right. Given that this rank is senior to Colonel, it should be one of the General ranks, but instead Microprose opted for "Commander". Fear not, sir Root! Ripper is now the biggest fish in the X-COM pond. Too bad the aliens have a fishing rod :smug:

UPDATE 17

VWgpr.jpg

J22yx.jpg

KeJeN.jpg


Three rookies take up new callsigns.

ujcFh.jpg

YRgw1.jpg


Team Potato cautiously prepares to land near the Very Large UFO.

Ox8Ri.jpg


They are led by Captain Spider.

VeULR.jpg


Gondolin discovers a hostile on his camera feed.

oPjvy.jpg


He also spots an alien hover-disc. And the massively huge UFO.

0WNGV.jpg


Golgepapaz spots another Sectoid.

6y656.jpg


He takes care of the gray alien.

apPoo.jpg


And of the one spotted by Gondolin.

KG8VQ.jpg


After eklektyk soften up the alien hovertank, Merk finished it off.

FVTml.jpg


Then it went boom.

QpZOF.jpg


A Sectoid decided to investigate the hover-disc's fate.

cJEiw.jpg


Roxorowicz showed it the folly of the idea.

1tG3S.jpg


RK47 spots...

WISI5.jpg


...and kills another gray.

CAP1q.jpg


Gondolin's camera feed reveals another hovertank.

Boogh.jpg


Jaedar Mk3 gives it a taste of his rocket launcher. It promptly goes boom.

9GjGS.jpg


One more Sectoid spotted. It's a difficult shot...

7G9cp.jpg


...but Merk makes it!

W86k8.jpg


There's no end to them!

uOsBE.jpg


Well, there is. It's called a Laser Rifle :smug:

9fQPD.jpg


Merk spots...

BmdAN.jpg


...and golgepapaz wrecks an alien cyber-hover-disc.

8UOOs.jpg

86aPv.jpg


The Alien Leaders begin their work. Golgepapaz panics and Merk begins shooting in a frenzy!

xbj7j.jpg


The Aliens take control of Merk! He shoots golgepapaz, who becomes unconscious!

D3siG.jpg


Toastboy spots a Sectoid trying to sneak up on our tank.

xCieQ.jpg


The idea doesn't end well for the gray alien.

xbj7j.jpg


Sergiu65 stuns a mind-controlled Merk.

6hpHx.jpg


Sergiu65 manages to revive Merk, but the fumes from the cyber-disc's explosion make him pass out again.

2H5mN.jpg


Sergiu65 panics at the sight of this.

D75dQ.jpg


The aliens take control of Sergiu65!

OI92j.jpg


Roxorowicz stuns him.

VToqX.jpg


Another Sectoid tried to sneak up on the tank.

HVgP7.jpg


Gondolin brought the turret-mounted cannon to bear and killed the gray creature.

1ybrT.jpg


Eklektyk spots one more hostile.

FWtGr.jpg


He disposes of it. It appeared to be holding a very large weapon.

vLCVH.jpg


RK47 spotted yet another one...

fLDfQ.jpg


...and promptly shot it.

Qwgww.jpg


Golgepapaz panics!

Y4zLx.jpg


Mistaking the panic for alien control, RK47 goes berserk and shoots the Sargeant! RIP Golgepapaz :salute:

teOE8.jpg


As Gondolin steers his tank into the UFO, his camera feed reveals two hostiles in the darkness on the upper floor. He retreats.

kpMRz.jpg

oBcgO.jpg


The Aliens panic Merk and RK47!

90woV.jpg


An unarmed alien is found standing right in front of Gondolin's tank. How convenient.

7GUif.jpg


After killing it, Gondolin again scouts the UFO's interior a bit.

9BaI3.jpg


Roxorowicz drops his heavy weapon in favor of equipment better suited to storming UFOs.

ZInZM.jpg


The aliens panic RK47 into dropping his weapons. Thank the God-Emperor for small favors!

jmFWe.jpg


They also manage to take control of Merk, but he's harmless. After his last failure to resist their mind rape attempts he picked up only a stun rod.

LRFGb.jpg


JoKa sees a sinister shadow on the UFO's uppermost floor.

J1jBT.jpg


And the Sectoid is no more!

Y6t2n.jpg


Hello there, little guy.

FVsjD.jpg


Good bye, little guy. The situation could have been more perfect for eklektyk only if he could shoot the Sectoid to the back of it's head.

0LUxq.jpg


Merk comes to his panicked senses.

3Bxly.jpg


Roxorowicz spots...

oeBFO.jpg


...and kills a Sectoid.

5hinn.jpg


Merk is under alien control again.

l9VYP.jpg


Eklektyk spots a Sectoid armed with a massive weapon.

xIq8J.jpg


He kills it. 'It's the only way to be sure.'

JkgeD.jpg


Toastboy spots two more aliens. One is unarmed...

iwwuL.jpg


...and the other is now dead.

xGWKx.jpg


Next, toastboy spots and kills...

g3gPN.jpg


...two unarmed Sectoids!

tjfv5.jpg

Eo2rJ.jpg


The mental attacks against Merk and Sergiu65 suddenly cease.

F0Sxg.jpg


It is clear where the final alien is hiding. And since it didn't come out yet, it must be a cyber-disc...

yYIXK.jpg


Sergiu65 bravely volunteers to flush the alien machine out. He approaches the door with a satchel of high explosives in each hand...

T0TPJ.jpg


It is a cyber-disc. The alien machine dispatches Sergiu65 as he is about to throw the high explosive packs at it. RIP Sergiu65 :salute:

CZMXI.jpg


The explosives take out the alien hovertank, ending the mission.

t0Yp2.jpg


Merk is promoted to replace the fallen goglepapaz. Congratulations Merk :salute:

eYXWv.jpg


Another of EurCOM's soldiers takes up a callsign.

FvFSo.jpg


Roxorowicz is granted his promised armour. But we're pretty well off after that Very Large UFO mission. Maybe we'll start mass-producing sets of the armour?

9BrnM.jpg


Out of all the countries on the Council of Founding Nations, NIGERIA decided to back the aliens. Well, good riddance!

XtNhK.jpg


An alien base, eh? We shall have to destroy this installation as fast as possible!

fzQGo.jpg


Despite Nigeria's treachery, our funding skyrockets!
Also, did you notice? No end of the month terror attack :troll:

fKwoG.jpg

KXLca.jpg

Jrbss.jpg


Bee intercepts the UFO.

pqgsJ.jpg


Since PotatoCOM handled the Very Large UFO astheir second mission in a row, KwaCOM will now be taking care of land missions for a while, even if it means going to Syberian tundra and taiga!

Most definitely you should do this. Even if not mass-production, then at the very least personal sets for the high-ranking officers - we must do everything to preserve their combat skills and experience, I guess.

Also, why, unlike with the Korenzel's LP, there are no newspapers here? Are your shopping skills rusty or what, people? May I remind you that sloth is a mortal sin?

Shooting down my comrades in arms for a promotion, excellent.
:lol:

Btw, how many of the grey bastards are unarmed? That's truly incredible. Did you see any arms thrown by? Is it normal in X-COM?

I think four Sectoids were unarmed, which would confirm UFOpaedia's data: a Superhuman difficulty Battleship should contain 1 Commander and 3 Leaders. And yes, I've seen some Heavy Plasma's lying around on the uppermost floor.

The funny thing is, I only noticed that psionic aliens drop their weapons after Korenzel pointed out such behaviour in his TFTD LP. Never noticed it during any of my earlier playthroughs.

And the Floaters went boom!

fkUZb.jpg


Some well deserved promotions. Congratulations Hellraiser, Slips and toastboy :salute:

uMyAC.jpg


This is the Nigerian Alien Base.

rj2U3.jpg

VLA9v.jpg


A Large UFO is detected, fighters are scrambled to intercept it, but unfortunately it disappears over South America.

pnVlh.jpg


It is only found again once the European Interceptors ran out of fuel. chzr won't be able to bring it down

on his own, but he decides to take a look. Ah, it's this type. We've dealt with them. Wonder what kind of mission it...

vN2Nh.jpg
