When I woke up, get dream about being a team member of xenonauts, flying in airplane version of famous METAL BAWKSES and shoot shit.

Seems like Xenonauts commanders really crave female company.
Expecting from cold computers feelings (testosterone fueled) is furtile.
Real equality.

Going Ballistic

Update 7: 1979/11/1 - 1979/11/8
Our funding is directed mainly in two directions: primarily, we are going to setup a North American base; secondly, quarters are prepared in Prosperland as SCIENCE!! is deemed unnecesary and a merger ordered.

TqQNoXW.jpg


A Small Scout graciously offers to allow us to test out our new Laser weaponry.

bjpcYBu.png


Sranchammer calls it :incline:

3vl1yXL.jpg


pWfS0Gt.jpg


While Storyfag's approval is reserved for his armour.

ViaKi1S.jpg


Breaching goes according to plan.

6FZ1S0L.png


ciMTZvB.jpg


A new challenger approaches!

gAnwdHA.png


This new Corvette UFO is the largest encountered to date.

J4gjRxj.png


But it turns out to have the turning circle of one of Jupiter's moons.

QxAzSeZ.png


It survives the impact of both Alenium torpedoes before Foxtrot-2 unleashes its payload, the UFO crashing into the Arctic Ocean.

Command has been alerted to this new threat and we're expecting the worst in the coming month.

The Corvette

Update 8: 1979/11/8 - 1979/11/14
More Corvettes appear on our systems.

XBw7ZkA.png


The Prosperland Condors are first to intercept.

VQXeuEQ.png


But they have neither the firepower or the manouverability to operate as a two man squadron anymore.

E8F4eT3.png


RIP Condor squadrons :salute:

nGthXm9.png


The UFO crashes into France. The men are sent to investigate.

HkUuAoN.jpg


Storyfag discovers a new enemy! Unable to get to cover like a true popamole, we deploy smoke to protect our guys.

g1JcORR.jpg


7DhO6PP.jpg


The Floating Disc ignores Storyfag and unleashes much dakka at Sranchammer, suppressing him.

YG3sTXC.jpg


Sranchammer gives zero fucks.

UHHfqOU.jpg


A Sebillian is found in the office to the North. Its alone and taken out by the combined efforts of four Xenonauts.

UMImjfA.jpg


Two more are buys slaughtering civvies near the UFO entrance. Why are civvies hanging around here? It's a mystery.

UMImjfA.jpg


Profreshinal acts with eXtreme predjudice.

Q2Gx1yt.jpg


Seeing his buddy liquidated, the other chooses the better part of valour. Or maybe he just wanted to kill more civvies, which he does.

AX1wXPo.jpg


Comte avenges her countrymen.

00VFSJr.png


Good thing Sebillians can't shoot for shit :salute:



Update 8.5: 1979/11/14 - 1979/11/19
UFO-29 stays too close to The Playground after having shot down the Condor. This insult cannot stand!

LtAgYt3.png


Our Interceptors catch it in the sunny farmland of Russia.

ZA1MLH7.jpg


Still in the dropship, we can't take down this Caesun. Meanwhile Profreshinal checks the barn to the North.

6uPXaU8.jpg


Nope. Nothing to see here.

XFG5vKe.jpg


A Light Drone is spotted by Comte. Nobody has time units left to defend themselves.

w3vjWnK.jpg


Comte comes under fire from the Drone, a few shots hitting her and causing light damage. More shots rain from the field to the North, giving away that there's at least one more alien there.

5Pus0A9.jpg


Civilians distracted both Caesun's for the entire turn. RIP Civvies :salute:

BzeaNqL.jpg


Storyfag and Ulminati combine to take down the Drone.

ZId5Jz0.jpg


Overconfidence or death wish? You decide. Tzaero is a little miffed, but all shots miss.

ZbdVppG.jpg


The other Caesun Guard recieves Eryfkrad's shotgun to the face.

kdbalnN.jpg


Invading the UFO goes easier this time.

oRSsfwQ.jpg


RB7wUMi.jpg


ThIQpJ6.png


It isn't long before we are hitting the road again.

k8vMvfD.jpg


Micoselva makes first contact with this new alien.

RsqHagj.jpg


Precise shooting from Ulminati and Comte drop it before it can act.

yMgTrl8.jpg


At the bottom of the map, Tzaero was doing some scouting. Passing his [Perception] test, he links the blood splatter with the screams we heard earlier.

qaICNBg.jpg


Sure enough, there's another alien around.

cnamlxd.jpg


Maybe should have saved that rocket :M

a2e1QKz.jpg


Our Xenonauts were diverted the moment we spotted the blood and Comte makes it three confirmed kills in three bursts.

KowwgBX.jpg


Two more xenos are found to the North.

rjwNzL8.jpg


Sranchammer and Ulminati destroy the Drone with some precise shooting.

bEs3yhI.jpg


And Profreshinal baits the other, allowing Storyfag to come up behind and destroy it with a burst of laser rifle fire.

TpZ9cBf.jpg


Breaching starts off good. We catch the android in the entrance corridor and Comte makes it #4.

kikAHNb.jpg


Micoselva's shield is turned to molten slag blocking reaction fire.

siITFer.jpg


Storyfag has her arse covered though.

zPfX9rV.jpg


Bd6mcVE.jpg


Profreshinal loses his shield leading us into the UFO proper.

jpKrINl.jpg


Take note spekkio :smug:

J4jHwur.jpg


There was another hiding around the corner and has a clear shot of Eryfkrad. Comte volunteers to protect her sis.

16rHyn3.jpg


...Striding through reaction fire like a true terminator...

I'm very much feeling the need for Double Shotgun for those UFOs. Its quite clear that we don't have enough close-range firepower to make an entrance without exposing ourselves. In every one apart from the Caesun Corvette, there were close scares for a number of Xenonauts and we progressively kept exposing more guys in order to stop the aliens from having a clean shot into someones back. We're consistently that 5% off needing a hell of a lot of recruits.


Smoke saved us in the Sebillian Corvette. That point blank miss - we could easily have lost a couple of guys.

Base Invasion

Update 9: 1979/11/14 - 1979/11/26
z3Ovw2W.png


Our Scientists are proud to finally announce our capability of stunning aliens for capture. Tzaero is unimpressed as he loses some Alerium Rockets for "Stun" Rockets. But this news is quickly drowned out...

YGMQqET.jpg


My tactical analysis: Suffer Not The Alien To Live

2jfyMMd.png


Comte is still in the infirmary but we have a skilled team ready for deployment. After many missions as a Shieldbearer, Micoselva is given a real weapon.

bta7kGo.jpg


gFgU59k.png


Initial plan - Micoselva and Eryfkrad will cover the western entrance while the rest of our team go east.

DbrIbTM.png


Could this be where Androns are being produced?

yUG3iiI.png


A Small Drone and a new class of Andron are spotted, Profreshinal beating a hasty retreat.

fQINo2O.png


If the enemy didn't know we were here, they sure do now :smug:

ZVQQJDx.png


Another Drone is destroyed. Their fragile construction makes them an easy target when you catch one alone.

mfOZ4Xj.png


With this kill Micoselva scouts ahead, finding two more teal Androns in a storage area.

HsVmVY4.png


She's unable to get back into cover, so we bring the cover and back her up in case she's chased.

PAErEKT.png


Our initial plan is dropped as we deal with the immediate threat.

7L5u416.png


Tzaero cleanses with holy Alenium and Micoselva mops up the surviving Andron.

1rMyRvs.png


Nevill is left as rearguard...

ni1V3PS.png


...And we advance.

G6usV1V.png


KcPqy2q.png


Jz4igJG.png


So much for keeping up the pace. There's three teal Androns along with the weaker green, until Tzaero destroys that one with another rocket.

1CfMWBo.png


Wish I still had that rocket :roll:

pI1GdOK.png


This range is still perfect for us though, focussed fire making the Andron that advanced on Profreshinal have a critical failure.

hkVNVl0.png


AANqGHQ.png


Enemies destroyed, Profreshinal moves into the radar room.

hgst4xj.png


Fuck, another one?

3Sr0COf.png


A pistol is enough to remove this threat.

ZO1r2i0.png


BfoDR0J.png


These things are tough, but they can't stop us.

4VKMUhn.png


c3yK0uW.png


We try to bait it into the corridor but have no luck.

2BxQIbj.png


So we secure the room and get ready to assault with Eryfkrad and Micoselva.

tLwL9Ur.png


After a shot to tease out any reaction fire, Micoselva moves in for a real shot...

okERcFT.png


0JdMVIs.png


RIP MicoSelva :salute:

zvomqfu.png


Eryfkrad avenges her sis.

ojPJsZU.png


Storyfag applies some first aid but all we can do is hope and pray.

vlMipEp.png


0MI3YvS.png


The rest of the base needs to be cleared. We lay siege as Eryfkrad, Storyfag and Sranchammer are all diverted.

4cE9k8t.png


GvcAyHF.jpg


Sranchammer and Eryfkrad work together to kill the Andron without it firing a shot.

JpZ6pMg.png


The rest of the base is cleared and we converge around the command centre, Storyfag and Eryfkrad move into the ventilation after blowing open the entrance.

EQLcwGg.png


Sranchammer swears to avenge Micoselva :salute:

HLuakUW.png


ITZ COMING.

wuGjWyv.png


Profreshinal can only draw fire from the Andron commander.

HWuAr4R.png


lKpEO9U.png


Humanity - fuck yeah!

6TDHNNE.png


J735MhY.png


Tzaero exposes himself as a traitor :rpgcodex:

5VBRyg0.png


Sranchammer closes on the Andron and hits it full on with Micoselva's laser carbine...

wzU0kmF.png


:rage:

os2CAWz.png


RIP Sranchammer :salute:

jEer6X9.png


I can't believe it didn't shoot Sranchammer when he was moving, and now it suddenly has enough TU's left over to shoot at Nevill!

jEer6X9.png


Vengeance is best served hot.

Ex8mFMx.png


Profreshinal draws fire...

wsgFcB6.png


NfiocY2.png


...And the last robot falls.

9Hux2OB.png


S7904Uq.png


Our Xenonauts have been rewarded for their bravery and given the rest of the day off to go enjoy themselves in Buenos Aires. Micoselva has survived her injury, I guess finally losing her kill virginity gave her the Will to keep fighting and keep breathing.

Maybe if I were a chick IRL I would get promoted so fast too. From private to captain after six missions, despite scoring zero kills. Damn. Seems like Xenonauts commanders really crave female company.

The backer's certainly did,

1) Hire Level Designer (10.56)
2) Indoor Missions (10.21)
3) Soviet Town tileset (9.31)
4) Military Base tileset (9.30)
5) Reaper Hive tileset (8.78)
6) Female Soldiers (8.44)
7) Tileset-specific NPC soldiers (8.08)
8) Motion Detector (6.95)
9) Soldier Memorial Screen (6.71)
10) Vehicle Combat Experience (6.45)
11) Pilot Portraits & Callsigns (6.15)
12) Proxy Grenades (6.10)
13) Tall Grass (5.94)
14) Human Psionics & Blaster Bombs mod (5.38)
15) Mac / Linux Porting (4.57)

I mean that was one of the worst example of voting I have ever seen, tileset specific NPCs who die in one shot over Vehicle Combat experience, proxy grenades, and tall grass replete with fires?... No need to mention the most glaring issue that the backers did not vote Psionics and Blaster Bomb mod. Was sad inside when I got that backer update in email.

Oh well seems like the game is turning out nicely still holding off on playing it until it is ready.

Did I just got awarded 3 medals for shooting Sranchammer?

Humanity - fuck yeah!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Andron popped his mole before you popped its mole :M


Air Inferiority

Update 10: 1979/11/26 - 1979/12/1
You'd have thought that taking out an Alien Base would be considered a good thing...

dBYElYz.jpg


Bnye7lT.png


Strange lights are seen all over Europe. The Kickstarter can't even return to base with command reporting Fighter UFOs shooting down military craft in Israel. Our modified Chinook doesn't stand much chance.

9qufaBo.png


Foxtrots are scrambled to try and get The Kickstarter back home safely, but they are not suited to fighting smaller craft - we need cannons. Hell, we need the Condors back.

nyWOmBi.png


The fate of The Kickstarter is now with the gods. Ulminati is fondly reminding the rookies about how Charlie-1 plummeted to the Earth in flames.

ns2kPUq.png


We're forced to return to Brazil and wait out the storm. Hours turn to days...

CDAqpR9.jpg


:ehue: Fuck these losers. Next time we're going to leave their asses to get probed.

9ACxkWA.png


Finally some good news.

When you finish it can you tell me if your base blast doors slam shut after taking a few hits with someone standing really close to it? I had one and i was spamming the scout cars pulse laser and doors were slamming shut and refusing to open from what it seemed was damage but it also seemed to happen randomly, so was wondering if that was intentional or.....

Tower Defense

Update 10: 1979/12/1 - 1979/12/1
E1MGgLO.jpg


The attack took us by surprise and we still have more laser weaponry locked away in storage.

b8rT6Pv.jpg


2BfD6S3.jpg


Kipeci didn't sign up for this.

oVUAKDc.jpg


Sod the rifles. Ashery and our private drop Alenium Grenades on point.

hTd8oxi.jpg


It's not enough for either alien!

gvDci2k.jpg


Ashery is grazed by rapid fire plasma but survives. Meanwhile, just up the corridor...

Plysmsi.jpg


Eryfkrad greets the lizzie with a quick shotgun blast to the side. Best reaction shot yet.

Kf5RjGn.jpg


2HcMAOM.jpg


Ulminati gets a little damage off with his reaction shot.

jZ9rjZw.jpg


Luckily these five Sebillian's are right in the line of fire of our most fortified entrance and against three hardened veterans.

k38605N.jpg


Commissar Draco finally gets chance to try out his missile launcher.

Q834nK2.jpg


kRC9BH3.jpg


I'm sure our Scientists will be appreciative that we took care around their equipment.

LwE8RIB.jpg


Ulminati picks his target and takes it down.

t4hqrq5.jpg


Not to be outdone, Storyfag scores a double with a few quick shots.

SnQOeue.jpg


Ashery pops the Light Drone and Kipeci trues to gun down the remaining Sebillian...

37Ublki.jpg


Tzaero shows the rookie how its done. Elsewhere...

5g9Jv9N.jpg


Oh fuck. Chrysalids! Reapers!

jDZZc4t.jpg


Ulminati flashes the final surviving Sebillian in the western lab and Eryfkrad rushes in for the kill.

WCjpOq5.jpg


Comte, Profreshinal and Azira try to stop the Reaper from closing to impregnate them...

ysvrJKg.jpg


Azira hits but it's not enough!

CNEBgiC.jpg


RIP Comt--

hpW9fpp.jpg


:salute:

mGv32cG.jpg


This is where the Reaper came from, a Sebillian Soldier is busy ransacking our supplies.

9oaBd29.jpg


Kipeci about to become a mother.

YgR9rZz.jpg


:troll:

YNeH7k9.jpg


Profreshinal makes his shots count.

waEjq44.jpg


This Jackal armour is good stuff.

ablC9fu.jpg


p0an1zy.jpg


Azira and Comte don't have the firepower and Storyfag is required to come it to kill the baited Soldier.

GNFCErx.jpg


They sure hate Profreshinal.

4F9Utgx.jpg


Commissar Draco and Ulminati are busy working their way towards the Southern base entrace.

TXuZSz6.jpg


Once again a rocket is not enough...

cORqGw2.jpg


Ulminati confirms that the blast door is fucked after killing the Sebillian.

nTVModZ.jpg


The storage room looks like it'll become the next battlezone.

5exnnrJ.jpg


Profreshinal comes under fire...

z9euuPR.jpg


...His shield protects him from the worst of the blast...

prHjCyH.jpg


XhRDV6U.jpg


hxD1yf4.jpg


OAUEwAQ.jpg


Lucky bastard :salute:

Gq2cl9Q.jpg


Kipeci gives Profreshinal some TLC as Eryfkrad is required to take out the alien. Nevill completely missed.

6vgXHRn.jpg


The surviving Sebillian is pinned in the workshop.

UWBvPcc.jpg


qowuKiM.jpg


Third time lucky for Commissar Draco.

WhHjm2t.jpg


vhNmFTO.jpg


Ulminati's got this.

JMwrar2.jpg


Storyfag trades hits.

7caX5aa.jpg


tt1K53g.png


Okay, I'm curious, what were three Sebillian's doing in our medical room? And is this really all we can afford as far as surgical equipment goes?

sINrGh0.jpg


Storyfag kills the alien.

jJD6Bl3.jpg


Hmmm...

8C2tePn.jpg


:smug:

Le3KZJG.jpg


fJRBB0N.jpg


Comte arrives to steal the kill.

lehLxEd.png


Profreshinal wants in on the glory.
