[/spoiler]You have played X-COM, right?
I'm not on aboutEnforcer Interceptorthe recent abomination from 2K Games with their squad limit of five and difficulty line; I'm on about the alien-grenade-in-sub-multikill of Terror from the Deep and the Chrysalid Butterfly Effect of UFO Defense. And let's be honest here - if you've not played X-COM, you've strayed too far from General Discussion, friend.
Xenonauts is a spiritual sequel to those timeless games which are so very suited to LPs. There are differences, but anyone familiar with X-COM will be able jump right in no bother. This LP will be Ironman on Veteran difficulty, and will become a blind LP a few updates in.
In the best interests ofacquiringprotecting the world's supply of oil our asylum is based in the Middle East, specifically the island of Crete. First thing I do is requisition 5 more Scientists so we can fully staff our single Laboratory before ordering the construction of more Living Quarters, another Workshop, a Medical Centre and another Radar Array to enhance our detected.
We currently have 2 Condors - slow fighters equipped with a Cannon Hardpoint and two Light Missile Hardpoints, which we will need to supplement ASAP. Our dropship, the Chinook, has room for 8 soldiers.
The glorious soldiers of mankind under their alias. Stats are self explanatory, basic kit is unlimited, and as ever in these LPs - I will need volunteers to defend humanity against the invaders, catch plasma with your faces and take friendly fire up your arses. First come first server, and once we get the first 8 we begin.
The current roles below are available, and I shall avoid parting you with your Veras and your Saschas for the most part - exceptions being when you're the most qualified soldier to handle our big guns.
Basic
Recce: Equipped with a Pistol and Shield, you are the most valuable member of the team, scouting ahead to detect the enemy.
Rifleman: Equipped with a Rifle, you form the backbone of the fire-team.
Assault: Equipped with a Shotgun, you are king of breaching and close-quarters combat.
Specialist
Sniper: Equipped with a Precision Rifle, you will be relied on for making that single shot count.
HMG: Equipped with a Machine Gun, you bring the dakka.
Rocketeer: Equipped with a Rocket Launcher, you blow shit up.
Armoured
Pilot: You operate our aircraft against the alien fleet.
Tanker: You crew any of the fighting vehicles we build.
