At this rate it would be faster for me to drive to NCIX, buy a new ssd, install it and use that to decrypt rather than waiting for my old drive to do it.

I hated timed missions in Xcom 1, so I've adapted by rolling with three grenadiers, all with grenade skills. Scorched earth policy is in effect.

Finished the Veteran campaign, thoughts: I really like how they handled Weapons and Armour in this. Just building it once was a huge qol thing. I like how they handled weapon attachments and items, lots of choice (sometimes too many!) and still made it stressful to recover fallen guys. I did not like how they handled the "experimental" items. Rng to get items was a pain in the rear end, especially since cores are so rare. I had to artificially extend the campaign just to scrounge up enough cores to let the item roulette machine give me what I wanted. I loved the geoscape changes. Gone are the dead times of eu where you'd just have to sit around mid month twiddling your thumbs waiting for money. Xcom2 you're constantly busy with something. I never used Psi ops the entire game. The final mission made me realize I may have missed some cool poo poo End Game Spoilers: The thread title should be immediately changed to Terrorists to the Depths. End game storyline was kinda cool, although they sorta rushed thru the whole "commander is the gateway" thing I liked how the aliens, while bad, do not appear to be holy 100% evil. Kinda nice. Heavy sequel foreshadowing at the end. Bugs: On the second to last mission you can use Intel to get bonuses. If you choose the bonus, load up and fly out then cancel, you still get the bonuses in other missions. Also, you seem to get the stealth bonus (assuming you didn't loose it at the radio tower) in the final mission. I had three guys concealed that shouldn't have been. Notable Soldiers: Sharpshooter with Run and Gun. An absolute monster early game where she would run in and face off everyone. Lost a lot of its versatility later on when running in was not a great idea, but run and gun was still useful for catching up and reloading when she changed to a sniper. Ranger with Serial. Maxed move PCS, Wraith Armour, Talon Rounds and a shotgun with Autoloader and Laser Sight. This guy was an unstoppable killing machine. Used to scout early on for the snipers and grenadiers, when he would finally bust out of the shadows he just killed everything in minutes. He alone was responsible for killing most of the "boss" enemies. Specialist with Shredder: She had a lot of luck with Guardian, and would routinely clear out armour of everyone in the area. Overall, loved the game, found it both easier and more enjoyable than EU, and looking forward to the mods.

Backhand posted:Every time I fire up Xenonauts I get bored waiting for something to happen. The game starts off by throwing you into base-building mode rather than combat, doesn't give you context for anything, makes you wait around for your first interception (which is very chance-based and you don't necessarily know how to do correctly).... it's just poor game design to start the player on the most boring aspect and not tell them anything about it. It's a very sour note to start on. Xenonauts was made for the fans of the classic Xcom, which starts like this. IMO I prefer it to the "Go shoot some poo poo" approach of new Xcom.

BenRGamer posted:Have you tried the 'alert all pods' mod? I think it works wonders on it. Instead of getting 1-2 round combats, it turns whole missions into rolling firefights where you just don't stop fighting until everythings dead and have to measure moving forward along with that. I use the Alert All Pods mod and I loving love it. It makes more sense for me thematically, and it makes missions extremely intense as you have to fight your way everywhere once you've gone loud.

marshmallow creep posted:What would I need to edit or what mod would I need to use to scale up supply awards? You could also try using a memory editor (or Cheatengine) to freeze/change your resource amounts. It takes a little trial and error tho. Still probably easier then altering the ini rewards tho.

Not Al-Qaeda posted:lol how are you supposed to play this game without savescumming. do you just extract and abandon the mission when a second group of enemies randomly walks into you while youre still killing the first one or wtf Early on it can be tough, but once you get a permanent concealed Ranger things get dramatically easier as you can scout and work around patrols. My squad was generally one Concealed Ranger for scouting, two Snipers, two Grenadiers and one Specialist. Ranger scouts, Snipers kill everything they can, grenadiers kill everything heavy and the specialist waits for things to go wrong. At least that's how I played. The new fatigue system is going to force me into a new strategy probably, and the lost means I'll maybe actually make a gunslinger for once. Excited!

Zore posted:Make sure you also do the one that increases timers with that or it could be insanely dicey. Iirc Beta Strike automatically increases timer limits. I think it also auto heals 50% of damage taken so you don't have guys in the infirmary for 4 years. That's an excellent point about EXP and soldier rotation tho, didn't think about that.

There's already a mod the allows swords to take advantage of the lost headshot mechanic. It looks like a simple ini file change, so I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to add other abilities to work with headshot.

BlazetheInferno posted:Speaking of Combat Intelligence, actually, anyone got an answer to this? Combat intelligence and AP have no affect on PSI Troops. You level them the old fashioned way in the PSI chamber. Tae posted:I bet Lost Missions are the worst thing ever if you have that Double HP mod. If you're talking about the advanced option "Beta Strike", where everyone's health is doubled, it doesn't affect the lost. Internet Kraken posted:No I meant the item you can make from zerker corpses that nobody ever bothered with. There's a research breakthrough that makes them reusable, but that's about it. As an FYI, do not take Beta Strike and Extended Timers as advanced options. It makes the timers absurdly long to the point where the might as well not even exist.

Now that I stopped doing that - and started superstitiously always clicking on prox mine then on fire grenades before moving the mouse to my target - I haven't had any more problems. That may indeed be what was happening, as I was using the arrow keys as well and have stopped using them since.
