Broke my rule and bought this pre-release. Although GMG offering it on sale helped a little.

I am hyped.

There really needs to be a Stargate mod, this idea of mounting 8 Jaffa staff-weapons on a HWP to create a gatling gun is ridiculous and wonderful

It's a shame that there wasn't ever a decent Stargate game.

I think they're running scared because Google Fiber is coming to town.

Some state senators in Kansas that are in Comcast's pocket tried passing a law banning Google Fiber from being in the state.

Somebody finally got around to making Archer and Duke Nukem voice packs.

Has anyone made the tactical turtleneck yet?

I would really like labs to be worthwhile. The workshops have a value in the gremlins but nothing so nice for the labs. How about letting labs give your a scanning bonus or further bonus on soldiers healing? A constant stipend of intel from a lab would be nice too.

Let's white noise post. Help me come up with names for my guns. I'm going full Warhammer with it, so religious or vaguely religious or vaguely Latin names are in. Preferably with fire-and-brimstone sin / punishment / crusade connotations.

This is my list:

Absolution (personally I find this a particularly name for a sniper rifle)
Purifier
Redeemer
Confessor
Wrath
Vengeance
Purgation
Repentance
Deus Vult
Crusader

Ten is pretty good for my habit of only naming modded guns belonging to nicknamed personnel, and handing the weapons down on death, but I thought I'd share and get ideas.

I named one of my shotguns "Diplomacy." I think that would fit well with what you are going for.

Barack Obama's shotgun was named "Socialism", after he died I passed it to Kim Jong Il.

I'm probably going to hell for this but your post just made me think of naming a gun "Black Powder Matters."

What affects a soldier's increase in hacking skill? Just hacking a lot? Promotions? Those PCS things (I've never found a +hack one)?

My hacking percentage, especially when skulljacking, is always abysmally low, even on my Specialists.

This is my lead hacker in my second campaign. The window is from last night's mission to get a thing.

I would love to get those instead of the crap I'm getting.

The shadow chamber needs at least 5 for some projects, so it's bitching about that. Unless you did those already too in which case lol.

Check everything is my advice. That is the second hack boost he's gotten this campaign. I had another specialist get one while he was hurt.

It's a goon made mod on the nexus called ayy lmao. It alters a fair amount of names and text, though your YMMV on whether you like it or not.

I still giggle whenever I use a flashbang and see "read a jaden smith tweet" pop up.

edit: Also the screenshot I posted had the Lowtax someone made, miss 3-4 80% shots, getting better soldiers killed and then panicked himself. I don't know if he actually killed anything, but he did get a couple of good shots in.

That jaden tweet thing is god damned amazing and I am still laughing a minute after I read it.

They almost always move slightly after the teleport, and that does count. But in some cases they just teleport right into cover and don't move and won't trigger overwatch. It may be a bug, not sure.

I've experienced the same thing.

It is hard to keep track in a thread that moves so fast. Could someone link to the post someone compiled of things that can be safely sold and things that are needed for research and production?
