Please put me in as a human agent again. Maybe this time I won’t be killed by your overweening hubris and slipshod tactics. :mad:

Jesus, thanks Luv. Beer's on me.

Is Civic Project next to the other two Psyke slums? If so let's roll out there.

why did that one bridge just up and explode as you drove on it?

We were shooting at something (cultists, I think) and sprayed so many missiles around the landscape that we brought the roadway down on top of us.

I think we should sell most of the drugs. Last time we started running really low on ammo and that puts severe crimps in our plans to murder the gently caress out of anything not from Earth.

What's our grenade stock look like? Don't forget to load us up, chief.

Do we actually get anything from recovered unmanned UFOs we've already researched, or are they just big paperweights?

IIRC I'm on the disabled list. How long am I out for, coach?

Do helmets also give partial protection against getting brainsucked? I'd always been playing under the assumption that they do but idk if it's in the actual game mechanics.

I wanna say it does provide some resistance to the suck, but I'm not certain. Been a loooong time since I played this game myself.

At 0:35 of the UFO interception clip it looks like we downed one of the fuckers. Shouldn't we be trying to scoop that up?

Seconding light disruptor beam.

Perhaps drop back to turn-based combat to finesse necessary captures of live specimens?

I still think you should drop back to turn-based when trying to capture aliens.

:ghost: If we're not going to buy our way back into Transtellar's good graces then we might want to consider hiring an agent to be the errand boy, fetching all our crap. Or do we actually have to send agents? Do we just send vehicles to suppliers to pick stuff up instead?

Don't be neglecting our supply chain, is what I'm saying. Can't fill aliens full of lead if we haven't got the lead to throw at them.

The personal energy shield is pretty legit IIRC and I think it will really help the weakling brainwave casters stay alive in combat.

:ghost: I don’t think agents can do any damage to buildings while in raids that affects the cityscape in any way but I would hazard a guess that blowing poo poo up during raid combat does affect the raided org financially.

:ghost: yeah but we’ve seen time and again how catastrophically inaccurate cityscape combat is. I say we don’t hit enemy buildings unless they’re isolated or surrounded by the buildings of other already-hostile orgs.

Does researching the UFOs actually yield any practical results?
