here i thought that those who wanted could add stories and what they would like to see in a mod, and those with the skils needed to make serious mods(does not include me ) could come here for inspiration.(dont know if anyone else than me will use this.)

ok, ill start:


the "bad" reticulans(is the name right?) where actually good. it was the old gray(got the name right?)who were the bad guys, cause they had a fleet of ships on the way to earth to invade this. but the reticulans found out of this and blowed up a portal of some kind to save humankind. the reticulans knew it wouldnt hold them back for long, but at least for a couple of years. then they decided to make a giant living space ship of earth(the fact that all humans would die didnt cross their minds). when we resisted, they used the "we know whats best for you, you dont" excuse and started attacking. when we wacked them all, we found logs explaining all this, and we had to defeat the incomming forces all alone. the first phase would involve finding and taking care of(killing hehehe ) all of the old grays on earth to prevent commando raids and sabotage.in the second phase we would have to build missile silos and shield generators to prevent the whole world getting blown to bits AND FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE GREYS. the third phase would involve fighting aliens wo had gotten down on earth and capturing alien ships in orbit


what do you think of it?
let me know

Number two:

After the war (this assumes you either went to the moon, or conquered all the bases on the planet) the Council of Earth began to rebuild. Using terraforming technology acquired from the Evil Reticulian's biomass project, they made earth fertile again. They even cloned species that were killed in the fall, such as elephants, cats, and dogs. All transgenants were annhilated.

Not long after the CoE had finally established order in the world, and rebuilt our shattered species, another alien attack hit us. They were the reticulians we all know and love. However, these rets were not nearly as numerous as the previous invasion, and we throughly thrash them. However, from the reticulian leader's dying moments, we learn that there is another alien fleet on the way to earth. These aliens make the reticulians look like pansies. (And they don't use biotechnology.) They have conquered and enslaved countless alien species over the years, including the "Old Greys." Now, they have come for earth.

Alien weapons, such as the plasma and warp weapons don't really function well against these new invaders (60%< resistance) while human weapons, such as the MP7 and G11 prove highly effective (20%>resistance)
In addition, these aliens' weapons kill people using shields *Cough bioarmor whores cough* in a single hit, while they do signifigantly less damage to normal human armor. (This is to make heavy armor useful again.)

Xcom, err I mean PheoniX COMpany must now throw yet another evil alien race off our soil!

Features include:

More Implements of Killing

Or you will get to see your men rapell down from it, like in the E3 movie!
Hidden Easter egg: Sectoids gone Wild!
