Nookrium Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 It's so easy to say - get Hover Blaster, yet he still uses avalanches....?? Not really sure what hover blasters have to do with Avalanches, but what would you be using for craft weapons? I've been building plasma cannons but I just recently researched them and have only had time to build 2 so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've only made 2 and didn't plan on making more. Even with crippled range they are more useful than avalanches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with crippled range they are more useful than avalanches.I'm not sure where "didn't plan to make more" came from, but I've only stopped long enough to build a few tanks (for top priority base defense) and a Lightning, Firestorm, and Avenger (to help with monthly deficit).By the looks of my Elerium supply I may have to keep the avalanches around even longer.

Nookrium Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 For the tanks, I was thinking more along different lines. Keep your soldiers mobile with Heavy Plasmas.I know Ethereals could be a problem, but I was thinking along the lines of 3-4 blaster launcher carrying soldiers. The plan being, first turn light up the hangers... The only way I know of dealing with them is to hit them early fast, so if I can launch 3-4 blaster bombs first turn into them, that might be enough damage to their moral to get them to start panicking.Having the tank around would work really well against a Chrysallid attack (although I think Overlords are the new problem). if you don't have Alien Containment built at the base, all the stunning in the world will go to waste. Oh yeah! I'm glad I didn't try stunning anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookrium Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I seem to have reached another research roadblock...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmtrTEmBOGo @Hobbes, you don't have to spoil it, but would it be wise to hold off on the Ethereal research or should I do it now?

silencer_pl Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 It's Etheral, you will get PSI Lab. And the research prerequisite carries over. It was only a bug in TFTD where you didn't want to research few things before acquiring prerequisite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 @Hobbes, you don't have to spoil it, but would it be wise to hold off on the Ethereal research or should I do it now? Have you noticed how Overlords, Alien Elites and Ethereals seem to be appearing more than usual? The Ethereal Leader will definitely give you some research you want. OK, meanwhile the protagonists of the next version of Redux decided to take a break from all their hard work and took a selfie https://www.openxcom.com/content/modimages/BSXGBTNU082720150320.png Unfortunately the Waspite (new alien race) decided to wander off right before the pic was taken...

NKF Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Considering how much worse that mission could have gone, to only get away with 2 losses was nothing short of a miracle. Also, as to be expected, the panicking and mind controlled officers got served promotions. Your rockets were normal rockets. The vegetation in the mountain style maps tend to be highly flammable for some reason. so gave the impression that you were using incendiary rockets. One thing I was thinking when you were getting your guys ready for stunning that last ethereal was that you really should have stowed away the Heavy Plasmas. Especially after the botch up with the first Ethereal you were wanting to capture. Another panic attack might have finished it off. - NKF Nookrium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookrium Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 A nicely timed medium UFO is quite handy at this point.

Well for Psionics you still need the Mind Probe, but... you should have gotten Alien Operations, if you have researched Alien Origins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Why you are not putting Mr. Badger in danger as you put me huh? I have this fairly recent memory of a certain Commander carrying a Blaster Launcher heading off ahead on his own and came face to buttcheeks with a Muton. I think one of the better Hobbes clones saved him at the time. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for Psionics you still need the Mind Probe, but... you should have gotten Alien Operations, if you have researched Alien OriginsI have a few mind probes but don't have an option to research them yet. I can't remember if I researched a Medic yet so I'm waiting to see if that gives me anything when it's done.I have done Alien Origins also.

Yeah, I've noticed that you haven't captured a Medic yet, since you need it for the probe and the small launcher. But you should have gotten Alien Operations after researching the Leader, just drop me a save and I can fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed: you have the Cydonia PSX map. It should be fine but I also made a few changes to the 2nd part of Cydonia. But you can deactivate that mod without any problem.
