I'm not 100% on any outfit except Orca and Bottlenose.

The reason I'm posting is to get feedback, I'm waiting for Shen's Last DLC and more gameplay mods before I do a hardcore RP story playthrough and the Dolphins will be a key squad in case I can keep the alive long enough.

desu we could have drawn that.
One goal was pure refball and one goal was PURELY the fault of FUCKING EXALT, he was too exhausted and the ball got stolen.

I'm sure Delta knows what he is doing but FUCKING EXALT should have been subbed A LOT earlier.

it was a good run Delta, can't be too mad with a silver medal

So all in all we could consider this a "successful" mission in which seven out of eight of your best squad members are gravely wounded/dead and your campaign is irrevocably fucked because of the fatigue/wound spiral?

>>146014279
Go get em, show em' who's boss! There's only one entrance, so camp a bit before assaulting the interior. Just don't take too long. Past turn 20, the aliens are told where all your units are and go hyper aggressive. Any cluster of friendlies will be naded.

what the hell is wrong with you

Is the Piratez anon still around? If so, how many Brainers should I be aiming to get in month 1, 2, and 3? They're rather expensive...

>>146037097
They're hard to afford, and it really depends on what kinds of missions you're able to complete early on and what kind of loot you get. If you're lucky you might get landed craft or something with decent cash value. More likely you're looking at selling swag bags for 50k-200k along with any cheap captives you might get your hands on.

I try to grab a third one as soon as possible, it's usually affordable on your starting dosh if you didn't build any new buildings. Getting another barracks up pretty soon and workshop space to make some cash is more fiscally responsible, but getting ahead in tech to get a real aircraft or merchant access quickly is great if you can manage it.

If your experience is minimal, then I would go with a safer slow expansion. The game is really long and doesn't escalate nearly as fast as vanilla.

>>146037097
It just entirely depends on your income. Check the logs to see your maintenance costs vs. income. Just make sure you can keep up the pay. A little bit in the red is okay as long as your hitting ships and targets and selling goods.
There's alot of stuff to research, and you're kinda gonna to want it all.

>>146044789
low bravery doesn't even matter that much if you don't get your guys killed 2bh

Employ the Commander/Colonel + dozen rookies for every mission that you think you'll have a lot of trouble on, like landed very larges/terror missions/base assaults. This way your guys won't panic when high ranking soliders die, which happens a lot on those missions where you're unprepared.

train up an elite team of operators on small/medium UFOs and other easy missions. Use them when you run out of rookies or when you REALLY need something to get done, like a terror mission on which your entire campaign hinges.

>>146039279
this right here is why I don't play ironmeme

>>146041138
never you fucking degenerate

>>146045438
Honestly theirs not too much depth to the stats for base xcom. You want good aim, low bravery can be worked around, but soldiers are pretty cheap, so I prefer them to at least not be cowards.

High Time units and reactions make for good scouts. The way reaction fire works is that when you see someone it compares your reaction score to theirs. The reaction score is based on the units reactions, and how many time units they have left vs. the enemies reactions and how many time units they ended their turn with. If you have a lower reaction score, the aliens take a shot at you.

Beyond that, there's really not much more to say. Your tacitcs matter way more then individual soldiers. Soldiers operating alone die alone.

Autofire is the best fire mode period, at all ranges unless your worried about friendly fire. The few exceptions are when you have snipers set up with laser rifles since with full time units they can deliver to aimed shots pretty much guaranteed hits.

The thing that pisses me off maybe the most about the original x-com is the Energy stat. It's like an extra layer of hassle without any interesting challenge and just makes you waste a bunch of turns to regain it every 10 turns or so. Otherwise it fucks you over at the worst time.

Turn on alternate movement. You can now sprint (hold shift while clicking). It uses energy much faster. Now energy is useful with big pros and cons for using it fast.

>>146048818
Does everybody just use alternate movement? I always felt like it would be kind of cheatey to use it

>>146049082
I think it makes the game easier. But it also makes the game way more fun and interesting. Using it wrong just screws yourself over. If you want to turn it off so you can complete a standard x-com run, go for it, it will just help you appreciate later.

When you get to any of the x-com overhauls, balance is thrown out the window. PirateZ is actually balanced around sprinting since items like alcohol , combat drugs, and medkits and actually be used to restore stamina.

So yes, it wasn't in the original x-com, and it will make the game easier if you are'nt retared. However its a fanstastic mechanic that fits so well, I wouldn't play without it anymore.

Strafing is also very useful due to the reaction fire rules. If two units spot each other at the same time, there is no roll for reaction fire. You can use this to round corners without instantly getting killed.

>>146049389
I could probably just enable it mid campaign yeah?

>>146049515
You can switch it off and on anytime you want since its a built in option for openxcom.

If you haven't signed up with the mutant alliance, they don't expect you to show up to the terror missions and you won't get the -1000 score for ignoring it entirely. If you show up to the site though, you're still accountable for the outcome.

It was a bandit mission with regenerating mutants, fire breathing dogs, and swarms of little asshole midgets, right? They're pretty shitty, even later on, just because of their numbers.

>>146052128
Yep, that was it. Had one ghoul take 8 sword swings to bring down, unconscious. I go hide and to prep for the next turn, walk back out, and he's right there standing again, takes another 4 sword hits before he goes unconscious AGAIN. I executed him.

What do you mean by "sign up" with the mutant alliance? I thought you were in a relationship with them from the start?

I'd say i thoroughly tested it but that would be a lie, but i think everything should probably work just fine, but if you find any bugs or glitches or anything just feed me (yous) or post in the comments or something, i dunno.

Oh and to get the weapon you need to buy it from Shen just like the normal plasma rifle(it requires the plasma rifle research too obviously), the only negative is that if you already used plasma rifles before and you put attachments on them they wont carry over to this gun when you buy it.

Ha no, I completely missed that part.

Also, like I said I'm playing an older version of PirateZ, so guess what? I get to roll with literally the most pimp'n assault craft every to grace an x-com game.

Check this out. It's got a ramp with plenty of space to exit. Then notice that drop off point at the back. Perfectly safe and you can drop all your troops through there extremely efficiently. There's also stairs that let you get to the roof which are on the 3rd floor so its literally a mobile sniper's nest. On top of all this it can carry 18 crew members or 14 crew members and a tank with an auto cannon that deals 120 average damage and has 90 armor. Basically I feel reel base for your crappy 6 seater hover bus.

This particular research is what does it, assuming you're playing a newer build. I see you're slumming it in the shitty six seat shitbus, which I believe was added at the same time to create a super-early-game phase.

>>146052768
All right, thanks mate!

Yeah, the shitbus is kindof a lame intro to the game. I get cucked by literally everything flying in my territory.

I think prudefags had vacated this place. How are you doing today?

This is one dead snek waiting to happen.

>>146054261
So it's prudishness for wanting someone pushing their shitty meme every thread to fuck off?

>>146052221

Already swapped out all of my troops using the old plasma rifles, the rest of my squad are using the advent weapons mod.

Anon, your work is top of the class - exactly what we should expect from tier 3 Xcom weapons,

Keep up the good work.
