Damn, killed on my very first mission. Is there even enough of me left to make a robo-soldier out of?

You'd done a couple of missions before, mostly just assault-and-clear of scout UFOs.

Re: Let's Play X-COM: UFO Defense!
Here's a dumb question, but why didn't we target the gas station as soon as we saw the but raping alien in its vicinity?
Big boom happens, hopefully alien dies...and if not, well its probably injured and has less cover to use!

Re: Let's Play X-COM: UFO Defense!
We had people next to the gas station too. The chryssalid was approching from the south, and by the time it was close enough to the pumps to shoot the pumps, it had face-raped everyone who had a line of fire on the pumps.Chris OFarrell wrote:Here's a dumb question, but why didn't we target the gas station as soon as we saw the but raping alien in its vicinity?

That and gas station explosions aren't guaranteed to kill Chryssalids. Fuckers are built like tanks. They're about as tough as cyberdiscs to kill.

Re: Let's Play X-COM: UFO Defense!
Yeah, um... sorry I couldn't go on that mission with you guys, but... um... I was sick. *cough*
But don't worry, it seems to be mysteriously going away now that the skyranger has returned, so I'll be okay!

Holy smokes. I'm a little surprised that the mission was actually completed. Half a cheer (that's all the survivors can muster) to Peptuck for winning kinda a little.

I must be uncharacteristically lucky. The first time I encountered a Chryssalid I turned it into goo on the same turn. Mind you, I had to use my entire fucking squad to do that...

Re: Let's Play X-COM: UFO Defense!
Apparently, the aliens either pitied us or they decided to get stoned for two weeks straight.
The rest of May was almost entirely uneventful, which was a mercy, as we rushed to get research, construction, resupply, and recruitment finished. An influx of fresh troops (human and cyborg) was brought in, alongside a massively expanded science staff. Several critical research items were completed.
Chief Engineer Fnord reports that the new power suits will offer much greater protection to our soldiers, at the cost of elerium to power the suits. Because of the elerium cost of manufacturing power suits, we will be restricting their use to only experienced soldiers and cyborgs. Regular infantrymen will have to wear standard light armor or personal armor.
Doctor Surlethe also reported completion of studies of the aliens' operating systems and navigation. With this, we can begin studies on constructing our own elerium-powered aircraft.
Doctor Bear's work in breaking the alien prisoners has yielded valuable results. We now know that the aliens are operating from a base within our solar system, judging by the lack of anything resembling a faster-than-light drive on any vessel we have recovered. The aliens confirm that they are operating from a world within our system, thought he rank-and-file we have taken thus far don't seem to know which one. They are either stupid or deliberately kept ignorant. We will need an alien of command rank to learn more.
Sundry improvements were made: an interceptor was deployed to Perseus, finally giving us an edge in the Western Hemisphere. The hyperwave decoder at Vodkaville has been completed, as well. Welcome To Earf is next on the list for this upgrade.
May remained quiet. Only a few small scout UFOs were detected, and they were dealt with to the point where only scattered debris remained.
Note: ohgodohgodohgodmutonsmommyhelpIdon'thaveanypsiyet
Two large UFOs were detected in the Southern Hemisphere, but we were unable to track them down and disable them.
Then, at the end of May....
This time, however, we're ready.
Bring it, xenos bitches.
