XCOM: United Front (OOC / DEAD)

[Relikai]

If I'm not wrong, 1 point of damage = 2-3 days out of action.

Then again, there were an average of a mission a week.

[Ubaria]

I was going to have Bravo 5 and 4 breach through another rear doorway too, but i can change that to fit the situation.

[Ammerinia]

Just wondering, would this still be an optimal time to join?

Sure, we're still at the start of the story, barely into mission one. If your app is accepted before mission one is complete, there are a few characters at the base you could interact with.

What's June supposed to do? Did Seta mean Charlie Six instead of Five?

[Theodosiya]

Whoops. Gonna edit it. June and Stefanos task is to protect Kaiden, who are ordered by Seta to occupy the sniper nest. Seta and Vasily tries to come to Bravo 2/Miyuki aid.

True that, apart from the OP I think team base/off duty has around three people. Kinda quiet at the moment now though with the mission's engagement kicking off

Then again it does depend upon what the injury is and what XCOM's medical facility is like. Broken ribs take about 6 weeks to heal. Then we need to talk about prosthetics since I think someone's arm and leg are beyond salvaging since the weapon burned through the flesh. Just thinking about these things, both of my characters are medical professionals.

I was just going by the game logic, they don't explain it but you can have a soldier bleeding out in the middle of the street and they get saved by a comrade or the mission ending and they are only out of commission for 6-10 days. As for the prosthetics... those come later.

Usually a soldier would be labeled 'gravely wounded' and take 18-38 days to heal... Then again I haven't played vanilla in quite a while, so.

[Anowa]

When we kill an alien we should denote which one somehow. I'm assuming Anowa killed Sectoid 7 but I can't be sure...

Yup, I'll add which aliens I kill from now on at the bottom like Broken Line.

Question - Would the armour have a quick-release catch for the wearer to activate upon an emergency situation where they'd have to relieve themselves of it?

Most combat vests possess one so the wearer could pull in cases of drowning and whatnot, not sure of XCOM's armoured hulks.

>Armored hulks
We aren't quite at Titan armor yet, I think we're wearing either Carapace or Skeleton armor.

But yeah, I doubt that'd be absent.

Really? I thought we were at the standard issue armor. But I guess what armor we are wearing is up to Beia's call.

I don't think a plate carrier can deflect a full mag of 7.62x51 NATO

If we just got the grappling hook that means that Skeleton Armor is now available. But if we really are wearing carapace armor.... why didn't someone research laser weapons prior? I think a few people would like to use laser shotguns in this outfit...

Because I don't think we've researched Elerium yet...

..I'm probably wrong because of Long War, but whatever.

I pictured us in standard issue armor for the time being. Figured it would be far superior than anything currently in the market, and as to withstanding a full mag of 7.62x51 NATO that was under an ideal situation in the gun range. The protective plates cover vital areas but have weak spots, especially at angles where the armor is more open for maneuverability purposes.

As for research, the plan was that after each mission (for the most part) several research options would become available and there would be a vote. The winning selection would then become available with the others going back into the rotation. Research won't necessarily follow the game's tech tree and will include custom items as well. Off the top of my head I know that the Reconnaissance Drone and Tactical Rigging 1 (and two others that were briefly mentioned in a Sunday post) will be options. As the story progresses we'll get access to more cool stuff. Plus this would give everyone some say on what we have instead of me simply giving everyone the best of the best right off the bat.

Things have gotten worse. I hope I don't have to drop out of these RPs.

.....

Interesting, I look forward to seeing our progress.

[Anowa]

I ask again since these details hinge on it, but is Barbs wearing Titan armor or no?

If so, judging from this chart, the following would have to have been researched:

• Weapon Fragments
• Alien Materials
• Carapace armor
• UFO Power source
• Elerium
• Titan armor
• Experimental Warfare

Meaning there are a lot of things missing.

Also I ask again since this is kinda important, but is Barbs wearing Titan armor or no?

Just regular ol' armor like Bei says.

Could've sworn his Skyranger intro mentioned shining armor from head to toe. I was mistaken. The chart should still help plan things out though.

On another note, Beia, are the soldiers allowed to make development suggestions?

I mean, throw on a helmet and XCOM armor does conceal a lot. Not like we're out running around in kevlar vests. And yeah, feel free to make suggestions. Find something lacking then bring it up with Engineering and they'll see what they can do.

I hope not, but if anything you're characters will merely be placed as inactive or NPC status since you have a very good reason for being away for some time.

This'll be fun.

Anything in mind?
