XCOM: United Front (OOC / DEAD)

[Anowa]

This'll be fun.

Anything in mind?

A few things, like man portable ClF₃ flamethrowers, chainsaw bayonets, the shotgun equivalent to Raufoss ammo.

A lot can be produced by a sociopathic soldier who read a bit too much 40k while recovering from a head injury.

MEC Troopers would have an optional flamethrower, but we could maybe produce a lightweight variant. Not sure about chainsaw bayonets as that screams Gears of War, but the Raufoss ammo is possible.

It does, but with an elerium battery, they wouldn't be nearly as loud as a normal chainsaw, and if alien alloys are used it could probably eat through most armors.

So you'd take your chainsaw for a one-on-one with a Chryssalid? Sounds fun.

It would be, it'd make things a bit more fair in that regard at the least.

[Theodosiya]

More attachments for weapons?

We're all thinking it so I'm just gonna post it...

[Rogue Orbital Omnium]

Should've posted way earlier I know but I need to take a week to get into a schedule because there's much more I've had to do this week than I thought... permission to whoever to control Michel.

Mission 01: Not Alone

---

LOCATION: San Marcos, Jalisco, Mexico
The primary zone for engagement will be along the town's main avenue. Near the highway the space is open but quickly becomes claustrophobic the closer you are to the town center with many buildings in close proximity that will offer ample cover and places to hide. A shopping center in San Marco's downtown is expected to be the epicenter of non-terrestrial activity.

So I've been using a simple method of determining if the aliens score their hits or not, and I've gotta say they make Stormtroopers look like expert marksmen. Even rolled the same shot three times and the alien missed every single one of them.

[Relikai]

I'm thinking that an XCOM spray could get Milky back onto her feet, but only to be stationary. Probably could provide rear cover for casualty evacuation.

I mean, if you can walk then by all means continue.

When he and his family got in a horrible car accident and while no one died, His younger brother and sister got the worse of it with with severe injuries.

Out of curiosity, how much freedom do I have describing the effects of the combat sim or the spray that the medic uses in the game. So far I've just been assuming that I have a regular health kit, but is there anything specific I should describe the spray or the combat stim (I have played XCOM: EU)? My idea is that I describe the combat stimulant as enhancing strength, reflexes, and pain tolerance. I would also talk about the stimulant as being a cocktail of drugs that if taken too much, would cause a devastating crash for the person's bodily systems. It would be kinda like a sugar rush.

Just asking.

Update: Iskra is up for interaction for anyone at the base. I'm guessing that she has some free time before everyone from the mission comes back and she has to help treat wounds.

I'd imagine the health pack is a mix of synthetic stem cells, platelets, and painkillers. To stop bleeding, heal the wound quicker, and to dull the pain. Combat stims are probably something close along the lines of meth and epinephrine.

Also I learned the respirator provides it's bonus by jamming a metal tube into the user's neck to provide oxygen... I'm kinda glad I (unknowingly) changed it.

Although, If I remember correctly, aren't the EW combat stims only available after killing a berserker and researching it?

...Yeah... You're right.

[Forest State]

Someone should call June for support

Also, I'm going to start working on the app for the other super special character pretty soon. I'm thinking of a Sri Lankan engineer or scientist who fought for the Tamil Tigers previously.

With extensive background checks, would China, who has a large presence in world issues, actually anyone from the LTTE to enter XCOM ?

Don't we have a guy from the IRA?

We have someone from both the IRA and from Peshmerga.

I don't think world superpowers are the ones who are approving or rejecting X-COM members.

Just waiting for an ISIS App where the sniper has killed plenty of Foreign Legionnaires throughout the Middle East, scouted for having connections with unknown powers who sponsored some of the most intricate attacks throughout the world.

I know you're being sarcastic but that would actually be hilarious for character interaction considering that a bunch of us have characters who fought similar groups.
