The first time we managed to shoot down a UFO - harvester:


Maps like these are the most dangerous:



A close call for our dropship - was attacked by an alein fighter while over the atlantic. Good thbng we scrambled our Stilletos. It was a VERY close call, not only becaue the dropship barely came back in one piece, but also because stilletos were barely in range!



FireSpawn poses with his new nanocomposite armor and Heavy Pistol:

Not showing the stun rod, but it's a great piece of melee equipment. Firespawn captures quite a few aliens with it.
We now got the Electro-laser for it tough...

A dangerous night mission:




We can now use the full range of alien stuff - plasma grenades, plasma pistols, plasma rifles and plasma blasters.
We also got 5 bases in total now ("Amazonia" in south america and "Down Under" in Australia.
Laser weapontry for aircraft and base defences has been perfected, and our first new aircrcaft should be operational shortly (I really should have tackled that before)
Ortnoks now come in a heavily armored variety - and they are exceptionally difficult to kill. Full auto fr oma HMG can't bring a sucker down!

[Rodo]

yay! we're back in business.

I was missing this thread.

Uhh, can I get transferred to Amazonia? I'd like being closer to home

[TrashMan]

Well, currently Amazonia only has a defense garrison...
I can transfer you, but then it would be you with a bunch of n00blets.
I'm honestly tihking of merging it back to two teams to everyone get get a decent amount of action.


As you can see by the above numbers, I have been autoing and avoiding missions just to move things along at a more sane pace.
But I will start making more in-detail reports.

[Rodo]

Na, then it's fine, I'll stay where the action is.

Some more images from our adventures:

Team 3 fighting aliens in the forest




Team 1 on the offensive in the suburbs


Aliens can tank missiles now easily...

but we still win. Cause we are AWESOME.


Team 2 fights against the glitched map.
Unfortunately for the aliens, the lone troopers is this time Laporte...and she has enough TU to lob 6 nades per turn at the UFO entrance

So she does

Team posing, cause s*** got real:

Clearing out the lat of the alines:


Team 1 doing a night clensing mission in a middle-eastern town.

You can see Dekker decking an alien with the plasma rifle. Inaccurate as hell, but a full-auto from it is non-survivable.

Troopers below have trouble and have run out of TU'. Firespawn to the rescue


Pattented V for victory formation




Team 1 in the hills

I didn't notice the stairs so I sent everyone (except Scope) around. Then an all-ortnok team emerged from the house. At this point I tohught we were doomed.
They hold the high ground and my tam is scattered.

but we are team AWESOME

Count the dead aliens at the stars near the dropship. The team can put out some very accurate and deadly fire when pressed.

Firespawn in his element:

Not that he needs a windows - heavy pistol rounds can go trough a wall. And we have momomolecular blades to boot.


Team 2 clensing a industrial warehouse


They cluster nicely at the doors, don't they? Perfect target for explosive ordinance


Alas, firendly fire is no unheard of. The poor civilian is killed by one of our own troops.


Kaboom! Everyone loves 'splosions!



And the heaviest enemy units arrive:


The canm take a obscene amount of firepower to bring down. Luckily for us, we have obscene amounts of firepower!

[Rodo]

they all have nano armours, niiice

Poor aliens, now they've got a tough ride ahead.

[TrashMan]

And you still have the highest kill count...but not for long!

You want a plasma blaster, flamer or a HMG Rodo? Heavy Needler and XAW95 won't be available till the game sends out some more advanced alien troops.

I already researched everything there is to research

[Rodo]

I love the HMG, the blaster is good but I don't like the firing options it's got.
I'll bet the killcount is because of the HMG, that thing slaughters unarmored aliens on full-auto.

[SpardaSon21]

Will I be able to upgrade to a more advanced shotgun soon?

[TrashMan]

I had you carrying a sniper rifle for a while, since your char has a very high score with it (actually, your char has all-around great weapon scores).
Close-combat fighters are penalized because of lack of proper late-game weapons.

I can give you a heavy pistol like Firespawn has (hes in a different team anyway). Or I can go back to the shotgun. Not very effective against armored aliens mind you.

[TrashMan]

I love the HMG, the blaster is good but I don't like the firing options it's got.
I'll bet the killcount is because of the HMG, that thing slaughters unarmored aliens on full-auto.

HMG it is..Wait till we get the XAW95
It's WAY more killy    There's a reason the devs dumped into multi after I made it..

[Rodo]

I like killy weapons, and the name does make it sound like an impressive weapon.
Consider me interested

[SpardaSon21]

Well, if there's no good late-game close combat weapons, I'm okay with headshotting alien scum with sniper rifles and any upgrades of those.

[TrashMan]

I like killy weapons, and the name does make it sound like an impressive weapon.
Consider me interested

It is VERY killy.

[Rodo]

ohh... gatling type?
hot damn, I want one!!

[BengalTiger]

Replace your assault rifles with lasers.
The aliens will be p!$$ed that they get hit from the other edge of the map and can't do a thing about it.

[Thaeris]

You know, looking at screenshots, and how the action seems to play out...

Why hasn't a Warhammer 40K mod been made from this engine, seeing as it is in fact open source? I'm thinking it would be quite simple to implement many of the rules and aspects from the tabletop game to this one... you know, if the world was perfect.

[crizza]

Yeah, like Terminators crushing through walls or warpsipder jumping around the map...
But if this is the case...I want to be an assault terminater:P

[TrashMan]

You want Wh40K: Chaos Gate - that0 a tactical team-based woK game







but I would love to see a 3D engine tabletop game...so you cna play 40K without buying a huge army of models.
Like Vassal, only in 3D and more automated
