Visit that grey market, and see if we can find some juicy intel. We still need a boatload of scientists and engineers, figuring out where we could get some is vital if we want to get our ocean home up and running.

Do we have an idea on the difficulty of the mission?
Also, what's our current Funds?
Just because we got 500MIL, doesn't mean shit if the projects we need to start also cost hundreds of MIL and we pissed the money away.

>>44814323
then I guess they earned a trip to Africa, we should build a few more duds across the world for shit like that. Give it a "lived in" feel in case Advent investigate to throw them off a bit more.

>>44814398
Anon, no.
We need to bring them to Brazil if we're going to do anything with them.

I'll see if I can put together a list. It'll be a while, though.
Since we didn't have a list of what we lost during after-mission debriefings, it'll slow me down a bit to read through the missions themselves.

You spent most of the flight talking with the Jabar; he was eager to learn more of an experienced soldier such as yourself. You admired his determination, he didn't look like the kind of man who wants too shoot everything on sight. In a way, he reminded you of your past self.

You and your team landed near the site of the resistance. Everyone was shocked by what they saw.

Hey, what did we use all of our Turret Wrecks on?

>>44815709
I want to build another SHIV, but we need to check if we have the resources.

>>44815709
Hey, is the Advanced Processing Unit in our inventory a damaged one, or intact?

We don't have enough alloy. we can process if we want.

fuckin ayy, guys, I go away for a shit breaks and everyone forget the 1st rule to deal with 'lids, pop a fucking flashbang to decrease it's mobility.
You guys....

>>44815904
we don't have flashbangs in the first place

To build GOLIATH-2:
1. Repair Damaged APU = -1 Damaged APU, -50 Alloy, -500K
2. Build SHIV = -1 APU, -50 Advent Weapon Fragments, -100K, -200 Alloy
3. Build UAR Chip = -500K, -1 Turret Wreck

Total Costs:
2 days, 1.1MIL, 250 Alloy, 50 Advent Weapon Fragments, 1 Turret Wreck, 1 APU

Since we only have 110 Alloy, we'll need to process 3 Turret Wrecks, meaning the total cost goes up to 4 Turret Wrecks.

Also, this means that we're low on Advent Weapon Fragments.

We will have left:
145 Advent Weapon Fragments (remember, the cheapest thing we can do with these still requires 50)
10 Advent Turret Wrecks
80 Alloy
NO APU's

>>44815904
We don't have flashbangs, you dumb motherfucker. Keep your stupid to yourself.

>>44815882
we need:

250 alloy/1.1 Mil/50 advent fragment/1 turret wreck/Advent processing unit
>>44815919
oh and this

>>44815792
Go with this >>44815919
Can a SHIV be equipped with 2 UAR Chips for better targeting?
Can a drone be equipped with a UAR Chip?

Can UAR chips be used in Weapon Mods to make soldiers more accurate?

>>44815971
only 1 chip. Yes, drones can be equipped with it

it is there if we want to turn one rookie to a FO

we need more engineers and scientists to prepare the aegis

- Take 25 rookies from our Egypt cell and bring them back.
- Create two field operatives.
- Send a field operative with 5 rookies each to form cells in new continents.

>>44816249
So how do you propose we get more?
Dump millions in the Grey Market on Happyfinder.stor? With the chance that their intel could lead us into traps like the last mission?

Contact Exalt and doing their dirty work for them?

Those are the only ways to get more personnel, aside from sitting and waiting for missions to appear.

So either choose a course of action or shut up.

>>44816282
>in new continents.
Which countries?
You gotta specify this shit, anon.

>Inbe4 we still didn't have any equiped.
That'd be on us for not thinking of creating/bringing some with us but 'lids don't spawn this early into a campaign if this quest was following the flow of the games, sure we could have gotten an early Newfoundland but there was nothing giving a hint until we reached the zone.

>>44816387
And we don't have the schematics for Flashbangs, it's not something we can make.
Your point is based on shit that is not applicable to this game.

>>44816282
In Australia and South Africa

>>44816282
>Send a field operative with 5 rookies each to form cells in new continents
I'm looking back over the archives, and making a contact required 2 Field Operatives, 5 Rookies, and 500K.

So your proposal costs 4 Field Operatives, 10 Rookies, and 1MIL.

[3 days has passed, Advent weapon fragment II, R.E Sniper wreck, GOLIATH-2 has been completed]

New research/Projects available.

>Hybrid weapons [any conventional weapon, 10 ENG, 150 Advent weapon fragment, 500k] Our soldiers will adore this upgraded version of their weapons. Hybrid weapons are light, better , more accurate, can pierce armour to some extent.

>T.A.G sniper Mod [100 Advent weapon fragment, 10 ENG, 100k] Aside from tagging any foe to our sniper's scope, every second shot might home towards the first wound drastically decreasing chances for missing.

>Laser weapons [50 SCI, 50 ENG, 1.5 Mil, 500 Advent weapon fragments, 2 weeks] Commander, we believe that we can reassemble these fragments to create laser weapons of our own. While they don't rely on conventional ammo, we had to implement ELR-GEN as an energy cell due to our poor understanding of alien technology.

>Advent weapon fragments III [50 SCI, 50 ENG, 1.5 Mil, 500 Advent weapon fragments, 2 weeks] With this research done, we can construct better hybrid weapons in the future and we can start a research on magnetic Weapons among other things.

[Cont.]

>>44816290
alright then lets find a pacific atoll and move the aegis there while we create a small base camp and do small repairs

>>44816516
Moving the Aegis requires repairing it and upgrading its propulsion system and hull so that it can actually break out of the ice it's in.
It can't be moved until that happens.

Repairs to the Aegis requires:
50 Engineers
50 Scientists
5MIL
1 Month where those scientists and engineers cannot work on other projects

We only have 29 Scientists and 40 Engineers.

And we don't know how much it will cost to make the Aegis mobile.

Your suggestion is unfeasible and even if it were, highly inadvisable given our current status.
You should suggest something actually relevant and useful.

>>44816589
Oh, and I almost forgot:
Advent and the aliens have complete global satellite coverage. Fortunately, since we destroyed their surveillance program, that coverage is spotty and dependent on alien ship patrols, which they don't feel is required yet.

That means that the Aegis is the most easily discovered base, until the Cloaking Field project is completed.

>>44816433
>And we don't have the schematics for Flashbangs, it's not something we can make.
For all intent and purpose we had the schematics by default when we researched either Advent weapon fragments or Advanced Ballistics since this quest is sense following XCOM's goofy though process. Unless the QM decided it was differrent and didn't bring it up untill now since no one though to ask.

Your point is based on shit that is not applicable to this game.
Again, no one though to bring it up because we all assumed it was following the lore of the game it is based on.

Now would be a good time to explain what we can and cannot do since this is a point I'd like explained why we can arm the Skyranger but cannot create basic flashbangs? We can create modded armors but cannot create flashbangs? It'll only become harder to explain things as time goes on.

>>44816489
Hey, did we ever upgrade the Barracks?
I saw the old Workshop project, but I don't remember ever putting money to it.

"Commander, we have multiple locations that require our attention. Our cell in the united states confirmed A laboratory in Alaska where some of these 'faceless' are created inside it. They confirm a small group of rouge scientists who are willing to help us from the inside should we come and rescue them. In Mongolia, An XCOM sympathizer is willing to provide us with lots of 'lost shipments' if we agreed to destroy an assembly factory there. Finally, We have some reports which lead us to another cloning facility in Portugal only for breeding and cloning strong captains against us. We should choose carefully, commander."

I think we need to go for alaska. We need to know more about these faceless ones. And more scientists are nice.

>>44816691
>we can arm the Skyranger but cannot create basic flashbangs
Because arming the Skyranger is slapping on existing weapons, not making something new.

>We can create modded armors
Because it's adding weapon fragments and bits to already existing body armor.

If you didn't notice, we can't even build regular grenades, rockets, or guns. They have to be bought or stolen.

>>44816721
>>Alaska [[Very High]

What about the cells?

>>44816698
yes

Alright Select Soldiers/Loadout

Both Modded weapons and Conventional weapons can be converted to hybrid weapons.

>>44816931
>Both Modded weapons and Conventional weapons can be converted to hybrid weapons.
But since we only have 145 Advent Weapon Fragments left, we can't make any Hybrid Weapons.
Unless Modded Weapons cost 50 Fragments less to make because of the Mod?

>>44816931
30 rookies is excessive though, is it not?

>>44817034
we can pop 2 MIL to get some artifacts from Grey market if we want the fragments

we're pretty loaded, that's worth a shot if we can take care of that before the mission

We will need 1 Mod Body Armor and 1 Weapon Mod (Millimeter Wave Scanner)

>>44817231
>>44817213
Does it cost the same to make a Hybrid Weapon from a regular weapon as it does a Mod Weapon?

If we make a Mod Weapon into a Hybrid Weapon, does it lose the Mods?

>>44817261
Hybrid weapons can't be moddable. Mods can be attached to other conventional weapons. The cost is still the same.

>>44817234
will we need all these snipers for this mission? I would suggest replacing at least 2 with them with either assault and/or infantry

>>44817302
modded

>>44817309
Nexus-linked snipers would help us take out any base defenses easily, and force the enemy to come to us, as long as we take out their captain to prevent reinforcements.

It could be a problem if there's lots of buildings we need to clear and there's little LOS.

>>44817302
So either we have a Hybrid Weapon that's lighter, more accurate, and fires faster, or we keep a regular gun that has the ability to see through walls (but still can't see cloaked aliens).

>>44817234
i'd like to try that T.A.G. sniper mod for Oleg's
he kind of our center piece thanks to his neural chip

>>44817401
Hybrid weapons are objectively better but not customizable

Conventional weapons are the exact opposite.

>>44817406
>>44817441
Tagging a target only works for sniper rifles modded with a T.A.G., right?

Does a tag alert a target to being tagged? Like it actually does damage? Or is it small, light, and fired with a very reduced round so that it can hit a person without alerting them to it as long as it hits a hard surface like armor?

Giving Oleg's rifle the T.A.G. might mean that only his rifle can benefit from it.

>>44817623
nope, it does little damage since it is a homing beacon of sorts, the enemy won't feel a thing.

>>44817234
We have 495 Advent Weapon Fragments.
We can make an Advent Armor instead of Mod Body Armor to save on Alloy.

Equip Jennifer Colt and Biker with Advent Armor ( -4 damaged Advent Armor, -200K).

Move Cavalry's Modded Assault Carbine to Jennifer, and create a Hybrid Assault Carbine for Cavalry.
-150 Advent Weapon Fragments, -500K

Should we get Adhira a Hybrid Sniper Rifle, put a TAG on Oleg's, or give Oleg a Hybrid Sniper Rifle?

>>44817692
Can the TAG only be fitted on a sniper rifle?
Could it be fitted to a handgun?

A Scout sneaking around, tagging aliens with a pistol for Snipers to all take out could be a good idea.

What if we also added a Silencer Mod to all of the Sniper Rifles in the loadout, so we could take out enemy patrols and defenses without them realizing it?

>>44817781
only for snipers
Mods can not be installed with hybrid weapons

>>44817781
don't we already have sliencers around from the stealth payday mission?

>>44817722

This is what we've got so far.
Do we want to upgrade Oleg's Sniper Rifle with a TAG? Or give him a Hybrid Sniper Rifle?
We have enough Weapon Fragments for 2 more Hybrids, 6 Weapon Mods, or a combination of both.

the map is finished, i am still waiting for you to decide, anons

>>44817856
I don't think so. The loadout that got selected didn't have them.

>>44817880
I think we need to drop pajeet for an assault class

"Strike team, this is central. Whoever is responsible of this facility, he prefers more alien company rather than advent's. We got 4 vipers patrolling around the facility, 2 sectoids ,2 captains and stun lancers. Be advised, Hostiles have deployed snipers of their own with plasma sniper rifle, there is nothing but snow out there...The scientist can provide you with a decent distraction setting the cage and underdeveloped 4 faceless free."

I did an audit, and at the beginning of the Payday thread, we had 395 Weapon Fragments.
At the beginning of this one, we had 195.

So if we had spend 200 Weapon Fragments, that would have been 4 Weapon Mods.

Since we used 4 soldiers in the Payday mission, their weapons most likely got the Silencer Mod.

>>44818066
what are the huge ayylmaos?

Its not sectopods or cyberdicks, right?

>>44818066
6 Snipers, 2 Sectoids, and us without any psi shields.

can we finish load out first please?

>>44818108
they're the faceless

>>44817880
Fixed with Silencer
And adding the TAG Module to Oleg's sniper rifle.

>>44818108
the faceless , it is like the reading comprehension of everyone here is below zero

>>44818217
finally

Now >>44818066

>>44818217
Give Oleg's rifle a Silencer, and Adhira a Hybrid Sniper Rifle.

That way we can pick off alien snipers quickly before they know what's happening.

>>44818275
>>44818217
for not wasting anymore time, we will stick to this for now.

>>44818238
Aw shit, is the loadout already locked in before we can get these >>44818275 ?

>>44818293
we have been in this ordeal for almost an hour now

Rolled 83 (1d100)

>>44818066
we should start with stealth, try to dispatch their best placed snipers and the sneks

>>44818329
at any time, we can call the scientist to release the faceless.

>>44818361
Im just hesitant because theres a risk that some of the scientists will get killed by the faceless

>>44818361
i got that, but let's keep this ace for a little later

Go with a stealth approach.
Keep the SHIV and the squads in cover and as far as possible to not be spotted.

Have Oleg tag targets first, then start picking them off with Oleg and Malik, who have silenced weapons. Start from the sniper up in the upper left corner.

We should Mod the silenced Sniper Rifles with Mods to increase damage.

>>44818361
What aliens are the snipers, anyway? Sectoids?

>>44818515
vipers, they are slick and fast. Sectoids are mostly support units, the risk is mainly high because of the snipers

>>44818572
If only we could have had 3 Nexus-linked snipers with Hybrid Silent Sniper Rifles with TAG modules.

2 Nexus-linked Snipers with silenced Sniper Rifles and a third Nexus-linked Sniper with a Hybrid Sniper Rifle will have to do.

It wasn't pretty.

After the few first shots, both Jennifer colt and Lance Diaz were immediately sniped due to the glaring lack of cover. Tagging sure helped since the sniper vipers always coiled and move to confuse our snipers. The plasma shot went through them to the snow. None had time to react to, their bubbling and dissolving figures wasn't in anyone's mind. Smoke grenades were popped. GOLIATH was yet again another mean of cover .
The stun captain cabled his way towards your squad while the other one was calling for reinforcements. The last Stun Lancer was charging mindless at your squad. You didn't know when the sectoids will reanimate the corpse or panic your solders or worse.....

Rolled 99 (1d100)

>>44819049
snipers continue to counter-snipe the vipers. use Goliath to lay down suppressing fire while moving forward. We cannot get bogged down in the open. Also free the faceless so that the ayys are fighting a two sided battle

Free the Faceless.

Have GOLIATH-2 advance forward a little and everyone get behind it for cover. Have the Goliath fire on the charging Lancer.

Snipers concentrate on the enemy snipers.
Ann should try to throw a grenade at the psi-protected Sniper; a grenade might be able to get through the shielding.

>>44819049
>Jennifer and Lance are dead
That's 2 Advent Armors we lost, as well as 2 valuable Squaddies.

>>44819049
We should have started with dispensing smoke before firing, in order to have some defense.

>>44819349
>>44819171
We should have Derek pop another smoke grenade before this smoke cover dissipates.

The onslaught continued. Another sniper bit the dust, the stun captain cabled his way towards Ann incapacitating her in an instant. Thanks to the training you took in the training school, you managed to kill him.

The faceless were release, confused about this world, they attacked the first thing they saw, one was coming towards your squad. The captain had already called for reinforcements, they will come soon.

The sectoid behind a shield of his kin, managed to panic two of your soldiers.

move our shiv east to block the sniper's FOV and rain hellfire on the sectoid helper
not sure what the other guys should do, maybe shoot the sectoid panicker ?

Rolled 31 (1d100)

>>44819888
one guy throws a grenade at the powered sectoid and the rest take shots at any targets in the open. while more smoke grenades are used for cover

Rolled 48 (1d100)

>>44819734
Have GOLIATH-2 concentrate fire on the Sectoid that's generating the shield.
Have Oleg and Malik concentrate fire on the Viper Sniper that's in the southeast tower.
Have everyone else concentrate fire on the approaching Faceless.

>>44819888
Moving GOLIATH-2 east won't do anything to help against the alien sniper.

We've got a Faceless coming at us, two Sectoids that are targeting our squad, an alien sniper still shooting at us, and inbound enemy reinforcements.

If soldiers can pick up comrade's weapons, have Desmond pick up Ann's Scatter Grenade and throw it at the approaching northern Faceless.

Derek and Brandon, fire on the approaching eastern Faceless, alongside GOLIATH-2.

Everyone else, concentrate fire on the north Faceless and once it's down switch fire to the eastern Faceless.

New research available

>Faceless autopsy [Requires Project Meld first]
>Viper Autopsy I [Requires Project Meld First[]

I have a lot of editing to do.
I guess that will concludes our thread, Thank you for participating.

We lost 250 Advent Weapon Fragments invested in those two weapons.
Not to mention the 4 Damaged Advent Armors.

>>44820760
Remind us next thread that we don't have any Research or Workshop Projects currently ongoing and needs to choose.

We should probably research the Gulper in order to get cloaking tech.
We also need to either spend money or take missions with Advent opposition in order to get more Weapon Fragments, APU's, and armor.

>>44820932
i am still here so we might as well choosing something to research

>>44820961
>choose

>>44820961
Research:
Gulper Autopsy

Workshop:
Nothing we can build with what we have.

>>44820961
Process 2 ELR-GEN Power sources to get 100 Elerium, then start the Alien Materials research project.
