Crus8r Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I really liked SupSuper's idea, and thought there might be some interest in a TftD game as well. So without further ado... I'm thinking of starting a TftD superhuman/ironman(no reload) game with the aquanauts named as forum members to see how things go. You will be able to requisition equipment (subject to availability/tactical need) and suggest tactics (subject to tactical situation/commander's perogative) Killed auqanauts will be revived by replacement with a fresh recruit, appropriately named, with a number appended to count how many times he died :wink: So what are ya waitin' fer? Grab yer gear and do yer part to defeat these alien buggers! Game reports and equipment requisitions will be in the saved games and missions forum, this thread is for signup. P.S. Since, IMO, TftD is impacted much more by the decision, I invite opinion as to version and use of xcomutil for this game. -Crus8r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to stay back, climb a high vantage point at first chance, and open support fire for those aliens that survive first contact with scouts (if necessary, I'll use the grenade before climbing that point to assist the scouts).

Cpl. Facehugger Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Rookie Facehugger: A rookie from the first alien invasion who, as of yet hasn't faced a single alien in battle. Now, through some funky timetravel stuff, he has cloned himself so he can be in TFTD and Xcom at the same time. When choosing his underwater equipment, he notices the gas cannon, a much improved version of the heavy cannon of his landlubber days. Give me: 1 Gas Cannon with a AP, HE, IC clip each. No 'nades. Sonic cannons become available, drop the gas cannon and go wild! Off Topic: I notice someone else likes Baldur's gate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[NKF] Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 The gas cannon's a good versatile (and all terrain) weapon that can still kick alien rear ends later in the game (except the lobstermen). If you're worried about friendly fire, the AP shells are pretty good. But once Ion armour becomes available, you won't even feel the backlash from the HE shells. Great combination there. (and the fact that HE shells can go through ceilings... if you cannot get there because the stairs are out, you can still blast the alien to small easily portable bits and store them in zip lock containers to retain their freshness for six hours shelf life! Of course, once gauss and sonic weapons become available, I'm sure there'll be an exodus from the cannons to other weapons. I'm rather interested in moving on to using dual pistols later on. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonaleth Irenicus Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Later in the game, if I have done my job correctly, I will have enough accuracy to use "less accurate but faster" weapons with ease, so don't slap a bulky sonic cannon in my hands. Really, I see no use to these weapons apart from the fact that later in the game they are the only ones you can find ammo for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoni Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 ME too me too!!!! I play cautious. I like aimed shots from safe distances. I also like tossing grenades and crouching next to the alien's sub door waiting for something to come out. I'm used to taking orders so I'll do about any of the lousiest jobs.I son't like rocket launchers (too heavy), dart pistols (too weak) or hydro jet cannons (don't work on land), apart from that I'll use anything, be it weapons, ammo or equipment.You can also give me a motion scanner if you like.

Cpl. Facehugger Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 The problem with the torpedo launcher is that it only works underwater, severly limiting its effectiveness. Especially because terror missions are the ones where you really need explosives. That is why I bring a Gas cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 UnknownWarrior wants to change from a dart pistol to a gauss pistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[NKF] Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I actually like the pistol weapons, but the dart pistol... eh, its just an overglorified paper weight when compared to the gauss pistol and sonic pistols. Actually the launcher is okay, but the ammo is what ruins it. --- On to other matters: Could we have a cache of 'redshirts' that can be used to replace any Player Characters that are lost in battle? This would mean that soldiers can be replaced a lot faster than having to wait the full 72 hours for a new recruit to arrive and instead get a new recruit as fast as a triton can travel. We probably don't have those sort of resources to maintain such a thing now, but it would useful in the near future though, would't it? - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Dojo 58 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I like redshirts, but I think you should still wait 3 days to be revived. As a sort of punishment, for using dart pistols. BTW, I still want dart pistols. Nothing is going to stop me from killing at least one alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crus8r Posted March 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I've updated the list with our new recruits. I'm in favor of having 'redshirts' as well, so I've hired several extra recruits...enuff that next mission should see more promotions. I'm thinking that when we get MC labs, I'll use the redshirts to prescreen rookies to eliminate the guys whose MC strength is only slightly higher than jello from the pool - Crus8r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan2 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) I guess I came too late for this. Oh well, anyway, I prefer to shoot with a Thermal Shock Cannon and before it is available a Gauss Rifle on auto mode will do. If the frozen alien is not useful alive, I volunteer to move it to a safe, empty place, arm a Sonic Pulser and leave it with the alien before I ran to a safe distance to hear the lovely noise the alien will do. I get any good armor available and I have one request. Before I shoot, I ask for a second chance, I mean, please, save first, then shoot and if I don't wear my glasses that day, a second chance is welcome.Oh no... I forgot, you don't want to save.
