Good/bad news. Comp wasn't completed today, but now I have newfound motivation to KILL ALL FUKKEN XEEEEEENOOOOOOOOOOS!

A new let's play of X-COM will happen soon. Keep those names a' comin'!

EDIT:

Gonna start in Egypt and name the base Fort Autism. Will go through my list of names to name the rookies. Anyway, to answer some of your questions...

1. Read the OP before you ask any questions (I'll update it with some more details)
2. I have no way of capturing video.
3. Can't run EU on my comp all that well (this is one of the many reasons I'm upgrading from this dusty toaster)

WE'RE IN THE PIPE FIVE BY FIVE

► Show Spoiler

We land in the desert, and after popping smoke, we're under fire! Dennis Hunt is our first KIA! The troops in the Skyranger disperse, sighting an alien near its downed craft. Knight, while trying to search for the xeno that fired into the craft, is shot! He spots the alien, and it is quickly dispatched by Bill Carson.

► Show Spoiler

We are under relentless assault by the aliens! Ulysses Meat fires his grenade launcher and kills two sectoids near the UFO. Jack Knight has been killed. Shields and numerous others are wounded. Cutter manages to kill a sectoid with his flamethrower.

► Show Spoiler

Jesus. That did NOT feel like six aliens.

► Show Spoiler

Purr-motions.

► Show Spoiler

Medals awarded

► Show Spoiler

The first deaths of many, I'm sure. ;_;7

Prioritizing researching Alien Alloys. We need to get some armor on our soldiers, even if it's just a blue vest and helmet.

Producing alien alloys to make some alloy armor. Researching Alloy Munitions to give our rifles more kick.

Oh, shut up Brazil. What do you want me to do? Also, something tells me we're gonna get a fuckin' terror mission a few days in.

► Show Spoiler

Well call me a fucking psychic.

► Show Spoiler

(We can't deal with this. Not yet. Especially if it's sectoids/cyberdiscs.)

We do the classic trick of going to the terror site and immediately pulling out. Somehow, Joshua and Carson are promoted to Captain.

Alloy Ammunition has been researched. We can now manufacture alien alloy based munitions for our ballistic weapons.

Very little UFO contacts. What we've gotten so far is mainly just little scouts.

We're out on our second crash site investigation, and we're dressed for success.

► Show Spoiler

Let's hope it doesn't go as awry as last time.

► Show Spoiler

Good dog. Our attack dogs get two sectoid kills.

► Show Spoiler

FIRST BLOOD! And second blood. At least for our operatives and not our dogs.

► Show Spoiler

GET 'EM BOY!

► Show Spoiler

CUTTER, BLAST 'EM!

► Show Spoiler

Good job, boys. No casualties and we got some good loot.

► Show Spoiler

Joshua and Cutter are rising through the ranks.

► Show Spoiler

WHAT DO WE RESEARCH THERE'S SO MUUUUUUUCH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

► Show Spoiler

Well, out of the pan and into the fire as they say.

► Show Spoiler

Need more names. FEED ME NAMES PEOPLE

The aliens are throwing new species at us! Autopsies later reveal that these are called Chtonites.

► Show Spoiler

After spotting multiple contacts near the craft, I order the men to move up and take cover in the crush. Alas, our two attack dogs, Champ and Fido, were killed.

► Show Spoiler

Kayto Shields is engaged by a Chtonite! One of its shots miss, but the other connects! Thankfully, Shields is able to shake it off and takes no damage.

► Show Spoiler

We manage to clear out the UFO, but at what cost?

► Show Spoiler

Promotions

► Show Spoiler

Truly one of the best soldiers so far in this LP. Werry saved them earlier too with cover with his LMG, but alas, during the breach of the UFO they were gunned down.

► Show Spoiler

Well, after selling some surplus alien kit, we can start a new base with this money.

JuanRico · Post by **JuanRico** » 17 Mar 2016, 02:19

I'd be interested to see how you''re progressing, OpenXcom is a pretty hard and unforgiving game compared to the modern, hardly comparable, 3D XCOM games.

Also, Juan Rico for the Skyranger death-squad please!

DernSquirrels^3 · Post by **DernSquirrels^3** » 17 Mar 2016, 13:26

Alright lads. I've built my computer over a month ago and haven't been very active on SS13 or this forum in general. Thankfully I uploaded my OpenXcom files to google drive and it's been sitting on my hard drive and I haven't touched it. I'm considering doing another run without Final Mod Pack as that mod makes everything a lot harder and it's a nice breath of fresh air playing the game lightly modded. So, I'll update my names roster and see what I can do.

John Donable would like to sign onto this fight, to protect humanity.

Toss Jacob Blackpool into the mix for me, and hand him some medical gear and a shotgun when the chance arises.

Good luck and happy hunting.

If we were on "Fort Autisism" do we gotta re apply or are we on this run too?

Nah, I've got a giant roster for all the names simply because I ran outta them pretty fast in the last few runs.

Will start a new run tonight most likely, using lightly modded OpenXcom.

Gimme a suggestion for the base location and name.

EDIT:
Here's the roster of soldier names so far.

DernSquirrels^3 · Post by **DernSquirrels^3** » 21 Mar 2016, 18:44

ALRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS HERE WE GO

Rules of this run:
1. The difficulty will be veteran ironman
2. This will be a lightly modded vanilla run (no FMP this time around)
3. I will post screenshots and give updates on progress
4. Feed me names. It doesn't have to be your CM name, it can be funny too
5. I'll try to leave what to research up to you guys

Fort Autism is a go!

► Show Spoiler

Rushing laser weapons. Gotta get dat dakka.

Requesting names for these flyboys.

► Show Spoiler

Laser rifles get. Armed to the teeth, these fine meatba- I mean, soldiers are gonna brick the asskickin' to the enemy!

► Show Spoiler
