All SL positions are filled, alpha is the only one that still needs a specialist.

Also, Delta was almost an entirely female squad.

Ritona beat you by three minutes. You can still lead a different squad though.

Speaking of Ritona, her personnel photo is the first one up!
Yo yo yo, here about my profile pic, Mmmm. I like it, but I change my mind on armor patterns, I want my gun to be grey instead of white and I like my armor to be that Alien or hex whatever it was. As for my gun, I know I said I wanted to be a ranger, but is it possible for me to use only an assault rifle instead of shotgun?

I believe that all types can use the regular rifles, but there are class specific weapons that only they can use. So you CAN use one, but I am not sure if he decides whether that would be a benefit for the squad or not. And again, on my earlier post, I want the only the finest stealthy tacticool armor, perfably with that scarf thing and night-vision operator googles and stuff like that. Sorry for not clarifying that earlier.

Yes that IS possible. By default ranger starts with a shotgun so i'd have to actually go in and change your weapon.

Armor customization is pretty shallow, it doesn't stay the same if you equip better armor either. The helmet was the best i could do in terms of "tacticool"

Delta is the first squad to be completely filled, i guess we know which one is the most popular around here.

Fifteen more slots! Start taking bets on who's gonna die first/which squad is gonna get wiped first.

The deal with VIPs is that they get preset clothing and you can't interact with them much after you actually save them, beyond assigning them to research/engineering projects.

I didn't realize this until after i made the thread so i'm just gonna remove the VIP list. Don't worry though, i'll still make Schneider look kickass.

So with 22 characters and about a day between now and the last submission, I've decided to go ahead without a completely full roster. And to those who suggested it, I've also decided to bump up the difficulty ever so slightly.

You can still ask to have your soldier added up until we win or lose.
