Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
It's my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed- not with all of you. [XCom LP III]

Just stand still. Don't move. Don't breathe. Don't blink. There is a chance he might not see you if he can't detect the motion.
Now imagine Rank as one of those statue aliens from Doctor Who. Thanks. Like he needed to be more terrifying. I already have nightmares and I'm still in the pilot's lounge.
High alert status: casualties imminent, prepare for more raw recruits!
Edit:
apparently there is gonna be a fps based on XCOM. http://kotaku.com/5516654/x+com-is-back
Sounds a lot like X-COM Alliance.
I for one am proper excited now
aw shiiiiiiiiiiiiit
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
Was my I.D. ever registered with Theidar's Hostile/Friendly Delineation database?
Guys?
This thing is the safety, right?
What? No I cleared marksmanship, you know, back in basic. Just, you know, haven't had field time with recent weaponry.
Huh? Um, sixteen years ago.
Mostly analytics. Logistics. Supporting the war effort. I won a commendation last year for reducing shipping container wait time 23%.
Yeah.
So this is the safety?
Guys?
You make it out of this alive, and i'll do what ever it takes to get you on contact team ratio.
There might be casualties, but the alphas won't even know what hit them. Just whirl of reinforced armour, plasma and high explosives.
Proper fucked.

I'm topside with the rest of the reserve pilots. We got beer in coolers waiting for you guys.
And if that fails, slowly, VERY slowly, offer him morphine. He'll still likely kill you, but it might be less.... romantic.
...Wait, we've got beer? Why did no-one tell me this?!
Oh, and anyone else in the reserve pilot's lounge want some popcorn? I think this is gonna be interesting to watch...

yeah man pass that shit
Strategy Spoiler
1) Tried not to leave any X-Com soldiers in clear line of site of any enemy at the end of a turn.
2) Was patient about killing the majority of the enemy OUTSIDE the ship, reducing the remaining ones to near-panic levels of morale before boarding.
Generally speaking, Blaster Bombs can't be fired unless there is an unobstructed path and at least one enemy has a clear line of sight on a soldier. Also, a panicked enemy will usually drop their weapons rendering them harmless. Finally, most guys carrying the launchers don't usually come outside. They like to stay near the bridge or engine cores.
Now, all that being said, I don't recall ever seeing a Launcher on the floor in any of those missions, nor have we received a tech report on them, so there is some chance that he simply hasn't seen one yet - though that does seem unlikely after two full battleship raids.
Well the "lounge" is now the couch in the back of the mobile command post which has a dozen NATO army divisions between us and Wubble Woo. However we got beer, popcorn, and live closed-circuit tv feeds directly into the base. Good luck guys, we'll keep some frosty for you. Oh and the nurses said hi Rank.
Meanwhile Bogey and MechMantis are just circling the base in their interceptors, unsure if they'll ever be able to land again...
I'll be there for a beer after this shit is done.
Hey, don't look at me man, I just followed the blue line to the surface and found a bunch of guys in berets standing around. Guess the EU doesn't like to take chances. Not that they can really do much if Team Ultima goes down.
Actually, if that happens I fully expect Theidar to detonate the nuke that it had surgically implanted into Rank's chest. Come to think of it, I'm going to mention they move the mobile command back a couple of miles...
The coke's starting to taper off.
And I only brought like thirteen grams with me.
That won't last me three hours, at this rate.

{speaking through Rank's headset} I just checked with Dr. Computer Generated Faggotry, he says he left some "primo shit" in his office. His words. It's under the porn mags in the bottom desk drawer.
While true...
Still a very painful thing in a base defense though, as there are no real walls to hide behind...

Orikaeshigitae: That one incinerated too!
Vivixenne: I guess they're playing for keeps.
Wow, Ori killed two on his first volley. 10 bucks says he doesn't live through the mission.

Seta 3000: Affirmative.
Seta 3000: Nope.

Seta 3000: At least one out there, and if I can see one, there's probably more.
Moriveth: Dammit. Iolo, stay put. We'll get you out of here.

Dubh: On my way!
Dr. Monsterror: Ready to assist!
Fallout: Doctor? What are you doing here?
Dr. Monsterror: What, you think I'd trust you muscle-bound leatherheads to be able to protect our delicate research here? Don't worry, I can help take care of myself.
I.H.N.I.W.T.R.: Jesus, are those incendaries?
Dr. Monsterror: Kind of.
Fallout: Winter! Take a firing position!
I.H.N.I.W.T.R.: Yessir!

Vivixenne: Three or four. There's a lot of them out there; I don't think I killed any with that blast.
Moriveth: Shit.
Moriveth: Are you all set here? They're coming in right behind me.
Burning Organ: Don't worry. I brought backup.
