Since I imagine some people here are very familiar with that site...
When a Lobsterman (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Lobster_Man)'s armor stat is listed as 8-26, what do those numbers mean? Lobsterman's armor is supposed to be (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Alien_Stats_%28TFTD%29) 20, so I am not sure how to read this formatting.

the answer is in the ufopedia :)

The core values are multiplied by 0.4 for Beginner, 0.7 for Experienced, 1 for Veteran, 1.1 for Genius, and 1.2 for Superhuman.
0.4*20=8; 1.2*22=~26

Oh, didn't realize the armor relation to difficulty is different in TFTD. Thanks!
Soooo these things are going to totally shrug off Gauss Rifles. Emergency change of plans! *alarm signals going off in the Workshop*

This is the big reason I skip gauss completely when playing TftD. To down a lobster, 2-3 shots with a Sonic rifle, 1-2 Shots with a sonic cannon, most times.

I'll probably still use gauss on my cannon fodder, while the MC-strong troops in the back hold the real weapons. Just so the scouts don't kill my Psi-men when mind-controlled.
Still, a shame. I /like/ gauss weapons: their look, sound, general feel. Can't wait for openxcom's TFTD, so I can fiddle with resistances.

Thermal Shock Launchers were usually the best ranged weapons against them, short of a DPL.

Same here. I already have a bunch of graphics ready to go for an expanded gauss arsenal mod. Just need hand object graphics and ruleset entries.
