Synths - Space missions (besides interruptions). There is always a small chance for loot.
Gnomes - I think that you can only capture them in missions where they are the main target.

Besides, thread "A thread for little questions" exist, you know?

It is much MUCH better to ask questions in separate threads.
The title clearly says what the question is and you can search for the same/similar question asked by someone else.

Nobody will ever find any answers in the "thread for little questions", they are lost forever... and people will ask them over and over again.

Synths you get from space missions, but you'll still need the proper tech to actualy use them, IIRC.

I've never seen a synth :'( :'( :'(

Post by: JustTheDude/CABSHEP on August 29, 2019, 07:11:35 am: Gnomes are basically smaller version of Gals, so they fit perfectly in tanks, which makes them a bit OP. Tank with its armor and resistances, and on top of that Gal HP pool and mostly the same stats cap. Nothing will be able to damage this if played atleast a bit smart.

They have a huge bravery % (like 200% or so). They also have a high Psi resistance. Therefore they are perfect for piloting the XEC Exorcist and firing its Dead Ray.

Don't drink and drive. :)
