@Khade - you can try shooting the ghouls while they're on the ground until they're just dead.

Would be useful to be able to remove body's helmets and expose knocked-out people to smoke.

@legion - yeah, bats at first but switched to handles once my hands were experienced and getting Monster awards regularly. Combo with the ... umm... blackswamp? pistols, which seem to have good range and accuracy and stopping power and availability, and I was golden in that pogrom until the armored car turned the corner.

Prior to researching mutant alliance skipping a pogrom does not incur a penalty. After that tech i believe it's -1000.   

Thanks! Appreciate it.

... I need rare earth elements to make more defender armour but I've stopped seeing Save the Lok Narrs, and I never see raiders. ...

Check the rewards of the Bug Hunting / Cave Hunting, I think you (sometimes?) get Rare Earth Elements while plundering for Chitin.

Next question: if i skip a pogrom, do I take a point hit? Is it a partial or the full loss of all civilians (12, at ~ -400) ?

Dealing with a Ratman pogrom (12+ ratman) with two bloodhounds and a tank. Too many targets to be able to save most of the civilians. Can't spread out fast enough without their heavies taking down my people.

Odd implications I'd like to verify:

Is score cumulative, or reset to 0 each month?

Am I losing points by not taking down all aircraft or participating in all missions?

o/ howdy - First playthrough, read very little in the way of spoilers.

Need help: Score went from some negative number to a really big negative number in one month and I got grumbles of leadership replacement.

I'm making money and every mission I participate in leads to me winning with ~200+ points. But, I'm not participating in all missions.

I'm not downing all aircraft (still no guns). But, I'm, most of the time, going after grounded craft.

I often, but not always, participate in missions found via rumors in range. Many missions are out of range of the initial skybus.

I do not have more than one radar nor any of related tech.

There was a strange thing happening recently where lots of red dots were traveling in the air near my base for extended periods of time.

I'm 90% sure there's an other-people (raiders, maybe?) base near mine in Tibet.

What can I possibly do in the next 30 days to improve my score by 700+ points? Why was -500 mentioned in "walk they plank?" I had very little explanation/pop-ups on why my score is dropping, which is why I've generally ignored the monthly score report.

I'm open to save editing (b/c, really, I'd pay off my crew here) or toggling a "get fired at -500 points" feature, but figuring it out in-game seems like a fun thing to strive for.

Thanks.
