Who ever said he was terminated? O_o
What a disturbing assumption...
That is not what I meant. My question basically boils down to: Is it worth it to set up a manufacturing facility purely with the intention to make money?
1 workshop ($800k)+ 1 living quarters($400k) + 50 engineers ($2.5M) costs $3.7M
50 engineers producing and selling chemoguns all month long make a profit of $1.46M.
Deduct from this your 50 engineers' monthly salary of $1.25M.
That's not a lot of profit. You will not make back your initial investment of workshop, quarters and engineers in a long time.
When you finish the Share Alien Gardens Tech research,After I get to certain point in game and have like 3-4 manufacturing bases which provide more money than greedy, needy, whiny Council.Spoiler:
So let's hear it, what are you going to tell them?
I don't mind you thinking grenades are unbalanced, but anything thrown has a maximum throw distance directly proportional to the strength of the thrower.Thats why its absurd, if throw range is something like "strength minus item weight equals range in tiles", then a 50 tile throw is stupid, each tile is rougly proportional to 1 meter, I would like to see anyone who can throw a grenade that far in real life.
last I checked the files, the AKM did have higher accuracy. +5 across the board. Maybe that's not enough? idk.
2: I am unsure about the code for the flashbangs, but the normal grenade range is actually very well balanced, as it is directly related between the strength of the thrower and the weight of the item, whether or not it's a grenade. Also, I will sometimes use a three-turn delay on my grenades, since I have a pretty good handle on what the ai will do in certain situations. All I can say about guns is that there is already another thread talking about them.They work like a shot weapon I think.
Imagine someone between plasma tanks,auto mortars, multi barrel rocket launchers, scatter laser wielding exoskeleton armored soldiers, trying to deploy an HMG, and everyone is like "hey! this is special forces. we don't do that here... no heavy weapons dude!"At this point of time its gonna be Heavy Machine Gauss, rather than
Yes, smoke exists and is persistent... But smoke is smoke, it only has one type (regardless of source) and many of its features are hardcoded.
Smoke creating weapons (like the fire extinguisher, or gas munitions in Piratez) have special properties, yes, but they only matter at the moment of explosion. Leftover smoke is just regular smoke.
What I meant to say is that:Excuse me? When the invasion starts they literally become the front line, regular army of whole Earth, they have Air Forces, Ground forces, Heavy armor, Drones, Fleet (abridged version) and Orbital defense. If this is not a definition of regular army then I dont know what is. There is no dispute in use of such weapons when the invasion starts, especially in defense missions.
1) X-Com is more special forcer than regular army, so use of such weapons is disputable;
3) I suck at scripting.This sucks though.
I'm not really into weapons. What exactly would it bring to the mod? Could you describe some in-game features they would have?Well you could refine all the MAGMA trash in something more usable, plus slap the "the further the target, the harder it gets krumped" trait.
Miniguns and similar weapons have been radically redesigned so many times that it's hard to say... XD
Frankly, in this form they're more sci-fi than real weapons, so I'm not super concerned with how they work, as long as they follow some basic logic. Would you described would be more applicable to the HMG, though.
Sure we could, but these needs are already mostly covered by M.A.G.M.A. guns.
And while certain recombination is possible, Cydonian designs are literally millions of years old. It's hard to come up with something better in a few years.
Anything else you have in mind?How about more sensor grenades, maybe slap a IFF on top of that? Cause the only "mines" we have are basic grenades.
I think the point solarius is trying to make is, what additional gameplay element would such a weapon add over a recoilless rifle? both are basically just more accurate versions of human weapons. any other differences would be hard to simulate on the battlescape, regardless of how major they are in real life. I guess maybe the weight difference could work, but that doesn't seem worthy of a whole other tech tree to me at least.
The DoT idea is of course interesting, if only it was possible.I dont know why you say "if only it was possible" when its already in game. Check fire extinguisher, the smoke that it leaves deals DoT stun damage. I noticed that when I was extinguishing my agents from fires, the longer I left them in that smoke, the more stun damage they accumulated. I am sure you can find that chunk of code and play with its values to get needed results.
The deployable weapons from 40k are formidable, but I'm not sure they fit XCF.Well you could rework some super heavy weapons, like HMG, BO minigun, Gauss cannon, make some turret variations of weapons that deploy a shield when crouched (not sure the said shield is possible).
Gyrojet weapons - there is the recoilless rifle, anything else you have in mind? (Also, it's not really that advanced.)No, gyrojet is gyrojet, recoilles rifle is recoilless rifle, absolutely different.
