PSI preferences....
« on: June 22, 2014, 02:19:36 am »
So,as we know, the PSI labs takes time to research.... Build..... Then wait another month just to find out the capabilities of your soldiers.... Not easy or convenient for most of us but I wondered, what are your preferences....?
Go vanilla or use the options to make life easier to screen the soldiers?

Having suffered for years from Ethereals, at some point I decided I prefer to use line of sight psionics only. I think it's playing better for me; it's not about difficulty, it's just that the original alien psi mechanics has always felt simplistic to me. Besides, I no longer can relax at the back of the craft while my tanks scout everything for my psi-ops.
Other than this, I'm playing vanilla.

I used to hire 100s of soldiers picking out highest bravery and in the mission, if a soldier's morale becomes affected by psi attack, well he/she is either killed (on my orders) or sacked immediately after the mission. I have a very tender memory where landing at a alien base, first turn is psi attack which controlled my best soldier and he primed the bomb inside my craft...... Doomed before I had a chance.

In the original game(s), I used to save, put soldiers in psi lab, fast-forward until I get the information which I write down on paper, and reload.
