Yes, I did, in episode #87 (called Suicide Bomber)... I didn't appreciate too much what you did to it TBH (no big door, single bottleneck, camping AI)... but maybe I need to play it a few more times and I will find a suitable non-cheesy strategy.

There is actually a second door on the roof, which you could use to storm it, if you have gear to fly.
What does TBH stand for?

tbh = to be honest

I had only one guy in flying gear, not enough for storming :/ also, I threw some proxies there, but nobody wanted to come out and test them :)

Well it depends what kind of race you got, and the FMP has smaller crews. Maybe i need to optimize this.

Well Meridian,
i rechecked the new Labship variant routes, and one of the Maps had a bug, which prevented the aliens using the upper door to exit craft, since one of those buggers was constantly blocking the lift on highest level.

I also found some other bugs but the were minor. They should not only camp now. I did some extensive behaviour testing on this yesterday and:

Spoiler:
In fact, they will now drop down on you when you are trying to enter the craft from bellow, as long as they have no flying ability, some may also wander the roof and snipe you from it.

I will take a break from recording for 5-6 weeks in August and September.

Don't panic, I will record enough episodes upfront and schedule them, so that you can get your bi-daily dose. However, I won't be able to consider your comments, wishes and useful insight during that time... so if you have anything you would like me to do, if you would like to enlist or transfer to a different base or just have some special wish... now is the time to say it.

OK, done, uploaded and scheduled for the upcoming weeks.

Ep #84: Gazer

Ep #85: Heavy Raiders
Ep #86: Good Job Everyone
Ep #87: Suicide Bomber (remind me to send hellrazor's soldier next time)

Ep #88: Medi-gas Grenades
Ep #89: Ethereals
Ep #90: Please Forgive Duncho

Ep #91: Pink Flying Goo
Ep #92: Nuclear Laser Weapons
Ep #93: Holodrones

Ep #94: Stromtroopers
Ep #95: Cerebreals
Ep #96: Waspites

Enjoy!

Yes, thanks for keeping the LP addicts happy while you're away.  I hope  you get plenty of rest and relaxation.

Hi Meridian,

I was wondering which music you are using? I watched the audio config part of the first episode again but it wasn't mentioned there.

Thanks!

Sorry for late reply, I somehow missed this post.

I am using the:
- UFO: Cydonia's Fall soundtrack... already from the beginning
- HQ Sounds (FMP version)... since it came out few weeks ago

All things must come to an end... and so ends also the FMP LP.
You've been a great audience and a bold crew with noble goals and valiant efforts defending human kind against its greatest enemy so far.

Some of you had more luck, some less... and all the recruits now on memorial wall have made the ultimate sacrifice. This sacrifice was not in vain though... as it became a tradition already, for each dead soldier (not including the poor doggies) I've donated $1.

The final fight was VERY intense and is well worth watching:
 1. Cydonia, level 1 (69 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIVdxL-j4Mg
 2. Cydonia, level 2 part 1 (40 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh_vpwL9UuY
 3. Cydonia, level 2 part 2 (25 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Notijuxqu3k
(Last part is scheduled for Friday, i.e. in 48 hours)

As for my plans for the future... don't worry... I'll be playing (Open)Xcom/Apoc for as long as there is someone watching and real-life doesn't interfere (Sidenote: we all miss you IvanDogovich...).

Next week the X-PirateZ LP will begin (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/board,18.0.html).
Except for the first episode (studying Bootypedia), I will try to play a new tactical mission in each episode... probably making the episodes quite long. The game itself however is long (or so I've heard), and I don't want to play it longer than 9-15 real-world months.

There are also many other awesome things around and I will probably start playing more than 1 LP at the same time (starting in Q2/2016). Potential candidates (in the order of my curiosity) are:
 1. Hobbes' Redux (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/board,19.0.html)
 2. Robin's Apocalypse TC (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,3319.0.html)
 3. hellrazor's Expansion (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,3550.0.html)
 4. OpenApoc (https://www.openapoc.org/)
 5. Solar's FMP+ (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2961.0.html)
 6. OpenTFTD

So much to play, so little time ;-)

Cheers,
Meridian
