How do use Tactical Pause ?

[HiroZA]

I enabled this in the options menu and then started a new game. but when and where do i get the option/ability to activate the "realtime-with-pause" ? its not hte traditional space bar, that contols weapon states. is there a shortcut i missed in tutorial ?

It's the Team Stims ability that the Support Agent has. It's there among the ability icons, and you could reassign it to the space bar if you want to, though the space bar is by default for drawing and holstering weapons for all selected agents. So you might want to find another key for that if you want space bar to be tactical pause.

If you feel that the Team Stims ability doesn't last long enough, you can have the Support Agent put points into the Leadership skill to eventually get +80 energy. You can also get Hijacking 4/5 for the Hacker in order to hijack commanders, which can have up to +60 energy and extra energy regen. And then there's the Energy Generator V2 chest augmentation, which doubles energy regen, and has a small bonus to energy as well, and a couple of 'Energon Storage Cells' which increase energy as well.
