My gentlemen, who is still playing?

[GIGACHAD]

When I realized biopistol ammo ignored shield, I had a BIG BLAST, no longer devastator barrages that level half the building!

Well I still do but thats beside the point.

What difficulty do you play? I am a lazy bastard, and I play novice. I am ashamed.

[CidDaBird]

Superhuman, need the challenge. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Big B]

Amazing game... Playing an intermediate difficulty

[qcashman77]

After many years of novice I wanted to play again so im trying the intermediate!

[Galf]

I think I will restart one of these days, such a fun game, I STILL love the graphics, it just looks special!

[qcashman77]

anyone happen to remember how to glitch a item there was a way to trade something that was still a artifact and move it to a dif base at the same time or something like that and it would make like 53000 (turned it into -1 and cant be - so it made the max +) of it only did it one time and I cant find how to do it on the internet again >_<

you'll not want for money after the first alien building mission. Camp near the only intact alien tube, blow up the others, camp near the last alien bed, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, autofire devastators for hours then blow up the last alien bed.

7628 cloaking devices and guns.

lol thats awesome the only thing I wanted it for was to make a ton of the small and large shields it always sucks having to make them from scratch when it takes so many to load out your ships I will have to try that trick im almost there but I have been blazing into the game speed waiting to find some personal shields need at least one to study to make more best item in the game <3

[GIGACHAD]

well, once money becomes limitless manufacturing becomes a moot point as long as you can defend the workshops

[qcashman77]

ya i fast tracked my play this game I have been in like October before I ever got much done always was fixed on ranking up the agents

[ShocKa]

Come on guys this game is more fun and challenging when you don't use any of those tricks. Just play fair and don't use any glitches. For me personally most legit and fun way to make more money in game was raiding Cult Sirius bases and farm there Psiclon which is made by Psyke (you can raid their bases as well).

[qcashman77]

thats well and good and i still raid the heck out of Cult of sirius for exp ranks and thats normally how I get my first shields and stuff but shortage of real life time has me limited to raid time but one thing I have done this time was use downed ships as exp fotter to rank up and it helped my need for gearing up my fleet of ships a lot more than I thought it was ever going to :D super helpful

I do this until I reach the alien dimension. Then I farm the first building for massive loot. All legal.

Yay I did it beat the game on med lol BUT I finaly got the queen alive for the first time ever! Figured out on this play that a cloak and tox gun are better than 2 devastators >_< be it useless for taking out walls and such but worked much better over all just wish I could have got a guy to be the leader of x com the skull rank was all that is would go up to oh well good times good times!

I still keep 1 or 2 devastators in backpack for demolition duty or back home to bully sirius

Alien gas minilauncher is a living meme in closed spaces

First playthrough here and I am still far from queen devastator or alien gas.

Raiding is all fun and games, but there seems to be some drawbacks:
- when siruis temple collapses, it seems that it counts as city damage, or am I mistaken ?
- getting ufo downs pisses Sirius, but raiding sirius seems to increase hostility from stellar or synth, is that right ?
- rising score is rising alien level, so after a few raids, here comes bigger ships and pew pews. Hopefully I prepared myself, Xcom good old arm race :)
