/vr/ - Retro Games

How are people's games going? In my game I've got a mixed bag.

Psionics is up and running and I have about a dozen psychonauts with above 85 psi strength, and even a couple of 100s. They're skilling up by panicking and mind controlling Sectoids and Mutons. I've got an Avenger built and all tactically relevant research. I have a base adjacent to a Sectoid base so I can hope over and loot their supply ships, which is hilariously easy if you use a blaster launcher to blow a hole in the ceiling of the bridge and then blow the bridge itself. No psi-attacks if you do it quickly, and the lower ranks will start panicking, dropping their weapons and killing each other.

All in all, victory is all but inevitable, providing nothing utterly horrific happens.

So... I've been shooting down Ethereal scouts on Infiltration and Retaliation missions for the last month.
The Infiltration operation just sent a Terror Ship, which I've shot down and am about to engage, but they seem pretty determined. Ah, well, it's endgame so funding isn't that high a priority.
The Retaliation operation just went from sending scouts to scout out my main base, to sending Battleships to scout that I have no hope of shooting down, so Base Defence is probably imminent. My main base is a fucking mess, just the standard starting layout that I've dumped something onto almost every square of. I'm currently juggling items between my bases to try to make sure blaster launchers spawn. If not, I'm stuck with laser rifles, heavy lasers and rawket lawnchairs. Wish me luck.
