UPDATAN
The air battle continues. WE're receiving a lot worse than we're dishing out.
Unless we could get, say, MAG WEAPON UPGRADES FOR OUR AIRCRAFT, we're probably not going to be shooting down many more ufos.
In desperation, we eventually decide to send out the Steve Irwin with no escort, since all our interceptors are smouldering wrecks being glued back together with duct tape.
Commander CIS Sis is dragged from her hospital bed. She gets the shotgun, scrooge gets her old sniper rifle back, Imperator gets demoted to Shieldmaiden (thought you could skip your turn, eh?) and Nevill is returned to riflebro status
The actual ufo goes pretty smoothly. The remains of battlebrother Absalom have been interred in the dreadnought, and he is swift to bring his fury to bear on our enemies.
Everyone lines up near the transport craft. Instead of fighting like popamole, we're goign to employ maximum Shepard
A treacherous andron, hiding just inside the door, ends Micoselva with a shot to the face.
RIP MicoSelva :rip:
Bet you wish you hadn't skipped Shieldmaiden duty.
Nevill avenges his fallen sister.
Then Abaslom levels anything that moves inside the cargo hold.
The defenders barely step off the teleportation pads before they are vapourized.
Breaching goes smoothly. With everyone having plenty of ammo and the assault shields being unscathed.
A harridan officer is spotted in the cockpit. Priority is given to capture instead of killing.
All in all as well as could be hoped for. Although our weapons are beginning to show their age.
The eggheads are done researching the alien precision plasma, which unlocks the regular plasma weapon upgrades.
We also have the assault and cannon plasma, which gives us access to MAG weapons. In every way superior to plasma. But I asked the hivemind, and I must abide by their shortsighted decision, even if it costs us the game.
Here is plasma weapons. They're better than lasers, but not nearly as good as what we could've gotten. I'm not going to bother with heavy plasma when a far better alternative will be available in a few weeks.
The workshop figures for what will soon be obsolete are obscene. I may produce a single weapon or two. But meh...
We continue to get raped in the air. The aliens are now sending massive UFOs to sow destruction.
As well as new types of fighters that utterly demolish condors.
We do get a single lucky break against one of the massive UFOs however. The ground squad is sent to clean the site.
And while they're en-route, we get another terror site. Oh joy...
And we'll see how that goes next update. 'Cause my game crashed and I took that as a sign from the powers that be that I deserve a break.

Well, that didn't take long.
I would like to volunteer another recruit for the glorious xenofighting duty. His or her name is Sico Melva.

What version are you playing? I've yet to see the alien assault plasma, so I'm wondering if I'm playing a different version, as in my playthrough, I seem to've surpassed this LPs current tech level in every other respect.
Then again, might it be caused by the "normal" difficulty I chose for my first playthrough?

I'm not provided into detailed information about Xenonauts but you can beat the game? Like say - choose Easy mode (where xeno got accuracy penality) and went to credits?
And welp, Autoresolve 1% - srs bsns.

The real masochism is let's playing between sessions of curling up in the fetal position in my bathtub and puking my guts out. At the moment I can have stints of semi-lucid thought through the pounding migraine and dizziness that lets me play for 20-25 mins at a time. Grandfather Nurgle has been generous with his blessings.
I've marked you for cloning :p
There are a couple of bugs in the version I'm playing (and probably the one you're playing as well).
1) Alien Assault Plasma does not have an entry in items.xml, so it never "drops" after a mission. I fixed that by cloning the entry for alien rifle and renaming it. There's a thread on th eofficial forums explaining the bug.
2) Psions don't need line of sight to mindrape you. As longas ANY alien has LOS, they can make you heed the voice of Slaanesh. Which is going to make our next encounter with Caesans really painful.
3) The final mission is bugged. So we can't actually complete the game without upgrading to the experimental build. And if we upgrade, the save might become corrupted.
See above. The final mission is a buggy mess that likely as not is unsolvable. It's fixed (AFAIK) in the current experimental build. The one I'm using is from january '14. The joys of playing a beta :D

Thanks for NOT posting the url...
http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/9381-MAG-weapons/page3
This bug should be fixed on versions higher than V21 Stable.
Also: bugs in tech tree, making some/all progress impossible? This rings some bells...

But such easy brofists! Just as the quest compass facilitates a player getting immersed in a game, brofists enhance the experience of these forums.

Decline Break, people!
Hexedited Alien Alloys to skip most of ground missions (smallest ufos)
I'm still in 2nd month and my fags are already skilled enough:
Plus, the smalles ones only give like 3-6 AA, so fuck them - I'm waiting for something bigger to finally appear (terror mission where areth thou?)
P. dissappointed that Wolf Armour has identical weight penalty as Jackal Armour:
Which means using the latter is pointless (as long as you have enough AA) - AFAIR from UFO, each new armour type was heavier than the previous one?

Whaaaaat? How do you have three fully developed bases in the second month? Did you hexedit more than just alloys?

Yes, yes he did; look at his funds.
Updatan time!
ROSTER AS OF APRIL 1ST 1980
Aaaaaaaaaand crash! 
Not xenonauts. Just my computer in general in the middle of loading the mission. I loaded the last autosave, but that was from before the wave of UFOs where we shot down the carrier. Oh well. It's probably for the best. Our laser weapons are rapidly becoming inadequate.
More UFOs show up. We take a hammering, but dont' manage to bring any down.
One of the massive UFOs is headed straight for our base!
We can't launch ships until they're fully re-armed. Shit.
Slowest time acceleration and clicking the ufo every 2 seconds. This is going to be really close if we're going to try and take out the UFO.
100%* but still not ready! Shitshitshitshit
Well, this might be the end of the Let's Play folks...
Yes! Done! We get one last, desparate chance to stave off the endgame rape!
The carrier has a fairly wide gun arc. The missile launcher can one-shot a foxtrot and take 75% off a corsair. Everyone hits afterburners and scatters before it! the carrier seems to be tracking the corsair, so the first foxtrot makes a pass to get its missiles off.
But it can't turn sharply enough after getting missile lock. The torpedoes hit the target, but the Foxtrot gets a salvo of plasma fire and goes down in flames.
No matter. It had no ammo left. The second foxtrot swings in to make its pass from further away. Since the carrier is not interested in it, I also disengage afterburner and slow it down to lowest cruising speed.
Missiles away! Fox X is ordered to GTFO
Unfortunately, the Fox decides to GTFO in the wrong direction and I realized this too late to fix.
Both foxes down. The carrier has taken a beating but is still operational.
fortunately, the Corsair can literally run circles around it. It takes a while, but eventually, cannon fire finishes it off!
I'm going to airstrike the crash site. At the moment, we don't need alenium, alloys or anything else but cash and time. Priority will be to get better weapons and enough aircraft produced to astand a chance in the skies.
Medium and large ufos are hunted relentlessly for the cash gained in airstriking.
And ever so slowly, the aging condors are being replaced.
Even alien battlecruisers fall before 2 foxes and a condor.
A new type of UFO is encountered. These bastards can go toe to toe with our corsairs.
And that's february over and done with. Our poor showing in the air negated all the kudos we gained from destroying the two bases.
Aircraft continue leavng Sevastopol. Maybe in march we'll be able to regain some lost ground.
Heavy plasma weaponry, as per the hiveminds demand, is finished. This gives us plasma cannons for the aircraft, but no plasma explosives yet.
An upgraded Plasma Cannon is also developed for the chapters holy Dreadnought
March starts with M. What else starts with M? Massive UFOs with Escorts starts with M.
We're hopelessly outgunned still. I pick the fights we can win and avoid the ones we can't.
Absalom gets our first plasma weapon. This should make him at least twice as (A)wesome as he was with a pulse laser.
Alien reactor tech is finished. I know it's not mag, but it is required to finish plasma weapons research.
We could reeeeeally use those plasma rockets right about now....
Oh sweet Mary and Jesus yes!
We're back in the game, bitches!
With plasma rockets done, we can finally get down to business of developing bigger Dakka. First step is researching the alien assault plasma and plasma cannon.
A flying terror site pops up. The Main fighter squad is sent from Sevastopol to test our new plasma torpedoes
Oh my. That's a big ship. Since we only have 4 seconds of fuel left, I use the haxxy autoresolve to win the combat instead of losing all 3 ships.
Looks like the aliens are stepping up the battle in the skies as well.
The aliens decide to terrorize the people of Rabat. Since we've had time to build some experimental weapons, it is decided to bring back the Kool Krew from their vacation. It's time to dance!
Disembarkation goes smoothly for a change. No aliens standing right outside the dropship.
Xeno spotted! Lizardmen. The full body armor variant are their elite soldiers. Good thing we brought our experimental plasma rifles along.
Absalom tries (and fails miserably) to blast it with his main gun. Hellraiser and Imperator soften it up with laser fire.
And Commander Scrooge claims first kill with our new plasma tech.
Where there are lizards there are motherfucking chrysalid rape factories™. So we write off the civilians as probably dead anyway and don't advance around corners without full TUs.
They brought a motherfucking tank along!
Whatever the tank could do, however, is a mystery. It turns out Captain hellraiser can manage a 100% hitrate with a scatter laser burst!
(A)wesome!
The people who advanced down the south road encountered another elite reptile. they empty their guns into it, but it remains standing.
Fortunately, Scrooge is in the ideal position tosave their ass steal their kill like a n00b scrub.
One of the aliens has had it with our cautious advance. It goes all ALIENU AKBAR! on us. It runs up to Aeschylus and drops a grenade at his feet, taking out them both.
RIP Aeschylus
Your shield does not protect against muslim.
2 Reaper Alpha advanced rape factories are encountered.
Brother Absalom will have none of their bullshit!
I love the smell of terran plasma in the morning. Smells like... victory.
Hellraiser hears the order to go full Shepard is given
And sprays (A)wesome all over the gas station, taking out another elite lizard.
Meanwhile, the king of all faggots is encountered in the south. The building it was hiding in was glitchy as fuck, giving it 100% cover from shots that should clearly have been able to hit it!
Brother Absalom continues laying down the law. While the reptile survived the initial plasma cannon shot, commander CIS Sis followed up with plasma murdershotgun fire.
I hope we're not paying for damages done.
The supreme faggot steps out and takes reaction fire. Neither side is able to hit the other though.
A large group of scalefags burst out of an alley and open fire on Absalom. He is severely damaged, but still functional.
It is time to lay down the law! whatever absalom took out was clearly a structural cupport, as the ceiling collapses on the building.
The cannon lizard and a lesser lizard is taken out. Lt. The Scorpion picks up another straggler with the chapters only laser Sniper rifle.
Having had enough of the faggot supreme, we toss a bunch of plasma grenades into the building he's using as sticky cover.
Apparently there were people in the first floor. Oh well.
More elite lisards try to advance up the road to bring their weapons to bear on Absalom, Hellraiser, CIS Sis and The Scorpion
Which brings them past the sniper alley Scrooge is covering. Good thing too. That was a plasma cannon lizard. Those things can one-shot us if they get close enough to aim.
Absalom is shot at from the darkened building. Another plasma cannon lizard fortunately misses him.
The southern squad spot a chrysalid trying to sneak around the back.
They'll have none of this and set up an ambush around the corner.
The plasma cannon lizard is found and flees further into the building.
The chrysalid moved closer but didn't turn the corner. Nevil gives it a burst of automatic fire and it crumbles to the ground.
Sayonara, lizard scum!
Yet another cannon elite. The combination of cover, needing a ton of shots to die and a gun that can one-shot us makes dealing with him tricky.
A salvo from Hellraiser barely tickles it.
The Scorpion shoots it in the back, but it diesn't appear to notice.
Comte fires a burst that makes it squeal. but it's still standing.
CIS Sis proceeds to give it 2 shotgun blasts to the rear. But this, too, is not enough to down the beast.
The alien misses its shot. A direct hit would've vapourized Comte and Kipeci instantly. The shockwave is pretty nasty as well.
ABSALOM! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
The other cannon lizard finally lands a shot. Our battlebrother goes up in flames.
Kipeci staunces the bleeding.
While Hellraiser finally lands a burst and takes out the cannon lizard in the south.
Meanwhile, the northern cannonlizard is taking pot shots at The Scorpion.
Imperator moves out to spot, and is vapourized.
RIP Imperator
I thought we were in position to kill off the lizard. We weren't.
Scrooge empties her clip and avenges Nevill.
The last alien is encountered and killed in an appropriately (A)wesome way.
Huh... civilians survived? I did not expect that. 2 deaths when the aliens had 6+ plasma cannons, a tank and a bunch of chrysalids is a bargain.
Instead of your thanks, could we have some of those tactical nukes that land on cities we don't save?
The alien plasma cannon is researched, opening up MAG weapons. While the aliens can indeed fire 4 shots from a single clip with these, looted plasma cannons are only good for one shot by xenonauts.
Our first encounter with a grand battleship. since the Dreadnought s out of commision, and half the xenonauts are injured, we continue the policy of airstriking crash sites.
Even with plasma weapons and a full complement of aircraft, we're taking a beating. MAG weapons should help. There is also another aircraft and suit of armor in the research queue. But more dakka must take priority.
March comes to an end. Everyone is happy with us except those faggots in Africa.

ROSTER AS OF APRIL 1ST 1980
Brother Hoaxmetal is interred in the chapters Dreadnought. Even in death, he still serves.
Colonel CIS Sis has swapped the laser Murdershotgun for a plasma Murdershotgun. She remains our most highly decorated veteran, with an impressive 40 kills and having been with us since day 1.
Commander Comte... I'm not actually sure how he's made commander, as his performance has been mediocre at best. His aim Is the main issue, as he shoots like a lizardman. I'm tempted to let him inherit the laser murdershotgun and make him a backup Murderswede.
After a stint as Shotgun Murderswede and Riflebro, Commander Scrooge returns to sniper duty. She's 1 kill away from the Prestigious Order of Terra. She has shown great aptitude for stealing other peoples kills after they soften them up, so I've no doubt it is within her reach.
Captain Hellraiser has a quite respectable kills/missions ratio. Her brand new plasmacaster is fresh out of the forges of Mars. It'll be interesting to see what she can accomplish with it. Her old scatterlaser certainly brought an admirable amount of (A)wesome to the table.
Captain Kipeci has only managed 1 kill in 6 missions. It has been a combination of bad luck and caution on my part since he's fragile as fuck. 63 accuracy is nothing to scoff at though. Maybe all he needed was one of the new plasma rifles to shine. Time will tell.
CaptainAwesome returns to active duty after being in the hospital for 21 days. Since we clearly require more dakka, he has been assigned to carry Hellraisers old scatter laser. Make us proud, sergeant.
Corporal SerratedBiz returns from his 21-day stint in the hospital and straight back to the shieldmaiden duty that landed him there in the first place. Let's hope he's not traumatized.
Lieutenant Nevill has been a pretty solid performer so far. Probably one of our most reliable riflebros outside the Commander Core. I have high hopes his health and accuracy will continue to climb.
Lieutenant The_scorpion has been underperforming since he joined us. He simply isn't living up to his full potential. It MAY be because he joined us during the twilight days of laser weaponry. But I suspect that maybe he's just a little cowardly. Kill harder, or it's back to the shieldmaidens!
SmartCheetah is back out of the infermery. But we're running low on gear. Until MAG weapons enter production, she'll have to make do with a hand-me-down suit of armor and Scrooge's old laser rifle.
And finally, we're joined by private spekkio. I wasn't kidding when I said we were running low on weapons. So he's been given an old rocket launcher and a backpack full of highly unstable experimental plasma rockets. Make it (A)wesome, private.
Colonel CIS Sis has swapped the laser Murdershotgun for a plasma Murdershotgun. She remains our most highly decorated veteran, with an impressive 40 kills and having been with us since day 1.
Commander Comte... I'm not actually sure how he's made commander, as his performance has been mediocre at best. His aim Is the main issue, as he shoots like a lizardman. I'm tempted to let him inherit the laser murdershotgun and make him a backup Murderswede.
After a stint as Shotgun Murderswede and Riflebro, Commander Scrooge returns to sniper duty. She's 1 kill away from the Prestigious Order of Terra. She has shown great aptitude for stealing other peoples kills after they soften them up, so I've no doubt it is within her reach.
Captain Hellraiser has a quite respectable kills/missions ratio. Her brand new plasmacaster is fresh out of the forges of Mars. It'll be interesting to see what she can accomplish with it. Her old scatterlaser certainly brought an admirable amount of (A)wesome to the table.
Captain Kipeci has only managed 1 kill in 6 missions. It has been a combination of bad luck and caution on my part since he's fragile as fuck. 63 accuracy is nothing to scoff at though. Maybe all he needed was one of the new plasma rifles to shine. Time will tell.
CaptainAwesome returns to active duty after being in the hospital for 21 days. Since we clearly require more dakka, he has been assigned to carry Hellraisers old scatter laser. Make us proud, sergeant.

Even in death I continue to serve. Such is my loyalty to Terra.Nevill moves out to spot, and is vapourized.
Scrooge empties her clip and avenges Nevill.

Didn't see that coming with suprsising attack on Aeschylus. Maybe that's sign of their desperation what a joke
