Interplanetary Space Friends - A Game About Space Adventures, Friendship and Fast Food

Well if anyone wants to interact with Toony, shes wandering the ship atm. xD I've been playing lots of XCOM lately.

It took Toony a bit to find her room, this being the first time inside this ship. It was really weird, most of the rooms being at the front of the ship while the back was mostly just ship bits. A few of the pieces looked fairly old and outdated as well, but she was there for security, not to tune up the place. Some of the bees guided her to her room, acting fairly distracted along the way. Mutterings of honey being the main subject of their yammering.

The room she was given was... well lived in was one way to put it. Lots of organic bits everywhere, while most of the electronics was already taken leading only a bed, a table, a few other decorations, and of course, lots and lots of scattered bits of organic matter that Toony decided not to think about. It didn't matter either way, as she got to cleaning and reassembling the room to something she liked. For the rest of the ship, her rearranging, absorbing, and fabricating things in her room was pretty quiet.

Besides a nice soft place to relax and a large screen for viewing things when she felt lazy, there wasn't much else to the room. Sure there were cubes of various elements she had left over around the outside of the room, sorted to make pixel art of various cartoon characters, but besides that it was fairly tame. No real point in anything other than the basics, not like she'd be staying in her room for very long anyway. It was more fun to play with the others!

Though she'd need to figure out exactly what the others were into. The Bees seemed to be into everything, especially honey, so Toony could always count on them for an interesting time. Fiddlesticks... well he seemed to wear his emotions on his sleeve so he ould be into anything. Really the only mystery person was Vanessa. She seemed to keep a distance and to herself. Though she could've just been having a bad day, Toony only knew her for a few hours after all! Eitther way, Toony began to explore the ship, humming a catchy toon as she went.

I'm ready to do ship stuff too xD. Was going to post but then I wasn't sure if three was anything else I had to do with ship stuff.

I'll get a post up when I wake up.

The City of Gems

Well I just had a fun LW mission.

So It was Destroy the Alien Relay. There were 18 enemies on the map, mostly advanced mutons, powerful Advent, and MECs. So what I did was bring the heavy weapons class, the technician, but outfitted them for stealth. Since Fire often times destroys the relay with how it destroys the environment, I snuck them to the relay, called EVAC, then set the relay on fire and managed to get out of there with 3 mutons on my butt, being suppressed by a MEC, and I dunno how many advent/Mutons around the building waiting to get a piece.

These are all enemies with 10+ hp, hit for 10+, and have 75 aim mind you. And my soldier had 4 health. Stealth at its finest! though it is weird stealthing with a flamethrower...

The City of Gems

@Archmage MC
Speaking of which, are you the one adding us into the campaign?
How are we doing?
Also, if you've played XCOM Enemy Unknown/Within, can you compare it? It looks like it's a little harder, but the classes seem much better (creativity-wise) and I like the stealthy element and the cool dynamic kills/killcams.

@HaltingBlooper

For Vanilla, both are really easy. XCOM 2 takes a bit to get used to though but Heavies with their Grenade launchers are amazing.

For Long War...

Its being re balanced here in a bit so wait for the 1.1 patch.

LW from XCOM 1 is easier imo, since the strategy there is Overwatch spam. Here you gotta do the stealthy stuff which can go bad very quickly and there are many many more units in XCOM 2 LW as well as many more missions and far less resources. But no air game so no crapshoot there.

I don't think XCOM 2's LW legendary difficulty is even possible without massive savescumming due to how some of these enemies work there. ADVENT Grenaders and Rocketeers with 24 hp officers all with 80 aim is nasty, thats not even considering the Vipers, Vipers with Squadsight and 90 aim, Mutons with base 10 damage, Muton Centurians with even more damage, and thats just midgame. Lategame you got the ADVENT Heavy MECs, Sectopods (They're puppies compared to LW1 at least), Gatekeepers, and other fun stuff.

At least I'm past finding a Codex. Those things are annoying AF.

The City of Gems

So I've been playing XCOM2 Long War and I'm getting through the game at a pretty good pace. I'm about 40% or halfway done with my campaign. Need lots of supplies to get better weapons as my laser ones are starting to fall off now, but I'm still chugging along pretty well. And now my pain is over. 600 supplies from my supply drop. xD

Made a SPARK named Optimus and got him the Optimus Prime voicepack, it fits so well. And the guy is a beast of a tank. 3-4 armor, 5-6 if he gets shot, and he has 2 more armor coming from his armor upgrades and Sacrifice will give him another 2 armor. 10 armor SPARK is scary. Also hes an asshole. He tends to shoot people in the dick.

Also got a Shinobi named Deadpool. Guy kills everything with his axes if hes not scouting for my snipers. xD

Well things were finally picking up. Leftover boxes coming out and being transported to the ship, a human coming to say goodbye, and... Well, when the Nurr-Sluggi ship passed by, scanning the docked ships for something. When it stopped on the Quest for Flavor, Toony hid one of her hands behind her back and started to form the barrel of a Gauss cannon out of it. It didn't find what it wanted and passed by, Toony turning her hand back to normal when it decided to leave their ship alone.

When Vanessa finally returned, saying she was done packing and it was time to go, Toony followed the group out to the ship. "So lets get going to that party! I'm going to try to see if I can get smashed!" she said with a cheer. Sure she knew that alchohol didn't do anything for her but give her some complex carbon chains to break down, but it was the thought that counted. Though since this was the first time that she was to see the inside of the Quest for Flavor, having only seen the outside of the ship the day prior. "So, do I have a room or do I just live in the storage compartment?" Toony asked, the question coming to her mind.

@HaltingBlooper

Eh, Red was trying to prove herself and was probably the latest of the diamond sisters. Or she was the main conquest diamond, and gave her conquered planets to the other diamonds to manage? Or the other diamonds continued to conquer and didn't know she died til way later? I dunno.

XD omg nooo... I think white will end up being the one who doesn't care about anything and just goes on about her day enjoying her time organizing every little thing down to the second.
Edit: No milli-second

@The1Rolling1Boy

White will probably have a god complex considering the mural.
