Good advice, and solid.
Base design advice, way overdue: build the bases in a shape like this:
H H H
E
Other stuff
H is hangers, E is elevator. The reason is that the aliens can only enter in those two module/expansions/you know what I mean. Building bases like that funnels them...
Let me restate that: How long, as in series and missions, is Standoff? I'm not asking for a release date here, I know they're working hard and have more work ahead of them.
There's something you're missing:
The largest areas of population growth have been in Africa, China, and India. The most 'developed' countries have relatively little population growth. The increase in agricultural products available to those other areas has caused a population boom... which...
If I remember the release stuff from one of the carriers correctly, the modelers (or someone) decided to leave it that way for some reason... or maybe there's a long term plan to fix it. I don't know, and this was back before I joined anyway.
And it doesn't really matter, that much. The...
Psych, thanks for telling me that, I'll go check it out. The other new art I've seen on there from you guys is fantastic, too.
Eder, if you do, it's definitely going on my hard drive, but I'm not holding my breath by an means.
Because it looked terrifying to the pathetic human civilians on the ground, probably. Shock and awe, same as we tried to do (and failed to a fair extent) in Iraq last March.
Never underestimate the value of demoralizing enemy forces. Part of the reason Desert Storm was so easy was PsyOps...
It sounds pretty good and quite interesting... nice ritardando at about 20 seconds in but I'm not sure about the scoring right there and for the next couple of seconds. That's a personal judgement, though, and overall, it's very nice.
EDIT: Listening to the source, I think that scoring...
In Saga one of them's on the right side... and one's on the left, whichever one's correct, I don't remember (and I'm not sure I care that much); it's the Concordia CV vs. the Ranger CVL, but I don't know why.
I still favor the explosives method early on. Besides, it cuts down on hiding places. Using laser rifles and auto-cannons, I have demolished buildings looking for enemies. Not often, but it's fun. There's a certain primal glee in doing things like that.
Like I should have said above...
*frowns*
I have a vaguely disturbed feeling, now...
While on the subject of Standoff models, that Stiletto shot is absolutely gorgeous. Great job, guys. Any chance of getting a wallpaper-sized version?
