New encumbrance/TU system
Sarin:
--- Quote from: H-Hour on January 17, 2013, 05:57:30 pm ---Interesting. I swap out wounded and try to knock down every UFO I can over land. I've done 65 missions and I'm still about two months from even seeing heavily armoured aliens (probably three months from fielding power armour). By the time I get there, I could be nearing twice as many missions as you.
My most active soldier has seen 47 missions at this stage, so nearly 3/4. I've got 7 soldiers at 20-40 missions, another 4 or so around 10-25 missions, and another 7 at 0-10. I've lost probably 15-20 soldiers in the campaign, but maybe only 5 who had real experience. I only save-scummed once, to rescue my favourite sniper.

Hm. Maybe you had higher radar coverage resulting in more UFOs detected and more missions? I started out with main base at Asia Minor, soon added radar covering south Africa, but then nothing for quite a long time as I built dedicated workshop base, and only around september 2084 I added another radar/interceptor base to cover most of Asia and Australia.

I think the weights could range from 33-43 starting stats, this just allows enough generally for soldiers to carry a weapon and ammo, but if you want speed bonuses you need an ammo guy and your heavy weapons can't manage much more than a monoblade without armour.

Hey, I think the encumbrance system is actually *supposed to* make you choose between speed and heavy equipment...
I only started this thread to point out and discuss how the current mechanic creates some silly situations/exploit possibilities.
kurja:
speaking of which, having slept on this a bit it probably wouldn't make sense to completely remake the system to work like I first suggested. Issues that have been brought up could use some improvement however.
kurja:
About the mission count - I always build just three bases, first one in east Europe, second one in middle America and a third one in south-east Asia/Oceania. All nations are happy (exuberant? I never found out what that actually means) with this coverage.
