Phoenix Point is a rough game. What you aren't told is there is definitely a hard set amount of time to win if you don't beat that deadline you will lose.
That’s good to know, as I’m usually a foot dragger. Now that we have a second squad, I feel we are well positioned to pick up the pace. You should also feel free to tell me to move faster. 😀
@@HoosfoosMcCave The red fog will do that for you. The time limit is set by difficulty level. You'll need to activate as many bases as you can to get enough labs and such to research and make items. Also research is a trap. Whatever you discover the aliens get. I once finished advanced shotguns while my ship was in transit to a site. I made a note to get some made quickly. The aliens at the site were wielding them when I landed. Phoenix Point is unkind.
Remember, there is a day and night cycle as the earth rotates. Until you get some 'things' that will give you the advantage at night, you may want to plan your missions for the daytime. Still watching...EDIT: If you have the supplies, just take an extra med kit and heal at the start of combat, if you don't want to wait. Bad things happen if you wait too long in early game. EDIT: Good job taking out the enemy weapons. Most players don't get that and just go for head shots for some reason. I like it. EDIT: You jumped next to that Myrmidon and bashed it, taking out its torso. Its bite was on its torso. It is done. EDIT: there are 'pips' under each weapon. The sniper and heavy weapons have 3 pips meaning they take 3 action points. Most shotguns and rifles take 2 action points and pistols take one. Just count the pips and plan around that. EDIT: Autopsies unlock new research, even though the text doesn't say it. EDIT: Nice playing. Good vid.
Ooh. I had not yet even thought about leveraging the day/night cycle. 😮 Re the medkit thing, yeah, that’s definitely what I’m doing going forward. Sitting around feels dangerous.
@@nickventruella2493 Typing 'edit does seem like a pain in the ass. I only do it to add another comment while watching. I'm gonna use something else to separate comments now. thanks.
I was waiting for this mission to take place. Now you need to figure out how to manage the airgame. It is this simple/easy: Just click on the weapon/module you want to activate and then (if a weapon) click on the part of the enemy craft you want to attack. Multiple weapons can target different parts or the same part, depending on your decisions. You have some more in-game reading to do... 8-)
That episode was a lot of fun. By the time I reached the air game, though, there was so much going on at my real-life house, that I was toast. I’m super eager to get back to it though.
