Filling out the Barracks in v1.4
Posted: Fri Jul 14, 2017 11:18 am
Looking for advice on how to fill out my barracks, both to get the bodies, what soldier classes to make, how many in what builds, and how to pay for it all.
It's 2035 April 8 in my LW2 Legendary campaign, about 5 weeks in. My barracks has 23 soldiers and I just put the last Rookie in the GTS to train as a Technical. 3 more Rookies are currently infiltrating on missions. Only got 2 Rookies so far from Jailbreaks and I've got no one in the Recruit pool.
I've just contacted my 3rd region. I've run 9 missions. I've 2 Scientists (Black Market purchases) and I've run Basic Research once. I have 2 Engineers (from VIP missions) cleaning out the Avenger. Only the GTS so far, but Research has just done the ADVENT Trooper Autopsy and I'm looking forward to getting supplies for the AWC and Proving Grounds, then the Workshop and the Laboratory.
I have some income from Smash&Grabs. Is that, Avenger excavation, and selling excess to the Black Market (I have the mod Blackmarket Usage) going to be enough or should I shift more than 1 Rebel to Supplies?
Mostly I've had the Rebels run Intel. Should I shift more Rebels to Recruit to get more Rebels as well as Soldiers on top of what's possible from VIP and Jailbreak missions and the Black Market?
A few more detials for context. I use the mod Commander's Choice and the GTS to control what soldier class every Rookie becomes. Right now it's like this.
Just made a few AP Rounds to better take out drones and the yet-to-be-seen MECs as well as a few Nanofiber Vests. Have 47 Alien Alloys and 0 Elerium Crystals. So rendering an Elerium Core, then Laser Weapons, then if needs be render another Elerium Core before Advanced Laser Weapons.
