I think those two quotes go together ... lol

Are there still rocket launchers if we're underwater? :blob: rolleye

Unfortunately, there are no rocket launchers in this game. There are torpedo launchers but you can't use them on land, which is annoying as the main reason I liked them was because you can destroy building walls with them without having to end the turn for grenades to go off.

And yeah considering the amount of property destruction that happened in XCOM1 missions I can see where people would get the impression that XCOM is a danger lol

Apparently, in the 40 years we were cyrogenically frozen, world peace broke out and so weapons were no longer manufactured and they forgot how to build rocket launchers. This also explains why our initial dart guns/harpoons are so crappy! lol

Sorry for the double post, what play order are we going on this time? I think that Ug would be up based on our previous order.

Ug (up)
Haphazard (on deck)
Dazed (in the hole)
ASM (Just tell us when you're available)
Uber (just played.

Refsteel and Ug are active, I'm not on deck for now because it's easier to narrate this way.

It's also highly possible that no one trusts us with rocket launchers so they won't sell them to us.
