But going heavy on sci and engies early is also helpful in the long term so it's not much of a sacrifice. Just don't half-arse it: you need all resources going into scientists and engies at the start and catch up on ant farm later. You can also stay on mag for a good while, allowing you to open up side techs if you wish, or at least a fairly early PG. You have a tricky April but your main shooters will have mag rifles by mid May, which gives you a huge advantage over the aliens at that point, which can really help snowball. Seriously though I do suggest giving it a go. That is one disadvantage of laser skip / mag rush. But (in 1.5) if you skip lasers you rebels are stuck on ballistics until you get coil, at which point some of them will get mag weapons. If you did research lasers, some rebels will get lasers once you research mag. Rebels get access to the tech one tier below your highest tech, provided you have actually researched that tech. By the way, in earlier versions it was that if you researched a weapon tech, but skipped over an earlier one, that your rebels didn't get weapons of that earlier type. But even then I would probably loose if not 2 grenaiers with 4 fire grenades. Needles to say I had to sacrifice 2 out of 3 rebels to save the relay as it was down to 3 HP just after one (!!!) turn of shoting from only 3 of 4 ayys. On my last one I somehow had only 3 (!!!) rebels to defend the relay against pod of 3 vipers and MK2 gunner (bug or the game just hate me so much?) out of total 12 in haven (no faceless!) with my team had spawned 4 dashes away, so laser on those 3 rebels would not be that bad.

Once your regions starts to hit 3 str - be prepared to fight two intel raids for a very short period of time as it seems like if the miniretal basket is full another one starts to fills up immediately even if the first one hadn't relulted into the actual mission yet due to too low str in all regions in the first moths of the game. Though randevouz is not that difficult intel raid is one of the most annoying one and you will have quite a lot of them during the course of the game. it allows some of your rebels to have laser weapon on mini-retals/randevouz. CPL assault with CnP with laser is OHK most if not all ayys.ДЈ. it's a power spike for sniper/assault and rangers/OW spec. it's cheap to research and to build (just render the elerium core or two if not have enough elerium)Дў. I would not suggest to skip lasers because:ДЎ.

But still, once those start to Show up regularly I Need more firepower. Sniper critted him for 11, so he went down rather fast. You're right, am doing my first HQ assault Mission at that Moment and there I met my first MK2 officer. So basically your economy will not be strong enough to Support production of coil weapons that early? I understand.Дamn.

So for me - perhaps there is a reason to skip laser (I never do) but not mag.ДЇrom 1.4 experience mag sniper/shogun stays quite relevant to september and could even be usefull (and will be sometimes used) up to october because of high prices of coil. So it takes up to 3 non grazed shot to kill just this one.ДЄnd this one is not the worst - there are tons of snakes and the regular viper has 12-13 HP AND a lot of dodge on top of that.

Even if you rush for it you will not be abble to quickly equip all your shotty classes with that shiny toys.Д«y mid june on Legend you should be already facing MK2 advent in all missions who are not that easy to kill with laser.ДЇ.E. And the worst part is that coil weapon is REALLY expensive to build. Noober wrote:Coil research time is twice more then mag (Legend) and even more as it require elerium.
