Could someone help me out with a future DFBT bit? I was thinking of recording the LCS 'breaking into' my recording and commandeering it, but my voice isn't good for that.. Would anyone like to volunteer?
*Waves AA-12 Shotgun*
Speaking of which, are AA shotguns the new M249? The almost-unobtainable superweapon? 'Cause right now, my army of Child Laborers with ceramic armor and M249s can decimate anything. Maybe they need a nerf.
Which brings me to my next point: Fundraising is too easy. We need either taxes and tax exempt status, possibly including Conservatives doing what Real Life Liberals are doing right now (using the IRS to withhold tax exempt status from opposing groups), or an option at the start to nerf fundraising.

AA-12s are unobtainable only because I haven't gotten it together and spread the Armory love--thinking the Bunker at least ought to be raidable for a spare & for ammo.  I've been meaning to get a compiler & HOWTO C++ so I can fix Armories & Vaults for a while now.

(That said, AA-12s should be available in the Department Store under C+ Gun Control for 10 times as much as its predecessor, same as any other high-powered weapon...hmm.)

You can get AA12s from CCS leaders. I think that there should be some things you cannot buy, to make it more interesting.

Which is better, an M16 or an AA-12?

AA-12 is just like a shotgun, it doesn't fare too well against armored opponents but absolutely obliterates unarmored ones

Doesn't its ability to shoot slugs automatically enable it to break body armor?

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure.

There are precisely 3 CCS leaders in the game; I presume they all carry a full load of magazines.  Even if none of them gets a shot off, that's still only 30 mags total; 8 rds/mag, 2 rds/attack, so 4 attacks per mag.  Maximum of 120 AA-12 discharges available for the LCS if AA-12 ammunition (even without the guns to go with) isn't purchasable.  I'm not sure how that's particularly interesting.

CCS squad leaders carry them, too, and there are a least a couple of those per siege.

Someone with 21 Charisma would probably be able to run for President as an independent and still get a majority.

Think I found a bug, I'll try to be as specific as I can:

I sent the second member of my main squad into a seven days vacation with a police officer; this squad only has 2 members, the other one was in the hospital for another month. My hackers do something the same day the member comes back from vacation. I get the "Your Hackers have ..." then the game segfaults after that.

I would upload my save file, but I actually deleted it before thinking in reporting the bug lol

My 21 charisma character still can't recruit that pesky CEO.

Well, you have to beat a superheroic persuasion check to do that, which, even with 7d6, is hard to do reliably.

I'm curios, is Fox still going with LCS as a priority? or is it more like a side project?

Check National LCS board, he is indeed working on it and releases patches every few days

It's been a couple weeks since I've done really good work on the game, but I've been meaning to spend more time on it. The National LCS thread's side releases are temporary, and will be folded into the main release once I'm confident that the rather dramatic changes in that version are properly stable and optional. It seems to be pretty close right now; the last version added an option to enable or disable multiple city play.
