Talk:Base Farming

Just for consistency it might be better to head this under Base Farming, since that's how it's referred to in various articles. -NKF 21:05, 19 June 2012 (EDT)

Thanks, I have changed the page based on what you suggested. -Ditto51 11:03, 20 June 2012 (GMT)

Of course, to be fair, there's various terms that can describe it. I mean, leaching, farming, milking, etc. It can't hurt to mention them in the description. -NKF 04:49, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

Does anyone know if PSI is improved as you use it, or is just improved through the PSI Labs? -Ditto51 19:24, 22 June 2012 (GMT)

Both means improve psi skill. As noted in the "obvious" entry here, improvement by use is subject to the stat cap of 100, but the PSI labs are not so impaired. I have not seen test results for whether premature wraparound effects have been observed, and if so whether these are version-dependent. -Zaimoni 17:48, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

If you are refering to this page then I was just checking as I put it on thispage as I remeber reading it somewhere but wasn't sure where. If that wasn't true then I would have taken it off of the page. -Ditto51 13:57, 24 June 2012 (GMT)

Races

Sectoid

Sectoids, might still be a good option. Here's how I'm thinking: A Sectoid supply ship is quite a good way to get a Sectoid Leader. You know where it is going to be from the start of the mission, and there will only be one. So at most, three psi attacks per turn, and the leader won't be wandering too much if it keeps useing psi. The first mission against a supply ship will be drawn out as you manage your troops and their equipment (or use power suits and pistols/rifles and not worry), but once you've captured the leader you'll be able to nullify their psi advantage. They are slightly better fighters than floaters, but they cannot withstand much damage. -NKF 05:12, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

True, and if you have PSI training then really it would work. Also if you de-arm men that aren't going out of the Skyranger, then even if they are Mind Controlled then they can't shoot at the others or go Berserk and shhot your other men. -Ditto51 16:15, 21 June 2012 (GMT)

Images

How do you add images to this wiki? -Ditto51 21:02, 21 June 2012 (GMT)

The easiest is to insert a wiki link with the filename prefixed with file: where you want it to appear. Like this: [[file:pic.png]]. Throw in the alternate text and formatting options as needed. When you save the article, then click on the link, you'll be able to upload the file.

You can also do it the other way around and upload the file first by using the the upload file option just under the Toolbox section of the left sidebar, and then add the image link in your article as mentioned above. NKF 03:04, 25 June 2012 (EDT)
