Serious XCOM RP

[RevivalAD]

I don't think I need to explain this too deep, but I think XCOM RP would be a hell of a concept and would be easily implemented as the setting accommodates for just about everything we TnBers love.​

• Bunker passive RP, TRP charlie style projects, developing all kinds of crazy funky stuff that Dave Brown loves, (Exo suits, crazy weapons, suit upgrades, MEC prosthetics, etc.)​
• The lore can be easily expanded upon while still feeling authentic and true to the games storyline.​
• Military style RP with ranking system.​
• A HUGE variety of enemies. (Zombies, greys, tank aliens, crazy humans, etc) **Enemy types that could accommodate for both S2RP and S2K scenarios much better than TRP could.​
• Assets would easily transfer to this setting, (Exo suits, many TRP/HL2RP weapons, Tekka resources as well, maybe?)​
• Storyline progression, we could start as a simple little military branch who gains resources and begins developing neato technology as time goes on.​
• Donation items would fit more appropriately into the setting and make much more sense.​
• etc.​

I just feel like the setting is the PERFECT setup for our community and would love to have something like this as a long-term project.

E: Has this been suggested before?​

Is this finally the opportunity to smash high end tech of HL2 with the grittiness of TRP? I think so.

As long as its XCOM1 with the megabase and not XCOM2 with the stupid carrier.

XCOM has a large amount of character diversity- from crazy scientists to badass minigun muscle men. And since the idea is that they are the best of the best from around the world, people can create characters of any nationality they want

generally, when attempting to convince someone of your idea, you should stick to arguments that speak for, not against, your idea

I had pondered the idea of an alien-invasion themed RP server in the past. I guess this was before TRP relaunched, but it was basically a similar concept......think Battle:LA.....whilst not nessacrily a great film at all.....so yeh it would basically just be an identical theme swapping out terminators for aliens.

More specifically i remember watching independence day 2 (literally the worst film ive ever seen) but one idea did strike a chord with me.....theres a scene set in africa where they mention once the motherships lost contact with the main hub, they all crashed and then the local militias / clans basically fought an unfunded guerilla war against the stranded aliens for the next 20 years, whilst also scavenging their technology and stuff like that.
