I'm biased because my character has history there. We go everywhere in a plane anyway.

Yeah, I'm not saying tech gets too far, I just need it to be at least a few months to a year in the future so I can involve my soldiers in fictional operations without messing with the world too much. Though, to be fair, I could just pull the creative freedom card and modify something. Like the Denmark Idea, or Scandinavia.
(Also, Sarge mentioned wanting to see someone from Israel, which someone COULD do, but it'd be difficult to pull off without offending someone or other, considering how serious some people can be about issues pertaining to that country.)

Nah I think its fine.
Denmark sounds cool. I've got a bit of Dutch in me myself. And setting a few years from now is no problem. Gotta have breathing room. Not that I'm adverse to a bit of alternative history. How does 2018 sound?

I would be good with that. Other than the things we've covered thus far, is there anything else that requires discussion?
Did you guys want me to set up specific maps for missions, or leave them vague and generalized?

Maybe a mix of the two, alien base assault mission(s) for instance could be more specific, while your average abduction mission might be more vague. (Speaking of that, if we had the aliens assault our hanger bays (As Long War plans to do), smaller bases that belong to XCOM/local military forces, or even government areas that would be really cool)
Would like to hear everyone else's thoughts on this stuff though, I don't want to shut people out of the discussion with my quick replies by any means.

Specific maps if you dont mind just add variations now and then

I would love to see new maps, like a middle east map, or us fighting the aliens some were in the amazon. I would like to see some interesting maps. But we could also mix in some of the old maps.
How about for a good mix of structure and freedom, regular missions will be detailed but open, so you have a sense of direction while still having the freedom to approach it how you wish, while missions like base assaults and larger UFOs will be a lot more structured and specific.
alright

Mhmm. I think we're pretty much set on basic rules then, unless we're forgetting anything important.

OH by the Way, I wanted to give my opinion about that since I wasn't on when you talked about the base location, How about we have a base in Russia since it is grouped with Europe on the hologlobe, Most of Russia is very desolate and would be an Excellent place to hide a base.

We could go with a siberian base. *starry eyes* Atka wouldn't mind the cold, she's used to it.
Hm, good point. Such a large place means even if the aliens knew the base was in Russia, it would take them quite a while to know exactly where, if it was built in the middle of no where you wouldn't have to worry too much about wondering citizens, and depending on the region we locate in, there are certain laws we wouldn't have to worry about. In addition, the place is big enough that even the soldiers and staff could be left in the dark about the exact location of the base. You know, for security reasons.
I think I'll cast my vote for Russia.

С отпустит поддержки, я должен отдать свой голос за Сибири.
(With starstruck support, I shall cast my vote for Siberia.)
