X-Com: Enemy Unknown

Can you get to plasma without going through lasers first? If that's the case, it might be worth skipping them and focusing on capturing as many plasma guns as you can, but then it'll take really long before your snipers and heavies get good weapons, as the plasma versions of those are not pickups. I also think some of the foundry upgrades are locked to having researched certain weapons - I know that this is the case for the pistol upgrades.
I just got a little hovertank. It's amazeballs. Naming it "Death From Above".

Yeah, you can technically start researching plasma weapons the moment you get a pistol or light plasma rifle, it just takes for goddamn ever at first. If you get laboratory and a few more scientists in your employment, I'd suggest researching the Light Rifles once you've got them down to less than 15 days. You should be able to have at least 3 available as soon as it's done if you've been arcing dudes like you should have been doing anyways and they're already the same strength as Laser Rifles, and free. It's the higher grade plasma that's gonna be a long haul. If you can time it right, you should be able to get at least one Heavy Plasma before you really need it and the sniper can hold off a lot longer than most of the rest, especially if you get him Gunslinger and research Plasma Pistols. It's potentially a bit of a time bomb, but if you pull it off you can skip out on Lasers entirely without a real problem.
Just wish there was something to do with Laser weapons. None of the Council ever want them for contracts, they just want plasma.
Edit: Also, I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but apparently weapons held by mind controlled units don't get destroyed if they die while mind controlled.
snalin:
mind control glitches are the best thing? Remember what happened if you killed something with a Chrysallid that you had mind controlled in the originals? Yup, friendly Chrysalid!
I've gotten at least one request for laser pistols, so I think you've just gotten bad rolls on the random generator. One thing that supposedly made them useful in the first one was that they were extra effective against robotic enemies. Never researched them anyways, as you had access to plasma research the second you were done with the first mission, but the use was apparently there.
ackblom12:
Pet Chrysallids were fantastic.
Alright, currently at the end game, just doing abduction zones and such to try and get enough weapon materials and all to do all of the foundry and research for achievements. It's kind of crazy when you have a Sniper with Archangel armor, a Psionic Support unit with 129 Will because of the Psi-Armor and everyone else with Titan Armor or Ghost Armor. We are death incarnate.

Also, ever since she was a puppy my dog has been taken to gun ranges, fire works displays, nursing homes, and has even lived near an ambulance garage and a train station. So I was pretty surprised when the thin men make turns her into a panting, shivering wreck as she vigilantly patrols the house.
