As opposed to having quick cooldown vs low energy cost vs longer stunning stuns, eg. 6 33% mods nets you 3 damage on the stun grenade (out of hundreds or thousands of HP).
slotting damage on a stun grenade with a base damage of 1. What the designer found was that overwhelmingly, players make bad decisions e.g. There was an MMO, City of Heroes, where the lead designer spoke a lot about design - I found it immensely informative instead of the usual "Blah blah, you hate the change we get it but it's for the best." One thing they had was the ability to slot players choice of six modifiers to every "power." Every modifier was a percentage increase based on the power's base, so, eg, 33% more damage or 33% more stun. This is a straightforward way to get the "As a Scalpel" achievement (earn excellent in every category on a classic or impossible terror mission).Having played XCOM since the original in the 90's, moving just far enough to have some TUs left for a few overwatch shots and only exposing new areas when the squad was ready for a fresh firefight is a huge, huge set of lessons (yes, new XCOM doesn't have TUs, the general shape of the lesson carried forward) from "I moved my guy in and he got f-ed, and my team all missed trying to cover him or were all over the map." Terror missions - Ghost-armored soldiers can run around the map freeing civilians without alerting the aliens. Use the ghost armor's invisibility to let the heavy set up their shot without being in danger. Heavy Rocketeer survival - heavies have to get into alien line of sight to fire their rockets but this can be a deadly proposition. Let them close the distance with ghost armor and get those rookies some kills. Rookie training suit - rookies have trouble landing a hit on end game aliens. Although it takes almost an entire UFO worth of Elerium, the ghost armor suit is very useful. Ghost armor is expensive for a reason: it's awesome. McFall explains that there are several ways to take advantage of these awesome, expensive threads. We knew how awesome Ghost armor was-its armor that turns you invisible, obviously its baller-but we didnt know how many uses it has.
