About at mid game and I am currently sending out a gunner with a ballistic tier machine gun and my Scout and Rocketeer with tac vests. I thought it would be a waste of money to repair my laser saw as I had just finished building my gauss saw, and decided to not to repair my spare sets of armor to save money.
Attempted a ufo landing, turned out to be a trap ufo, bailed before anyone got killed but I took a few hits and had a some armor and my machine gun break, immediately got hit with an abduction mission right after so I didn’t have time to repair any of my stuff.
