Let's Sperg Let's Play XCOM Terror From The Deep (Completed) - This is gonna hurt

It occurs to me that I made the elementary mistake of leaving three people outside the Triton when my turn ended, so of course a grenade wipes out The Valeyard, Penne Dreadful and Gimmick Account.
Luckily, my Time Lord physiology allows me to regenerate after receiving a fatal wound. (In the context of Doctor Who being obliterated by a grenade would likely prevent it but shh...)

The alien turns out to be a bit closer than I anticipated, but I still have Pissmaster try it. He demonstrates pisspoor aim as he not only misses every shot but also nails and instantly kills @Johan Schmidt.

Sorry @Johan Schmidt

Now will our clones share our stats or will I lose my superior throwing abilities?

They're just renamed starting soldiers like the original, so the stats will always be randomized and there's no guarentee your next character will be particularly good at anything.

I just compared my stats. I'm a little more anemic but my gun accuracy went up, and I maintained my throwing accuracy.

Please don't make me carry the tazer tho.

If I had my druthers, I'd work up a mod that adds dead troop stats and averages them out when spawning new soldiers, as should happen with DNA recombination vats; that way something like losing Root's arm wouldn't hurt the team as much.

Though I suppose losing more than one or two soldiers would dilute the incoming breed, so it wouldn't be a near 1-1 clone for a single KIA.
