Close Combat Specialist activating on pod scramble intended? Currently OP
I don't remember how it worked in LW, but currently I can dash a CCS shotgun assault into a pod during the concealment stage and watch as he almost single handedly wipes the entire pod himself as the aliens scramble. Is this intended or not?

Just be glad it works. In LW and Vanilla EU/EW, it was pretty wonky to get it to work at all.

Technically it's working as intended... Free shot at any enemy who moves within four tiles.

Shouldn't some of the enemies be taking pot shots at him? Or does that only happen if they come onto you, rather than rushing into them?

My CCS panicked and hunkered. Shot enemy with other soldier next to him, he shot my own guy. Probably not intended?

They only take pot shots if they walk into you while you're concealed. Itchy Trigger Tentacle. It's actually better to be *not* concealed in this game, for the most part.

Not sure. Panic just means you can't use him, hunkering seems to get applied regardless of what happens after, although you'd think that skill would force complete lockout and maintain hunker state (you still get the defense even if you perform an action after getting hunkered). Regardless, I think CCS is just an overpowered ability, especially for the vanilla X2 game.

Marshmallow. You might have misunderstood what happened. My panicked & hunkered CCS shot my OWN guy when he was shooting an enemy.

If he is panicked, that seems like it is intended. Pretty sure the same thing can happen with Bladestorm.

Ya, panic units attack whatever.

This skill was ok in EU\EW, but now with concealment added it is crazy op

Yeah CCS really is too much, especially when reinforcements drop in, they get cut in half. Perhaps if it were just for the first enemy to move in range, but still stacking with overwatch, that might make it fairer?
