[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 6402826, member: 26698"] X-COM exists within The Line as part of AEGIS (admittedly, the idea of AEGIS absorbing X-COM and SHADO was done looooooonnnnnnggggg before the new game was launched). X-COM gets from this a funny salute (a "reverse-V"), a different sigil, gear from other shows (such as SHADO-Mobiles), access to powered personnel other than psionics and some bases around the world such as under Harlington-Straker Studios in the UK. And some "plain-clothes" personnel with a bit of 1960's personality. Aside from that, X-COM is... well, X-COM. Probably a "lighter and softer" X-COM ("live and let live" orders with non-threatening alien races and probably even alliances), but still X-COM. Them having an alliance with the Men In Black and the Crusaders sounds pretty good, actually. As for X-COM making weapons and equipment sales, I guess that they could have created MarSec Corporation to perform this job. MarSec is X-COM like Greymalkin Industries is the X-Men (which is to say it's about 70-80% interchangeable. Well, probably 80 to 90 with MarSec). As for X-COM and games of that style... was thinking about adding "Xenonauts" ([url]http://xenonauts.wikia.com/wiki/Xenonauts_Wiki[/url]), added as well to AEGIS and weapons produced by MarSec.
