A price I'd be happy to pay to be ablke to do that kind of stuff Not that I play much Xenonauts anymore, but still

It's fiexed in community edition if you're running that.

My colonels kept leveling up the rest of the game just fine.

You just hit the cap for where you can get strength without overloading. Overload them a bit and they'll continue leveling for a while, eventually you'll need to overload them a bit more to go even further though. Max is still 100, and you don't stop gaining stats just because you hit a certain rank. Keep in mind you can't level strength for soldiers in predator armor though.

Except if you're going to abort the mission, then they need to be in the dropship to have a chance for survival I believe. Doesn't happen that often, but since the post bringing it up mentioned aborting, it's probably relevant in this case.

Well, Inga is mainly a nordic name, where the word "inga" means "no/none" so...

If doing so means better gameplay, sure you can. Not that this is such a case.

You pretty much got it. Hence why reflexes and bravery are the stats I look for when recruiting soldiers, with some consideration for hp. The rest will sort itself in time.

Isn't it 25% armor degradation?

What's your point? I don't have anything that I feel I need to change. And again, that would require there to be an issue that I feel strongly about and want to change. That isn't the case.

If the promise was going to benefit you in some way, the fact that breaking the promise robs you of that positive effect would qualify yes.

Indeed. Being able to feel it or at least see some effect of it is, in my opinion, the definition of harm. Something that doesn't affect you and that you most likely won't even find out about can't harm you.

If you write a book and lock it up in your drawer, you're doing so because you don't want anyone to read the content because it's private, so yes, making a copy (or reading it at all) would be an invasion of privacy. However, once you publish that book, the entire world can read it, so the content is no longer something private. In the vast majority of cases, if someone pirates the game, you will never find out about it, and as you mentioned, not suffer financially from it either, so you don't suffer from it in any way. Piracy becomes more akin to checking the book out of the library and copying it for later use. That is NOT what I'm saying though. No one is entitled to a copy without paying - it's just that if you can get one without anyone suffering from it, then why not? If anyone could convince me that it actually hurts someone in any way, I'd stop. LordJulian, piracy already has existed for decades, so that would be right now. Either way, I can only control myself - even if I were to stop, no one else would. Yes, I am aware of "if everyone thinks that way..." arguments, but again, no one will stop thinking that way just because I do.

The only real difference is between burst and single shot, and that difference should be fairly obvious. Otherwise it just allows you to spend more TUs for a more accurate shot.

Indeed, it's not stealing, but neither is assault or other violence related crimes, which are obviously not OK. Invasion of privacy is an another example. The difference is that all these examples have a victim, someone suffers from it. As long as you're not being a douchebag about it, piracy doesn't. I'm never gonna argue that it shouldn't be illegal, but as long as you weren't gonna buy it anyway it's a victimless crime. The fact that it's not stealing does not automatically means it's OK, it just means that you can't classify it as stealing and thus automatically determine that it's wrong.
