Guys from engineering are keeping secrets from head of research.

One interesting thing i discovered - you can add/remove soldiers and their equipment while the dropship is in flight. So if your soldier has just healed enough to get from med-bay into combat or you got some new items from manufacturing, you can freely change your dropship loadout, including switching soldiers between dropships. Maybe teleporters should be a separate research for that?

You mean the soldier's screen still works while the transport is away? I've got to try this out!

Have you checked if those changes actually take effect while the dropship is not at the base?

I would think that you can make these changes, but that they are planned and dont actually take effect until after the ship has landed at the base.

Nope, i'm exploiting this to its maximum and it works well. Soldiers appear immediately. Same for equipment. Its nice to teleport some predator armor suits straight from the engineering.

Its not a big bug tho. Those couple of extra hours doesn't rly increase your victory chances. But it has to be immediately reported to Chriss.

See? You hide things from the research department and you get reported. Silly engineers.

Bet the Head Scientist is smarting over the fact that the Engineering department created something he couldn't wrap his head around.

Now I know why the engineer is smiling while the scientist isn't.
