AvistTorch Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) In my latest playthrough of X-Com: UFO Defense, I've taken to dividing soldiers into fireteams. In X-Com, I changed their names to add a tag indicating what squad and fireteam the soldier was in, but that meant a lot of back-and-forth changing names and numbers as circumstances changed. With Xenonauts, the number hotkeys could make it easy to keep track of soldiers this way, but as far as I can tell, even though you can reposition soldiers in the dropship, there isn't actually an easy way to change what soldier is assigned to which hotkey. Am I missing something? If not, is this something that could be implemented? Edited September 26, 2012 by AvistTorch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giovanni Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 There's no assign hotkey-to-soldier function in the ground combat, and I really don't see the need of this.. If you want to have your snipers in keys 1..3, you can arrange your troops in the base view, clearing your soldier's dropship assignment and then re-assigning them in the order you want.. IMHO, is not worth adding a function to do this, few people would use it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamkyon Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Don't know, that was just my thoughts. I managed to dig up an earlier thread on my pet feature request. Chris seemed to be open to implementing it, so I'll remain cautiously optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
