Serpent Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 One of the annoying bugs in the game is that character loses their equipment. With the latest version, it seems like it's resolved somewhat, where they get un-equiped when they are hurt. Or at least that's how I'm having it happen. But there are still times I go into battle, forgetting or not knowing, with naked soldiers. Is it possible to add in the option to check/change equipment on the list of options when a craft gets to the crash/terror site? As it is, you can already edit equipment, even if your characters aren't actually in the base. This would be help with frustration of forgetting to change equipment, and allow double checking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Probably not when they get to the mission site, since the damage is already done. When you send out the chinook there could be an optional pop-up to check equipment. Its something that UFO:ET did well. Or just wait for the next build which (I think) fixes the missing equipment bug properly. The current 'dump gear into stores' is a quick fix while the main problem was being worked on.

thothkins Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I wouldn't mind a little button on the geoscape - beside where final mission no longer is - where you can just check your troops before launching. It's a screen I go into a lot, if only to add a grenade or two for the strength exploit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current 'dump gear into stores' is a quick fix while the main problem was being worked on. Actually, as the game stands right now, you can check/change equipment even if the plane is out. So, making it changeable would really be as simple as added a button that connects to that screen. (I actually did change my equipment mid flight, near the terror site, to avoid the no equipment bug) Alternatively, it could be done so that you can equip the ship with equipment so that it's changeable at the mission site, even mid mission if you were in the ship. That though, would probably require a bit more work. The idea of a last minute check up just came to me because of the bug, but since it's just a good general idea to elp with possible frustration, I decided to request as a suggestion, rather than just a bug fix.

Sathra Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ah, I think being able to change equipment mid-flight isn't meant to be happening, which is why I said to have it before the flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 it was handy to take equipment of the wounded when they were going to lose it though. But yeah, shouldn't really be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
