the way I see it, you only have 1 shot at the first impression. jumping the gun and having something unbalanced, buggy and/or unstable will pursue it after its polished, limiting the reach of the game. so in effect, the game is "done" when the game is complete, the balancing is reasonable, it is stable and there are no major bugs. perfection is not required at that point but you should already be proud of the product you put out, and make sure that what you promised would be in it..is actually in it. if for whatever reason you would have to drop support, the game should still be able to effectively stand on its own. I am not really worried that you will choose the right time to pull the trigger, and even though I am not a backer and don't play the beta builds I'm fairly certain the final product will be a joy to play. I'm looking forwards to see the evolution of the xenonauts franchise.

Yeah, we're planning on adding the cover indicators back from X1. They don't necessarily provide the half cover / full cover distinction but the cover in X1 is more granular than that anyway (there's lots of different cover values) and in general it should make it easier to see what is cover and what isn't. If you're still having trouble when that's in then bring it up again and we'll have a think. The six numbers in the bottom right of the Geoscape screen should do this - they show all six regional Panic values at the same time. Were you aware of that? I think we do probably want to start colour coding the backgrounds of those numbers when they reach certain values but I also don't want to turn the UI into a fluorescent mess of colour so I'll need to do a bit of experimentation to get that right I think.

Soo this is a strange one. Just fast loaded my save, and was about to respond to a alien attack, when suddenly 4 of my soldiers were turned into MARS haha! I added the save i loaded from (i think) And a save that i saved after i saw this (mars_bug) user_raid-5.json user_mars_bug-6.json user_raid-5.json
