[Xenonauts and piracy]

Yikes. It's my bad, really. I wanted to share the article as a point of interest, but did so without first performing a search. I only searched after Max_Caine mentioned this to be an old topic.

I'm still grateful for the responses.

May I have the link via PM, please?

[Xenonauts and piracy]

Just saw this on Kotaku:

I was surprised to see Xenonauts among them. I guess it's both unfortunate as well as a strange form of praise. I wonder how Chris feels about this.

[In honour of all the devs]

Cheers 16 here! Thank you Goldhawk for keeping the flame alive.

[Using Alien Technology Withou Researching]

I initially also found it weird until I read the novella. In it, the soldier fumbled around and eventually made it work after picking it up for the first time.

[Any action figures for purchase? planned?]

A collectable set of the three generals in the main menu would be nice. Imagine those in front of your desk, might help productivity.

A crashed UFO resin figure would also rock.

[The only thing lacking is tone setting.]

Actually, now I too see his point. All three X-COM installments had a nice intro. Now when I think about it. I kinda agree. A slide show style intro would help set the context and tone.

[The only thing lacking is tone setting.]

X-COM and Xenonauts are games that thrive more on design narrative than the use of cinematics. The context, and details of the world are told through the look and feel and by game play experiences.

There's also no shortage of text in the xenopedia entries that build upon the mood. I've found the overall presentation to be more than enough for my own imagination to fill in the rest. Also, because I interpret the universe through these narrative cues in my own way, my mental model of the world is more personal and more memorable.

[Trooper not being healed?]

I've had a friend encounter a similar problem. He fixed it by taking them out on a mission and back.

[Soldiers panicking...]

I imagine the panic episodes as those dramatic shell shocked sequences in war films, where time slows, sounds become muffled and the soldier is in a brief daze from that previous traumatic experience. No shouting required.

[Unofficial Community Mapping Patch]

Nope. Nothing happens when any attempts were made to shoot at the printer. I could shoot at walls on adjacent tiles and the ground, but I couldn't move out of it.

[Unofficial Community Mapping Patch]

Encountered this. The screenshot isn't mine, but taken off the Steam's community hub. Exact same problem I had encountered.

It's possible to walk into the printer and get stuck there, forever.

[How i meet Rambo in Xenonauts :)]

I've once had to deal with a couple of Reapers on the loose. One ran into the office building while the other charged at my guys. It took 3 of my soldiers to take that single Reaper down and I had then ended my turn, forgetting that the other was still at large.

To my alarm, the other Reaper came out of the office building from the side door and was heading straight for my guys. I was just about to give him up for dead when the police officer you see in the picture shot it twice, with his pistol, killing it on the second shot. At this distance, local forces usually can't hit anything, but this policeman saved my soldier's life that day.

[What the H*ll was that!!]

You know, they could use the material that they've used to contain the Reaper for analysis to make armours. From the picture, it looks like it's holding its the Reaper in pretty well.

Unless, of course, we want to argue that the Reaper contained in base have been severely weakened.

[Mobile Infantry. Would you like to know more?]

Fantastic work! Maybe Reapers can be overhauled to look like the Arachnids

[Alien grenades make me incredibly sad]

I've just been extremely fortunate with my recent B Team landing ship UFO mission. My forward shield scout wearing wolf armour ate 2 grenades in the face and survived with minor scratches. First grenade was resisted, second did only about 10 damage.

Just inches behind him was an unarmoured (basic armour is no armour) rookie in both occasions. I think he shat himself twice.

I'll second the advice to spread your soldiers out. I've noticed that whenever you end your turn with guys bunched up within line of sight and range of the aliens, they're more than eager to capitalise on the opportunity to grenade you.

[[V1.07] Skitso's Sleek AI Turn (Removes Hidden Movement)]

Just to point out, I had to download the file from my mobile. Managed to get the mod that way. If anyone else needs an alternative download link, I'll be happy to provide it, with Skitso's permission of course.

Edit: Forgot to say, thank you Skitso for making this mod.

[What the H*ll was that!!]

Sounds like a Reaper to me.

[Xenonauts - the game that left me wanting]

Erm, the humorous type?

Ah, my bad. Sorry about that.

[Xenonauts - the game that left me wanting]

That's because you lack depth

May I ask what depth does the manual management of the logistics add to the gameplay, in your opinion?

[How can I possibly decommission this?]

If it's any consolation, the original pilot has requested to buy it with all weapons removed, as a keepsake.

[Guys from engineering are keeping secrets from head of research.]

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

[Guys from engineering are keeping secrets from head of research.]

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

[[Mod Request] Research and Engineering Progress Tracker on Geoscape]

I see. Thanks. Still worth a poke.

[[Mod Request] Research and Engineering Progress Tracker on Geoscape]

I've just peeked at a video of the XNT and it appears to have a panel on the side that shows additional info. There's hope! Maybe I'll give this a go on my own.
