    Hmm, to me those two words are pretty much interchangeable. Does anyone else feel like this change would make a difference to how they see the missions?

    The words are equivalent in my mind, but I guess it is subjective.  In either case, I wouldn't expect it to necessarily affect the difficulty of the game any more than any research item.  That might just be the way I interpret it though.  You could add a statement that it won't affect the difficulty, but that seems superfluous to me because I expect the game to get harder over time and you don't know when that is going to happen anyway.

    Yeah, that might be fun. There's a few other ideas for grenades I have (like a healing grenade) but those are features we'd start to consider once we've got the game out into Early Access I think!

    I think a "healing grenade" is too far fetched and sounds a bit naff lol

    What do you mean by "good chance to hit"? If you referring to hit chances around 60-70%, then it should still be very common for those shots to miss. In a game where the main way of killing enemies is by relying on a percent chance to actually hit your shots, unlikely scenarios will end up happening all the time due to how often you attempt to shoot aliens. I think the problem is people are relying on these "decent" hit rates to get the job done, but they fail much more often then people think (and it gets magnified if it takes more than one shot to kill an alien). 

     

    I'm talking higher like 70-90%. I have had 4 or five troops take a shit load of shots (like 10 in total) with >60% chance of hitting, from well within range (even standing a few squares away) and they have all missed.  In this situation I get super pissed off and just Ctrl+Shift+K the bastard in a pique of rage.

    Is this in reference to the Cleaner Cells specifically, or the game as a whole?

    Now I have played a bit more of this playthrough, I'm gonna say the early missions are FAR too hard.  I just did one of the cleaner dockyard missions and it was HARD, even with cheating and on "Soldier" difficultly!!  The MIB dudes were well overpowered and there was loads of the blighters. And that was before the cleaners turned up.

  5. CTD from geoscape without warning.  There isn't a save immediately beforehand so maybe the issue is in the logs (I was building a gauss pistol I think, or maybe a shotgun, and was researching a live mentarch).  There is a save from a few days before the crash which may or may not be useful.  After this save and the gauss being unlocked, I started making a load of gauss weapons and started researching the mentarch.

  6. So I have attached a save where I have two phantoms and an angel with alloy plating in Africa and N America. I have tried every possible combo of laser lance/accelerated cannon and alenium missles/torpedos, and yet two fighters and a destroyer (which shouldn't be too hard) swat them away like flies.  Like, totalled... every time.   I always use auto-mode because I hate the minigame (personal preference, so no shade being thrown). I mean, maybe losing one and heavily damaging the others might be acceptable, but either the phantom needs upgrading, they need to pack more of a punch, or the UFOs at that level are too overpowered.

    This is fixed in the hotfix I released earlier today; it was a crash tied to the Heavy Fusion Weapons project.

    The numbers on the stores are working fine (Alloys and Alenium take up 0.1 capacity, everything else takes up 1 capacity) but you're right that there's a whole bunch of storage capacity that's blocked by something invisible. I'll take a look at that tomorrow.

    There doesn't seem to be an update on Steam?  It's still V27.5
