I'm with you on this one. Xenonauts 1: CE eventually had commander iron man that hurt pretty good! I have high hopes for Xenonauts 2. This milestone just started, maybe after tweaks/rebalancing the game will allow for more nuance and challenge.

I appreciate your acknowledgement on my perspective Chris. MS5 is going to be a hell of a ride

I'm not criticizing the reasons, I am criticizing the solution and how it's implemented right now. This is the same issue in Xenonauts 1 more than 10 years ago. If I remember correctly, the solution is not perfect but worked out. On the latest MS4 build, I was under the impression that the pacing and the gameplay was pretty on point. This just seem like a complete change of direction from "We're almost to the end game guys!" to "clearing a crash site has the same consequence as ignoring a terror mission". I'm all for making the game less grindy but so far the only thing this mechanic did for me is hit F4 and wait for the next thing I get to do. Maybe I'll see the point of this when more improvements/adjustments come along, but right now I''m not a fan. I'm really digging the changes to Sebilian and Mantids so far: the LMG / gas grenade and Symbiote launcher compliment their fighting style while creating another dynamic to tactical combat. Looking forward to end game!

Are you able to see the panic go up and down during the playthrough? Mine is stuck at 50. While I really like many of the additions on MS5, I just can't wrap my head around this one. Battlescape is a core mechanic of the game and the challenging combat a big reason why this game is fun, why punish the player for this? It doesn't make sense narrative wise either; the Xenonauts program is funding nations' solution to the alien threat, why would they compete with it this way? Keeping resource away from Xenonauts is what the Cleaners and the aliens want!

I thought I was the only one with the adduction mission problem

hmm no I don't think so. I did notice that the "raise funds" SO played a jet sound when I clicked on it but the funds didn't change. Recruiting the supporter at NAM showed the funds increase for the monthly report. I've attached the save right after the ATLAS mission, before I clicked on the SO and recruited the NAM funds supporter.auto_strategy_after_combat-2.json

CTD when soldier transport land on site. The game will hang at 90% when I attempted to load the "before mission autoload". Reproduced when I utilized "raise funds" strategic operation and recruited the funds supporter in NAM before sending the transport. Not sure which one of these two (or both) triggered the crash. The abduction will load properly if I don't spend the OP points. bug_report_2024-12-14-12h24_wn_5.0.0_unhandled_exception.zip user_raised_funds_and_nam_funds_up-1.json

Nice, just in time for the holidays. Can't wait to dig in!

Ahh so that's what it was. Glad you guys were able to find it!

In this save, the game crashed when one of the assault guys switched from rifle to shotgun (sorry I couldn't be more specific). This has been happening sporadically throughout the entire play through and it's annoying that I couldn't consistently reproduce it. This also happens often when I repeatedly drop and pick up something, for example during early game when I use multiple soldiers to stun an alien but only has one stun rod. Hope one of your testers run into it during their playthroughs.

Not sure if this is a bug or it just wasn't implemented, Completing Harvester research didn't mention Reinforced Shield nor can it be built in Engineering. bug_report_2024-07-05-02h14_mm_4.13.0_user_f11.zip
