  1. I'm curious, may I ask why you picked up an alien corpse? While its a good thing you discovered a bug I just don't get why you did it? :S

    I was curious if you'd get money for it rather than it being destroyed if I picked it up. Mostly because that part of the map was clear at that point, but was still clearing out the crashed ship so that soldier had nothing better to do.

    Also noticed that when he carried it at end of mission it actually lowered his base AP to 14.

  2. First there is a clipping bug with things like fences and walls, where they will appear instead of the character model, creating a clipping issue. Will try and get a screenshot if needed.

    Also had a hard crash. I picked up an alien corpse in a mission, then went on another mission before returning to base (nice having more scouts to go after), and realized that the weight was giving him 14 action points. Tried to drop the alien corpse inside the chopper and it caused a crash.

  3. Perhaps all the scientists come form government agencies and not the private sector.

    I would imagine they'd come from both.

    And no $150,000 is not that much to pay a scientist, especially of the caliber that you'd need for the Xenonauts' labs. I know professional scientists and even government ones get paid more than that.

    I always imagined the cost of the planes was the cost of upgrading the donated F-16 to the F-17 variant, which is more in line with reality.

  4. the U.S.A, Australia, New Zealand and Canada

    Don't forget South Korea.

    There's already an Israeli mod with the Yom Kippur War in.

    Indians would have experience from the 1971 war with Pakistan.

    China could have the then incredibly recent war they had with Vietnam (I forget does the game start Jan. 1979?). Could also have the Sino-Soviet border conflicts for both the Soviet Union and China.

    For the French you have the Chad-Libyian conflict. Algerian war is a little old for most soldiers I think.

    What other nations do you think the Xenonauts would recruit from? It would make sense to put in all of the NATO and Warsaw Pact countries in to some degree.

  5. I'm new to the whole XCOM genre and game series. Had heard of it before but hadn't given it that much thought. Then the E3 stuff for XCOM:EU came out and I spent an evening reading everything I could about it, which lead me to Xenonaughts. Was originally skeptical about it, but I decided to give the demo a spin and really liked what I saw. Knowing female soldiers would be in sealed the deal (it's funny the small things that push you over the edge isn't it?).

    I'm generally a strategy and RPG gamer, which might be why I like Xenonauts so much, since it gives you some of both.
