[Cooperative.]

Whilst a fun idea, the level of work involved would be insane, it's something I think you'd want to plan from the beginning so you could design around it.

Whilst I think Aliens vs Humans has some potential, they just don't have the resources to pull it off.

Personally I sorta thing maybe the x-com apocalypse style of game would lend itself better to multiplayer, playing as the corporations or something - that game had a lot of potential but was never truly finished.

[Build V10.2 Released!]

Desura worked fine for me, haven't had a problem with it, but yeah hopefully I can finally get laser weapons.

[Build V10 Released (Kickstarter Press Build)!]

Seems like a fairly decent build, but I did get a bug where the game would crash. If at the exact same point in time you went to one base with 2 out of 2 used hangars and then transferred a aircraft to another base, then went to the other base and transferred an aircraft to the former base, when they both arrive at the exact same time, the game crashes.

[What happens after the release?]

Apocalypse remake done proper could be fun, the original had so much potential but the whole thing felt like they rushed it out, or if they want a change of game style, maybe a DKIII

But speculating is pointless other than for entertaining ourselves, until after they finish xenonauts.

They still have to work damned hard on making xenonauts a success first...

[Official Geoscape Map Corrections and Additions.]

There is a 'small' matter(just ask most mainland Australians) of the unfortunate exclusion of Tasmania from the Australian Continent

Another minor thing, but is Brisbane a few 100k's further south on that map than it should be?

[General V8+ Suggestions for improvement.]

Tactical Combat loading time

Am I the only one getting sluggish loading times for tactical combat? Something like 1.5 minutes.

Soldiers take quite a bit to turn. Please make it faster / more fluid.

I strongly agree with the above, whilst I got about 30 seconds load time, I'm running it off a SSD.

And also had the issues of unresponsive soldiers, for a game like Xenonauts, it's really really annoying.

But I'm impressed how much has been done with the game since I last looked at it, making decent progress. Though my look at the game ended with another crash when I clicked the vehicle tab so I didn't get to see much.

[How do you play a ground mission?]

You have to shoot it down over land, there's a chance the ship will be destroyed outright also (which sounds like what is happening to you).

So I think it's also a bit of luck, I'm not sure if using the auto cannon means the ship is less likely to be destroyed or not as opposed to blowing it into a billion pieces with missiles.
