I know this decision is going to hurt, but I cannot accept fully recoverably airplanes, it feels like cheating. 18 minutes ago, Charon said: #JoinXCEandDoIt Yeah but I just leaned how to edit configfiles, not that helpful. 13 minutes ago, Solver said: This setting has a long history. Before the game was even released, lost airplanes were destroyed permanently. Then toward the release, Chris decided to change it and implement the "recovery" mechanic, as the cost of losing an airplane was too high. Then there were some strong feelings about that, with the realism aspect and all, so this toggle was one of the first things added in X:CE. Yep I do not like that "recovery" mechanic, that is why I think that a system with a percentic change of recovery of a weaponsystem , computer etc. would be a better solution, but I do not know if this can be done.

Drages decided the airplanes to be recoverable, but than somebody with more evil intentions decided to make them permanently destroyable. He put it in a mod called "Charons Changes, Psi, Sounds". After some dreadful incidents with a lot of lost hair even he had to admit that this may have been too much for people to bear, and removed it again.

Okay I see, well I am going to try with my changes anyway. If it proves to be to much to handle, maybe I think of some workaround system with less expensive planes and maintenence.

Marandor1 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 On 01.03.2018 at 2:53 PM, Svinedrengen said: Hej Charon, one question : What is the damageformula for X-Division? Is it the same as the original game at 50% - 150%? I can not find the formula in the files or the game, but I seem to remember dealing 100 something damage whit the sniper rifle whit basedamage of 60, which would indikate it to be more than 150%, I could remember it wrong and it was a rocket, but I am quite possitiv it was whit the sniper, and after you changed the configfile to my likings, I do not dare to change it back to test and find out myself in case of screwing something up in the proces. If I do remember it wrong, is it possible to change it to 200%? Or would it be gamebreaking? All weapons should have the possibility to deal at least doble the basedamage if it is a vital/critical hit if you ask me. Now as for dealing less than 50% I am not sure, 25% could work but not sure, 0% is to low and it can lead to some crazy random battles. What is your oppinion about this? As Charon already answered, the damage range is normally set to 50%-150%. But there are other modifiers too, like bonus damage for each kind of captured alien. You get 1-2% per type. This can sum up in later game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ich kommst auf Dænemark so Ich verstanden deutsch sehr gut, alot better than speaking/writing it, I do not approve of die deutsche grammatik. Maybe I will watch your videos later on, but I want to experince the game as blindly as possible. Your videos do look good though .

Half-full Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hello, I am having an issue where trying to capture a landed UFO will cause my game to crash.

Mattes98 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Alright, I'm back again. This time, I found a way to Softlock the game! Its very simple and I believe it is caused by the facehugger trying to do a reflex attack(Or possibly the zombie right behind him arguing about who shoots him first). STR: Load up Save. Select Soldier Pietro Rossi. Shoot the Facehugger next to him. The game will now softlock and you are unable to do anything besides Exiting the game. 216.F17.sav Edited March 4, 2018 by Mattes98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has his game style he likes. My favorite games offer turn based combat. I want to use my brain and my creativity for winning. I want to develop a strategy and like to think about alternatives. In my opinion XD ground combat is gigantic in that part. Airgame is mainly about reaction and quickness - things I liked in games around 30 years ago No offense for people who really like the airgame - it's just not my thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
