Milestone 1.17 Experimental Released! (Closed Beta)

[Chris]

This is a larger update for Milestone 1. Please note that this build is only available on our Experimental branch so you'll need to switch over to get this update (instructions on how to do that here).

Changelog:

• Replaced the introductory text crawl with an intro cinematic (introduction needs to be enabled to see this).
• Added research text for Secton Interrogation.
• Fixed various display issues on 4:3 screens for the loading screen, and for various tactical combat menus.
• Added a tooltip for the injured soldier HP bar on the soldier equip screen.
• Aircraft that have retreated in air combat now show an overlay that indicates this.
• Fighters / interceptors no longer show their missile range arcs.
• Updated aircraft rush replace costs so they increase for more advanced fighters.
• Removed Mind War from Psyon Officers.
• Laser Sniper Rifle now correctly gets the No Move accuracy bonus if the shooter has not moved.
• Plasma Grenades now do kinetic damage rather than Thermal damage, which means they are less effective at removing terrain.
• Stealthsuit can now be sold / transferred to other bases

Oh, this explains another issue I've been seeing, UFO doors are very weak to laser fire. When approaching the UFO, if one shot misses and hits the door, the door is gone. That's probably because lasers are Thermal.
