[V1.22 - Ground Combat] Items picked up in battle vanish when back at base

[DrKev]

The Cleaner Mission, some soldiers picked up smgs and the ammo from dead cleaners while collecting data sticks. Mission successful, everyone returned to the ship, but when I arrived back at base, everything I had picked up had vanished. I checked the soldiers inventory, available weapons and the stores, but no smg's nor ammo... I have not yet researched how to make smg's, but I did expect that whatever I collect from the battlefield remains with my soldiers. 

I'm not using any mods.

Yes, the SMGs that the Cleaners use are generally inferior to your rifles. You can pick them up and use them on the battlefield but there's no provision to store them at your base. Maybe there should be but that's how it works now.

Thanks, in theory they should be better at short range,... thanks for the info though, as it takes TU's to pick them up and overloading can slow troops. But being able to pick up anything, bring it back, salvage or retro research and then manufacture, or possibly just sell them. I'm a bit of a hoarder n luv picking stuff up  Thanks again

Thanks. Yeah, we might well add the feature to allow you to keep them - or at least to sell them.
