[v18hf1 - Ground - Standalone] Empty landing ship UFO

[a_beorning]

Empty Loght scout bug succesfully fixed.

Now - Landing Ships

Update: not every Landing ships.

After 3 empty ones, I catch a normal one - with sebilians and haridans

I think this is similar to a problem I had. I received a message saying "Local forces have downed an enemy ship and request Xenonaut assistance." However, when the mission loaded I immediately won after the first turn because there were no enemy forces.

I had something similar happen with a Light Scout that I shot down. My Xenonauts went to the crashsite, I deployed them in my standard formation, then I hit 'End Turn' and the Debriefing screen poped up. I didn't have to fight enemies, what was different to the previous bug however, I did get 3 Sebilian (I think it was Sebilian and not Caesans) Corpses and their weapons (sold) and ammo clips. Previously you'd only get the Alien alloys, but no money/corpses. I'm now up to 9 crashsites cleared and only had this happen once, so the occurance of this bug does not seem to happen often.

Now, in my case an explantion would be, that all hands on the UFO were killed in the crash and you'd only had to go there to pick things up, but I don't think that such a behaviour is programmned into the game.

The local forces early game one, at least, was picked up here. As for a mission where there were corpses, I guess they all died in the crash, which I think was still supposed to happen now and again (and it makes for a nice breather).

I dream of an empty landing ship that provided me with end of mission goodies.
