TNoyce Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 There have been several times it's very apparent I'm not going to be able to physically finish a mission. It would be nice in this case to have the ability to press a key and abort the mission (with proper penalty of course).
Chris Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Fair point, actually. The debug version has a 'lose mission' button so it's more that we've just not bound it to a button / menu option yet. Probably should do that.
radister Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I was actually hoping you add one sometimes retreat is the best option.
stx Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Fair point, actually. The debug version has a 'lose mission' button so it's more that we've just not bound it to a button / menu option yet. Probably should do that. Chris, I'd also like a 'Restart Mission' button. It should essentially reload the autosave at the beginning of the ground combat, or something like that. Sometimes I screw up ground combat missions, especially the ones in terror sites.
Shima Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Fair point, actually. The debug version has a 'lose mission' button so it's more that we've just not bound it to a button / menu option yet. Probably should do that. Will this feature be checking who is aboard chinook on the map and saving just these guys? Like in the original.
Buzzles Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Thought there was a mission abort in the esc menu? There is.
Gauddlike Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 It is labelled as abort game though rather than abort mission, should probably see to changing that at some point.
Shima Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Pfft, it really is there. And complete with missing in action guys who are outside the chinook. How did I miss that?! Edit: Yeah, I might have ignored because it implies returning to main menu. Although Quit Game option does this instead. I expected that to be quitting to desktop. Edited May 14, 2012 by Shima
Safe-Keeper Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Come to think of it, it would be nifty if there was a certain percentage chance, depending on certain factors such as number of aliens vs good guys, the soldier's health and morale, aliens near them, etc, of MIA guys making it out of the battle alive to turn up again. Like, you dust off, leave two guys behind, and one of them turn up in your base again some hours or days later, with a message that "Private Ryan has evaded capture and has been flown back to base". Currently, I take it all "castaways" are killed by aliens, which is suitably gloomy, but at least on easier difficulty levels, it would be nice if there was a chance, even if it was just a tiny one, of MIAs turning up after the battle. MIAs unexpectedly turning up as prisoners/"research specimens" in alien bases would be cool, too .
Shima Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Whoa, finding your MIA soldier imprisoned/cut to pieces on a table in an alien base would take the game to a whole new level! Don't know about that spontaneous returning. That would make the game a bit too easy, imo.
Safe-Keeper Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Whoa, finding your MIA soldier imprisoned/cut to pieces on a table in an alien base Yeah. I kina meant alive. As in, rescue-able, but whatever floats your boat .Don't know about that spontaneous returning. That would make the game a bit too easy, imo. That would depend entirely on the probabilities involved.
Targe Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 should be a way to pickup stuff for that, ie, you can loot alien bodies and grab stuff from around the UFO before you dust off, just so you got something for your troubles, anyway.
Gauddlike Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 You can pick stuff up, bodies (dead and unconscious), weapons and equipment anyway. Some of the functionality isn't there yet but it is getting there.
