Steelpoint Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 When I finish a mission I like to look over my squad and see what changes to their stats and medals they got, as well as check the wounded and dead. One thing I personally would love to see is more detailed wounded and dead soldier information given post mission, as well as later on when you want to review wounded data from earlier missions. A quick example would be showing how a person died, so you would say they took 3 plasma pistol shots to their body and a plasma gun finished them off. Or that a wounded soldier took a plasma rifle shot to the chest but survived. This could have several uses, one being allowing players to see how much damage a alien weapon can deal and act to it accordingly, and establish an average damage per shot for a weapon to determine how many shots kill a soldier on average based on their Armour. Another allowing you to gloat over how your soldier took multiple plasma rounds to their person and still pull through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 You don't know how your guys got killed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelpoint Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 I tend to remember how they died, but I feel having more detailed information on at least what killed them would be a nice feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Plus if this information is gathered by the game then it would be easier to dump it to a text file for later retrieval, say in some kind of list of soldiers who died defending the planet.

Wolverik Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The ranks, promotions, medals and memorial screen are very important to some people and are an important reason to play this game. They like to feel like a real commander and know what happens to their soldiers. So I am all for a memorial screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I totally agree. Very much worth it to me to have a memorial screen of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightgemini Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Didnt the memorial thingy was a kickstarter feature that didnt make the cut in the polls? Im all for it though, I would love to have a record of the fallen on the battle for Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Always keen on this one. I wrote it down for EU1994 and here I am still doing it now. Well, I alt+tab and use word now, but it's the same sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelpoint Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 At its most basic it could simply record what the killing blow was and display that below the Soldiers portrait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'd be happy with name, rank, missions, and kills. Anything else is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svidangel Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 What, how were half of my soldiers killed by "Sarg. Thothkins?" He isn't even in my game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 You just think I'm not in there. You see all that extra space in the Chinook? Just for me and my stealth gear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Pancakes Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 You just think I'm not in there. You see all that extra space in the Chinook? Just for me and my stealth gear... So THAT'S why it kept screaming whenever I dumped boiling water there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 yes, thank you so much for your obsessive compulsive cleaning disorder Commissar. The Xeno-troops salute their germ free environment. As do I, if only through gritted teeth and burn gauze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
