SavageAsHeLL Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 It would be great if we could group up soldiers to make them easier and faster to move in groups. I understand Leap Frogging is probably the best method, but at times it would be great to move groups together instead of clicking one by one. Another suggestion would be changing the soldier number. I have 8 soldiers in my Chinook and as you can move them around your chopper before leaving in combat from the base, you cannot change their number. So when i move my soldiers in groups, for instance soldier 1 has better aim so he has a sniper, but solder 6 can carry more so he has a rocket launcher. If i move them together in a certain area, i have to switch back and forth between 1 and 6, rather than making number 6 soldier number 2 instead, making it easier to switch back and forth while moving together in a certain area.

jars_u Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would be in favor of a group move to speed up some of the battles, but only if movement stopped if an alien etc. was sighted and I could go back to moving them indiviudally with the movement points that I have left that turn.

Buzzles Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Is there a seat selection screen I am overlooking? Yes. In the aircraft tab. Go to the dropship tab. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jars_u Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks! With the vehicle removed from the helicopter - there is enough space for 18 Xenonauts but I could only assign a maximum of 12 to it? Edited July 9, 2012 by jars_u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The craft have a maximum number of passengers and a maximum number of vehicles. Those numbers don't always tie up to how many physical spaces the craft has. For example you may have spaces to fit four vehicles but the craft is outfitted to be able to transport only two. Or you may have eighteen spaces but the Chinook only has 12 seats, no standing allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jars_u Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ... no standing allowed I want to be able to stack my Xenonauts like cords of wood - I should be able to get 36 in that Chinook - they can "drop and roll" down the ramp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, or just strap 'em to the Chinook and to the front of tanks. Extra protection for vehicles and it saves space. Operation human shield.

Chris Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Incidentally, it is possible to move another soldier before the other one finishes his move. The hotkeys allow you to move a lot of troops quite quickly that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for the ramp if you stack them like that. At about 3 seconds in you see your troops being 'deployed'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
