Meridian, I noticed that after a mission, if the live containment facilities are full you get the option to transfer the excess captives to another base, but the same is not true if your stores are full. Perhaps this could be added? I think it would be a useful addition especially in light of the fact that when containment is full you get to transfer captives AND equipment.

Done.

1/ Projectile-weapon basic damage preview... activated by holding ALT key... displayed on crosshair cursor

Damage displayed considers:
a/ base weapon power
b/ power bonus based on soldier's stats
c/ power reduction based on distance
d/ damage distribution (e.g. 0-200%, 50-150% and so on)

It does NOT consider:
- armor of the enemy
- resistances of the enemy
- many secondary OXCE effects (armor effectiveness, immunities, non-heath damage, etc.)

2/ Melee-weapon damage preview... activated by CTRL+M... displayed in a pop-up

Considers weapon's power, power bonus and damage distribution.

That would be immensely useful.  Does it work with unresearched weapons?  Would make the early game more varied since you could see if a weapon was good before researching it, at which point you generally have something better.

It looks similar to the hit log, which is sadly under featured.

It does now... but it shouldn't... I'll change that.

Sorry for cluttering the thread... But I think I finally know why orange!

Just look at this:



Darth Vader apparently uses the same visual tech... Or he's just so rad that his vision mode was pirated too!

Nope. We have to wait for the new Piratez version.

Weapon damage preview is cool. Will it be visible in the inventory screen too?
