[Suggestion] Unique UFO numbering
« on: December 17, 2023, 05:52:55 am »
Would it be possible to assign a unique number to every spawned UFO and then use it everywhere in mission type and info dialogs?
For example, UFO #3, landing site #3, crash site #3, etc. This way I can understand if this is same UFO landed that I tried to shoot previously.

Please stop opening requests which are clearly incompatible with vanilla.

Yes, it is possible.
Yes, it is easy to do.
And no, I will not change it, just because one person wants it and make thousand other people unhappy.
For changes incompatible with vanilla, use own fork.
