Title: (Option) Skyranger windows (inspired by Xcomutil option)
Post by: new_civilian on March 31, 2016, 11:57:45 am

just something I tested...

Skyranger Windows mod

This mod adds tiny round viewing windows/slits to the sides of the Skyranger hull. While they allow your troops excellent scouting while still on-board, they also allow the aliens to see you, so you might get PSI attacked right away. It was inspired by XComUtil which has a similar option.

Important note: Don't worry, the windows do not allow any side to fire through them.

In the zip are some preview pics and the reference BMP file usable in PCKview. As you can see I merely added 4 tiny slits.

Civilian 2016. Feel free to use these files in any way you see fit.

Thanks. Though, I am still not too sure whom it helps more, your crew, because of better recon, or the sectoids for easier mindcontrol...  ;)

I guess there's a trade-off for everything  ;D
