Oh right, that explains the second part then. And I'm using the 3.1 version, I suspect I must have downloaded it right before you published the 3.3 update, seeing as I have downloaded it only like two days ago or thereabouts. I'll try updating.

Whoops, niculinux is right, looks like I should have used the other forum section.

Hello there! I have recently installed the wonderful OpenXcom as well as this mod, and I just had to sign up here because there's two things that I can't get out of my head.

First, are MiBs supposed to pop up all the time? I swear I get their ufos a lot, way more often than regular aliens. Playing on... uh... I'm a filthy casual, I think it's the middle difficulty. I mean for one alien ufo there's like three or four MiB ones, not even exaggerating. Not a single base either, it's all just terror or them just flying around in their large scouts, getting shot down and then exterminated by my rad dudes.

In fact, I was starting to think I ought to edit the ruleset somehow, so frequent were the MiB missions. Would that be the ufo mission weight variable under particular regions?

Second, somewhere in this thread there's a mention of capturing MiB leaders which leads to interrogation and research. Except not a single time have I been able to cap one. I even mind probed a dude and confirmed he was a commander before stunning. Is there a prerequisite or anything like that, or have I just missed something really obvious like usual?
