Hi 2 questions:

What are the requirements for missions with VIP units? I'm on August 2602 and haven't seen any VIPs yet.

This run I'm on my fourth mission against Deep One bases, and I've stopped counting missions against the Dream Relay, so so far I have a permanent squad of specialists. But nothing major from the other factions. Is this normal or am I missing something?

My first crash with this mod.

When I enter to a underwater mission and exit the vehicle to discover enemies, every time the game crash, it tells me that it can't find the sprite of hallucinoid.pck

I tried using a previous save to load some variant of the map ... I still have the crash
I tried reinstalling piratez... still crash
I have tried reinstalling XCOM and DEEP and it still crashes.
I loaded the game with the v.N10.0.2... working without problems.

Ty for the tips, 
 

@Vick
- After researching !!Bounty Hunting!!. Try to unlock Level C stages which start yielding some proper tokens.
- 25mm > 30mm > 50mm > Plasma Charger (best early game vessel weapon imo), and so on. I generally skipped missiles altogether, only using them on rare case-by-case basis. Research chain is honestly too complex for me to give you precise answer but you can help yourself by using Tech Viewer (Q on Geoscape)...

- They are for all intents and purposes Peasant soldiers ...

Thx I missed to manufacture BH Brass Badge (C)... wow
- I spent half of the time in the Tech viewer, I enjoying it, but the chain to get 25 mm or Krazy Hanna  ​is still far away, and thought that I was missing something obvious, like the Bass Badge.

Old returned player here.. I forgot so many things, that I even had to create a new account.
 
Easy early question. I'm on July-August of 2601

• Mutan Assassination trophy? When this missions are triggered?,
• Earliest aerial weapon? Which is the best chain of research?, I find weird that I could got  already several vessel but no weapons for them.. I feeling that I´m missing all the training targets of early months.
• After Barbarian-Warrior-Chain mail.. Next armour to aim? this month in many missions. I even couldn't leave the vessel with several foes aiming the door. with out being killed
• D.I.L.D.O. Any use in the medium-late game?
