Work In Progress / I saw these outside my window this morning...

Should I be worried?

Actually, it's my first map block & tileset mod.  Although the mod tools are a bit quirky, once you get the hang of them, you can do some pretty cool stuff.

Work In Progress / Map nodes

I just started playing around with MapView and have a few questions regarding nodes.  Does anyone know how the Flags, Spawn & Links' Dist settings work?

Suggestions / Geoscape: lacking a lack of direction

Info for UFOs always show a heading.  I think that for landed/crashed ships, their heading should be blank or "none".  Something along the lines of: if altitude=ground then heading="" else whatever

Suggestions / New alien mission

This idea is along the lines of making life a bit more difficult for our poor, harried X-Com Commander.

New alien mission: the feint.  A UFO appears somewhere near your base.  You shoot it down and send your crack team out to take care of business on the ground.  Once your transport is some distance away- BAM!  A battleship or two or six land on your rose bushes and come a-knockin' on your front door.  Shouldn't happen too often but enough to make you think long and hard about how many guys to put on your transport.

This is probably more for a mod than the base game.  And no, I have no idea how easy or difficult it would be to implement something like this.

Open Feedback / You know you're addicted to OpenXCom when...

...you get the chills and shakes when there are no new Git builds within the last hour.
...downing UFOs is top priority; recovering alien artifacts is second; eating, sleeping & bathing are a distant ninth.
...your e-mails to SupSuper, Warboy & other devs always begin with: "Hey man, I'm hurtin'... Could you help me out?..." 

Feel free to add any other symptoms.
