I was wondering why all my gals are suddenly getting insane and unconscious during a landed UFO mission. I'm fighting against these weird globe headed humanoids and small cyberdiscs. I don't receive any message about mind control attempts, yet all my gals constantly drop their guns and start running. Drinking beer seem to help, but not all of them are carrying refreshments, so the mission is getting a bit irritating.

Adding two lines before the "Units Produced" section is not an objective improvement, but garnering to personal preferences.

Adding even one line would be objectively better (clearer) design. But if the engine doesn't allow more text the limitations are understandable, although unfortunate.

And finally 

I couldn't agree more. With very little effort this research screen could be improved a lot.

Actually, I just wrote Skyranger because it's the starting troop transport in vanilla XCOM. What I meant was Airbus. In the wiki it's said that Airbus doesn't have global reach, so I just cannot go to the terror mission that's out of Airbus' reach. Sorry for the confusion.

Likely the only option is to send it back to base and let it refuel while hoping the mission doesn't end.  Though I can't see how you got a skyrangers fuel low enough to not be able to reach somewhere, I'm pretty sure those are supposed to have global range.

The Skyranger status is not "Refueling" but "Ready". Fuel is 100%. My Hideout is in Scandinavia and the Terror mission is in Australia.

Does the load weight of the Skyranger affect the fuel consumption?

Thanks guys, you were really helpful! I found the Clothing section from Piratepedia and equipped by gals with Rogue clothes, since they seem like overall well-rounded clothes with good resistances to both heat and cold.

Was there an option somewhere to force Skyranger to continue to mission destination despite running low on fuel? I can't reach a Terror mission destination due to running out of fuel despite full fuel capacity. Is there something I can do to reach the destination?

Thank you for clearing that out for me! Maybe the display screen could be made a bit more clear to avoid confusion. I have to try robbing again later. For some reason I couldn't do it even when I ceased my other research projects, so all my Brainers were free to do the robbing. Or does robbing require something else than a Brainer?

you don't need them - you get them 

So one would think, but it clearly says in "Required Items" 10 Credit Chips etc and then how many you currently have. I have never had enough to be able to "rob" from any of my prisoners. The button to Rob a prisoner never becomes visible since I don't fulfill the requirements, which always are some Credit Chips and some other items as well.

During missions I often encounter either extreme cold or hot weather that both drain stamina and even knock some of my units unconscious after awhile. Do certain clothing work better in cold weather in particular? I imagine stripping your gals naked will help in warm climate areas. Are there any other ways of combating weather conditions?

Also I'm not sure which items to use to regain stamina lost due to harsh weather conditions.

BTW is the complete xPiratez music collection available for download somewhere? If not, where are the audio files stored in the installation?

Why do I need so many credit cards to steal things from prisoners? It's kind of counter intuitive.

Can someone tell me how robbing captured units works? I haven't been able to rob anyone even though I have a lot of prisoners to rob. Do I need a facility of some kind of something else? What else can I do with captured enemy units? Research and sell, of course, but anything else?

Are there smoke grenades or other similar items in xPiratez? What about motion scanners? I feel the lack of these items are limiting my tactical options in combat. If they are in the game, what do i need to get them?

It was the Academy drone. I loaded the game and this time it died with one reaction shot from a laser pistol! So I was just really unlucky the first time.
