1. Just wondering how difficult would be creating condition where for example Heavy Plasma could be used only by Captain rank ect.

2. Another thing - craft utility slot for additional shield,  acceleration ect.  would it be also possible?

Just wondering if somebody is trying to tweak alien AI. I have feeling that SNEAK AI mod doesn't work. Aliens just walking around doing nothing. Very often they staying in 1 place for few turns even if my soldiers seen them...ect...

OXCE Suggestions DONE / Re: MMB show alien rank without Mind Probe?

Yes, you're completely right... I myself have noticed exactly the same thing yesterday when playing Area 51.

The original feature was implemented for PirateZ, where various ranks of the same race are actually also visually very different... for example Bugbear, Catgirl and HanSolo are all the same race, just different rank... but on the battlescape they look completely different. Therefore showing unit name, instead of race, was natural.

This is not the case in vanilla, where floater soldier and floater commander look identical... and telling them apart just by M-click is a cheat.
I will fix that soon-ish and make it configurable.

Great that you gonna fix it. In meantime I will not use it

Just wondering is it intended that Middle Mouse Button show Alien rank during battle without Mind Probe? It's cheat IMO. How to turn it off? Or block showing Alien rank?

Ammunition always defines weapon power.  Even in the case of the vanilla infinite lasers, those use themselves as 'ammo' with an infinite clip size.

Thx for quick reply...so only way to create wach clip for each weapon.

Quick description:
Laser Cell - ammunition for all laser weapons. Is it possible to set power to weapon not a ammunition? Or it's impossible and power is determinated only by ammunition

But in one of the cases you can prevent wasting by shortly switching to aggressive.
In the other case, it is always wasted.
Pretty big difference for me.

Yes I was going to write about it

Yes, if the previous missile is still flying while the last missile is fired, this will not happen.

But in vanilla (and in most mods) reload times and weapon
ranges are set so that only one missile is flying at a time... you can change it, but it has also disadvantages... for example, if the first missile destroys the target, the second (already fired) missile is wasted.

In both case there is a chance that missile is wasted..

Two variants:

..I think I know how to solve it. If missile is still flying then second missile will hit but if missile hit the target before reload then craft retreat from battle after second shoot. It happens on low range weapons

the key is to set proper range and reload time....

No. With ammox2  is fine..both missiles hitting target so it's solution.
