Honestly, you can do whatever you want, I just meant to convey that the idea of an upgraded lobsterman is quite scary to me.

anyone wanting to help with the ufopedia entries for these guys let me know as creative writing is not my strength,I'd be overjoyed to help with this, if you want me.
as OwenQ already said, I wouldn't tie this into psionics, more like an application of the circuitry of the mind probe, which isn't tied into the whole psionic story.
I would agree if it was a technology line that was being developed by humans, but since we are only reverse-engineering it, there really isn't a reason we would need plasma pistol research in order to use a heavy plasma, if we have a heavy plasma to take apart. my reasoning was: once we have a weapon plus its ammo researched, we know how it works in general. at that point we should be able to use it (which is the way the original game does it).
if we opt for simply adding a "manufacturing XY" step, I'd vote for making the following things the requirement for the research of "manufacturing XY":
- weapon XY clip
- weapon XY
- elerium-115
- alien alloys
- elerium-115 plasma technology (for plasma weapons) or elerium-115 fusion technology (for blaster bomb) or elerium-115 stun technology (for small launcher)
...interesting point: should you also need elerium-115 fusion technology for manufacturing of alien grenades?
I considered getting really nasty and requiring any alien corpse research to unlock the Alien Containment facility as well, but that might be a tad much.
Any chance you would release the ableton live project file(or as a midi). I could dust off a few old synths and try re-recording your tracks with them (once my hobby room is finished, it's under construction atm)Sorry, I meant to reply to this earlier; but yeah, of course that can be done! I'm honored that you would take such an interest.
As I say a lot around these parts, "not yet" my TODO list is long enough to wrap around the Earth.Of course! Far more important to squash bugs and the like than to be fiddling around with audio niceties at this stage.
are you planning on releasing new soundtracks as time goes on? I feel like after a while this may become permanently seared into my brainI'd like to do a similar pack for TFTD once it's supported! Before settling on the Amiga sound, I was also trying out some more modern-sounding stuff which I may eventually go back and finish, but probably only if people want it, since modern synths are tons harder.
