Oh, right, might be. So Marsec is the guild subfaction. Better, but the text is still not quite correct I think. Though it was probably written hundreds of years ago, so it doesn't have to.

The Slave Maid entry in the bootypedia still claims that you cannot transfer slaves between bases.

Ancient Log RX22-11 says that the guild used to be Marsec, is that still valid, with Marsec now being an Academy subfaction?

Maybe they teamed up with the Universal Brotherhood?

Even the description says that it is an out of the way temple. That is why you go there in the first place.

I'll have to test the smoke some more.

And I switched to ARs/BRs mostly, and melee in the backpack as Arthanor. Though I disagree with the pistols, as I meet a lot of unarmored enemies.

I agree that smoke was too good, but now it hardly matters, even when embarking, because often enemies start too close for it to be useful.

I think it has to do with the enhanced viewing range. Now enemies (and friends, of course) can see much further through smoke. So now enemies within ~15-20 tiles (I haven't counted) can see right through it, even if you dropped the 'nade right at your feet.

I am moving away from using a lot of pistol+melee gals because of the new sight range and the fact that smoke grenades are a lot less useful now.
Any chance to make smoke great again?

After playing around with the save, it seems that it is not the Imperial Probe mission that is the problem but rather this one:
  - type: STR_MUTANT_POGROM_DISTRESS
    region: STR_NORTH_AFRICA
    race: STR_ETHEREAL
    nextWave: 1
    nextUfoCounter: 0
    spawnCountdown: 480
    liveUfos: 0
    uniqueID: 56
    missionSiteZone: 4

I would also prefer to not have the weight in the item name. It would look ugly.
And it isn't a really important stat for me. I know pistols are light, SMGs are heavier and so on, that's enough. I'll just fill the gals up with explosives, and the weight of those is easy to remember, if needed.

One thing is that you don't depend on finding at least as much ammo as you use up, as you can produce your own.
I prefer the boarding gun to the machine gun because it is more flexible, as it can do more than autofire, though I hardly use it as it is so heavy. The Linux SMG is the only one I use currently, because it packs quite a punch.

Thanks for the heads up!
I know Iron Man is bad, but I am too weak-willed to not reload. And an LP is more fun for everyone if people die in between. And not just the nameless ones. I usually try to make backups, as I need to navigate to the folder to get to the screenshots anyway.

Edit:
Btw, I know the effect bad teachers can have, I gave up French after a year because of my teacher. She might have been your teachers soul sister.

Maybe because I upgraded from .98d1 to .98f?
I'll ignore the mission, though I would have liked to see it, never had it before.

When I follow a Dark Ones Probe with "the keep" mission my game crashes, probably when the probe lands. Happens with both the bonny and the skyranger.
Errormessage:
vector::_M_range_check:_n (which is 4) >=this->size() (which is 3)

Save attached.

Complete installation with all needed files would probably be illegal. By copying your files you proof to have the original game.

Love the church and the memories of Apocalypse's Temples it invokes.
