Released Mods / Re: [TFTD][WIP]More USO Variants

looks cool, alot of nasty ambush places :)
And one of my mini-mod ideas is to add terror units (i.e. tentaculats) to supply ships too

@Solarius: A lot of it does seem down to the interface. I did come across a wish list while I was searching about. Copying what I'm seeing on the vanilla tfdt maps may or may not be helping, they seem to have enough bugs of their own.

Made another variant. This one has a more drastic layout change from the first one but I tried to reuse 'design language' from the original. I think of it as a floor swap. I'm focusing on the supply cruiser first because it's a USO I've raided lots so a) I know its tactical design well and b) it gets tedious and most in need of variety.

Released Mods / [TFTD]More USO Variants

Standing on the shoulders of what led to the Darkened UFO Vanilla Variants mods and the variant USOs by Civilian, I started work on making extra variety for TFTD.

Starting off I have two experimental variations on the fleet supply cruiser. UFO08b1 is meant to be vanilla balanced and I'm pretty happy with it as long as no bugs crop up. UFO08b2 won't make the final version in it's current form - it has a very nasty killzone right by the entrance which I think disrupts the vanilla flow too much. A few such nasty surprises might have their place though.

My questions are:
-What common map bugs should I be looking out for? This is my first attempt using the map editor
-Opinions on acceptable breaks from the vanilla layout? External entrances in different places?

Update:
Download link available and mod is ready for actual release after some more testing to make sure the latest changes haven't broken anything.

Features:
      -Interior variations for all vanilla USOs (38 new maps)
      -13 new original USOs (45 new maps)

1.0 - Fixed interception images for all new USOs
      - Fixed LOS issues with hunter variants (UFO05B.map, UFO05BL1.map, UFO05BL2.map, UFO05BL3.map

      - Everything that represents my own work is free to use, distribute, and modify
      - This explicitly includes: Modification, Combining in your own megamod, bug fixing (please do), converting to UFO, hosting elsewhere as long as it public and free to download
