Unrelated question - are Zombies supposed to be flying missions? I got a Zombie Military Transport and a Zombie Sentry flying a Crackdown mission. Should I expect a Zombie cruiser knocking on my hideout's gates?

Also - got a Rod of Bliss from a lucky underwater adventure (loving them!) - the 'Use' function costs 100% of your TU's. Is it supposed to be so? Only as a means of keeping stunned enemies stunned? Same goes for Manacles?

RE:suppression fire

A possible implementation would be to add a small (5-10 pts perhaps) morale damage to heavy autofire weapons. While not really true suppression, it's probably the most that can be done with the current game state. Come ot think of it - the morale damage could be added to any weapon's attack - multiple snapshots would most likely have a similar (if somewhat reduced) effect on morale.

A better solution (though I'm not sure it's possible or scriptable) is dual-effect bullets - the projectile hit-and-damage + an invisible, small radius 'explosion of fear'. That would allow even near-misses to spread panic.

Addendum - I cheated in a Fortuna successfully by adding it to a save, so it's not an issue with the craft itself.

I've actually had to register to do it, but...

I want to report a fatal crash - on trying to manufacture a Fortuna (I'm fairly certain it goes the same for other Bonny variants) I get a full shutdown-to-desktop crash - "A fatal error has occurred: code 0xc0000005". See the log attached for details. I can research it and so on, but the moment I select it for manufacture and click "Begin manufacture" button, the crash occurs.

I've tried to do a fresh install, thinking it was a punishment for my fiddling with the rules file too much. Modified the rules file on a fresh install only to remove dependecies and reduce time to 1 for appropriate research (to short-cut into manufacture option). Also removed the cloaking device from requirements (to not have to wait for it). Crash still occurs when trying to build the damn thing.

Attached all the relevant info.

EDIT: I'd attach the .dmp file as well, but the boards won't let me add a file with that extension. Give me a shout if you need it.

ps. Tee research topic for the space missions is missing a text -  STR_SPACE_MISSIONS_PREQ shows up in my research instead of  something less... 'code'.
