There is a new option in OXCE to allow unloading, even if the offhand isn't free. The ammo then is dropped to the floor.

As you noticed being able to reach missions is one of the most important things at the beginning. So i used to build another hangar and in the early game you can reach most places and missions using 2 vans and a car, where the car is sent to the far off places.
For research i would try to get biolab early. I think its Medicine --> adcanced Medicine --> Biolab. The additional 5 scientists help to speed things up early on. Then i would keep an eye on promotion I and II with all the techs that lead to them, so you get access to advanced equipment.

First tactic i recommend is to not start the game on superhuman, which i did out of habbit. It's more of a grind than anything else and enemy placement and numbers on most maps are rather wierd, with literally 30 guys standing foot to foot right next to your puny humvee, staring you in the eye. Apart from that pistols are key at the beginning because of their rate of fire. Haven't played much more than the beginning, so this is all i can say.

If you play as Ultramarines, disable the Imperial guard operations mod. I found that you can't recruit marines as long as that mod is enabled, no matter which strategy you pick.

I forgot to save the game, but i think i encountered a bug in a hulk mission. In the second stage of the mission some of my units started with less than the maximum of time units. It seemed to me they had the amount of TU's left with which they ended the previous stage. I'll add a save to this once i encounter it again. I use OpenXcom Extended 5.1 (2018-10-14).

Pogroms that don't give negative score if you ignore them.

What would you say is still missing that keeps you from playing it? I mean, you can complete the campaign and after winning you even get an outro. I think it is amazing that you can come back to the mod after a while and discover what has changed since you last played it.

Did you see them get zombified? Might not be intended , since in J6:

 Fix: Cats and Rabbits can no longer be zombified

I think i have a problem in my game with space freighters not showing up at all.  The only significant research i think i'm missing is a "belter" and i suspect thats an enemy on that freighter mission. I also updated the version several times during this campaign, so that could be the issue. Might be RNG, but i am waiting for quite some time now and could buy the planet from the space governor by now. It would be an offer he can't refuse.

I place extractors somewhere near the hangars as well. Enemy terror units (not he 2x2 units) have a tendency to camp on their second floor, and i'm uncomfortable having them elsewhere in the base. Better not having to watch too many directions.

Hello, i just have a short question. I have now updated mid-campaign to J6 and noticed that Harbinger doesn't need any power armor parts, which seems odd to me. Is this intended or is there something wrong in my savegame?

I think that was changed because you could stun enemies by force-feeding them moonshine in battle, which one could also consider to be weird. After battle that's a different story

I don't remember the handle to ever be buyable and am not sure about the stun baton. In my game i also can only manufacture both of them.

Its even manageable with what you send. Send the kraken in first with ramming speed to absorb all the damage.
