Suggestions / Mission accomplished shouldn't force back to base
« on: July 06, 2019, 05:49:35 pm »
Would add some depth to have one dropship do multiple missions before returning to base. Of course this would be a mod feature because vanilla shouldn't be changed. Just a little thing. It would still set on a course for home as a reasonable default, but you would be able to redirect it.

OXCE Suggestions Rejected / Re: [Suggestion] Turn-based air combat
« on: July 05, 2019, 05:48:37 pm »
Xenonauts air combat, while fun at first, is so non-procedural (same optimal algorithm for same craft vs UFO combination) that even the developer of its sole megamod has admitted that autoresolve would be better. Though, he might take offense at me quoting him this much.
I am hopeful that Xenonauts 2 will have multiple units in a fight, allowing for some depth. Either way the fights play themselves out, so worst case it's a neat-looking auto-resolve.
I don't doubt that it's possible to simulate a better air combat in battlescape using mods. The hardest parts to mod would be actually replacing air combat with that (say, maybe you have a multi-stage mission, and you can only send interceptors to landed UFOs) and reducing turn rate. But it would be pretty difficult to mod every other part, and ultimately harder to control / longer than it needs to be. Feel free to create it if you like tkzv, but no one else is going to.

There's no terrain in the air so so far I and many major modders see autoresolve-ish air combat as best.

I'd much rather play on easy ironman than hard savescum. But okay.

"capturing the landed UFO" you really are new to this mod, huh? This should be good.

Logistics > Bio Lab is the agreed upon optimal start. Double the men on some missions, then boost your research for little investment.
Should also build and stock 1-2 extra gyms immediately imo. Money isn't a problem, blood is.

@Solarius it's not possible to make them all the same race with different starting stats?

Or anti-elerium. Or just have a ufopaedia page for it.

Efrenesparto, that's what ranks are for. Your point is still valid, but not very imo.

Randomized stats would mean you can't math out when a sectoid would react, or whether a melee can hit you. Otherwise doesn't matter imo.

« on: June 16, 2019, 06:13:33 pm »
When I was first playing the mod I suspected that some of the Dossiers would allow me to recruit unique soldiers with the same name and very strange stats. It wouldn't take too much work (basically just design their stats and faces and implement a research for it), though it might break the game.
