Greetings everyone!
I made this little mod, I was inspired by the Retaliator (an improved Interceptor) found here
https://www.openxcom.com/mod/retaliator. I figured out it would be nice to have an improved Skyranger in addition to the Retaliator. I looked around and didn´t find what I was looking for, so I made one myself! It´s obviously my first OpenXCom mod, so it´s just a modified ruleset and slightly recolored ufopedia image and sprite of the craft when sitting in base. I might try modifying how it looks in battlescape as well, but for now, its just a normal Skyranger when on mission.
You can research it after discovering Alien alloys and UFO Navigation. It´s faster and more durable, while being able to use one weapon. It might be way too good (suggestions welcome) but I think the speed is still rather low and it won´t be really able to catch most UFOs anyway.
Names and ufopedia description are avaiable in English (of course) and Czech.
Here are its stats pasted from the ruleset
