[Solved] Behavior of unload all shortcut ("x") for soldiers on a craft.

[R1dO]

I'm not sure if intended but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Noticed this when trying to unload all soldiers from a craft using the route:
base->crafts->Select a craft->Soldiers button-> Unload all shortcut ("x")

What did i expect:
 Only soldiers from the current craft would be unloaded
What did i observe:
 Soldiers from all crafts on the current base were unloaded

Were my expectations wrong or is this unintended behavior?

it's intended

X = remove from all
Z = remove from current

Honestly, I don't like this... Pressing X in the inventory only clears this particular soldier, so why would it be different with craft?

As a player, in 25 years of playing X-com, I've often needed to remove all soldiers from a craft, but not a single time I needed to unload all the craft. And I already know that X is associated with clearing the current item... This doesn't add up at all.

I really think X and Z should be swapped here. Please.

They are configurable by the player.
(sorry, I'm not going to change the defaults that have been in use since 2015)

As for which one is more useful, I have never used Z, I use exclusively X. We can talk about our use cases over a beer some day

Thank you for confirming, it didn't occur to me to look in the "controls" section :faceslap:.

Now that I take a closer look I start to appreciate the consistency of this key-'combo' in relation to the other base 'management' keys,
"X" is everything unconditionally, "Z" is everything with some screen specific exceptions.

Let me just consider this as part of my learning curve
