at what point does the game determine the alien race for a UFO?
« on: October 26, 2013, 01:02:52 pm »
because I just had a situation where I shot down a UFO and saved the game, then sent a skyranger there. I started the battle, and encountered snakemen. the mission went terrible, I reloaded my previous save, sent the skyranger again, started the battle and now there were sectoids! I thought the alien race was determined at mission generation?

Do you have the save and does it reproduce? As in load it again and floaters?

unfortunately, no, I overwrote that savegame... too bad. I'll try to reproduce the situation, see if it comes up again.
