4. - Crucial - as long as you're on fire, you automatically PANIC unless your Bravery is 110 or more. I can't really picture someone who is able to fight despite being on fire.

Yeah, but...



:P

Version 0.6 is up! The inventory pictures underwent a major overhaul. Thanks Ran, it wouldn't have happened without your contribution!

You're welcome!

Now I'll work on those missing handobs...

By the way - one  question about the Esper:
I put great efforts into capturing that guy alive - 3 times, but back at the base all I had was a normal Academician that didn't know anything. ???
Was I just tricked or is this a bug?

I might be wrong, but I think you need to research "The Social Hierarchy" before you can capture Leaders (Espers are effectively Leaders), and interrogate a Leader of that particular faction to get a Commander. I'm not sure, but maybe to capture a Leader you need to interrogate a low-rank member of that faction.
Also, I think Espers are female, so not technically guys? :)

Read the Bootypedia :) No, you can't interrogate higher-ranking people right away. You need to build up your smarts else they'll outwit you and escape. :)

Spoiler alert:

Social Hierarchy is needed to interrogate a Leader-equivalent, and interrogating any Leader is needed to interrogate a Commander. Psionics are needed to interrogate Ethereals, and you need to start from the lowest ranking one and move up from there one rank at a time.

so hey, regarding your melee weapons... have you played around with the strengthApplied feature yet? it's coded in such a way that it adds your strength to the damage of your swing rather than replacing it, so a drill or saw type weapon that has inherent damage that doesn't rely on strength would have set damage (ie: false), your standard melee weapon (say an axe) could have 0 damage, but still be deadly in the hands of a strong user, and a high tier weapon (say a power sword) could add a bunch of damage on a successful hit, turning a weakling into a warrior, and a warrior into a god.
this should also work for ranged weapons, like say a bow or a throwing knife.
i had fantasy openxcom in mind when adding this, but i'm sure you can see how it may align with your interests :)

Woo! This is great news indeed, I will apply this new feature right away. You are my hero! Since it works with ranged weapons, no problem with applying it to the wall-crushing hammer which must stay a 'ranged' weapon...

Woo, I have fanart! My first one ever!
As my way to say thanks, a new version is up :)

Any way to watch these video materials? I'd love to see a let's play done by someone :)

@Warboy: it would be nice if the fact that weapon's damage depends on soldier's Strength was displayed in Ufopaedia, for example, instead of 20, it would read S+20 or just +20.

Hahahaha, that was the most funny thing I've seen in a long time!
Shame on me for forgetting to disable buying Fusion Grenades... (update in a few hours)
Shame on Jadestar for not reading installation instructions and than wondering like a stoned person why female soldiers have male names :)

Jade is there to LEAD, not to READ ;)

Controversal design choices and the usual cool-to-hate mentality of stream aside, it looks like an awesome and fun game conversion.
XCom game mechanics indeed seem to fit pirate (or a bunch of alien invaders') side as well as ridiculously cut-down "ufo defence" startup.
