Just registered to give me 100% thanks for this amazing effort by the devs - I never played the original x-com, starting on from TFTD which I absolutely loved and this has inspired me to try it out. Having a lot of fun so far!
One quick question relevant to TFTD 1.0 whenever that is ready - are there plans to implement alien colonies by Alien type, so they aren't always Lobstermen/Tentacults on the 2nd level? The one thing made me want to always play the original was having each base have a set race to promote more variety - now that I can play with the many many improvements I'm looking forward to this.
