I have one thought that haunts me.  On Dune it has always been a very small numbers of air transport. Because of the sandstorms mostly. Maybe flying venciles should all be converted into a driving ones? i think its qite a design challenge. Sorry for english, i am using translator.

Similar idea was raised here.

It would be a pity to not include ornithopters in a Dune-themed game, but they can totally be balanced as short-range, small crew vehicles, as opposed to land vehicles which can patrol in the desert for weeks at a time.

I thot about crowling bases themself too, but, i think, it will be too complicated.

Ideally, I would like to have a mixture between land vehicles and flying craft. However, the problem is to get nice battlescape graphics for land vehicles with wheels or chain-drive. I have also not seen those in other mods.

I think a basic recolor of this one would de nicely (It's an APC-like flat vehicle, called "Mudranger")

However it's a vanilla UFO mod. On these forums, I found a post by Luke83 showing a screenshot of it in OpenXcom, but it doesn't seem he released the ported version.

Just had a look and it's going well, nice to see this going along

Meanwhile, I'm thinking of adding your League of Superheroes units to Redux, the heroes as civilians and the red shirts as hostile humans, if you don't mind.

Thanks for the hint. I was not aware of this. Looks quite interesting.

Sure, I am always happy when other people use my mods.
Will there be a cosplay-convention map in your mod?

Well there's only 4 superheros so it would be a repetitive convention.

But... if I had more cosplay characters then I could actually design some sort of a convention building...

I had completely forgotten about this - I've seen it when it was posted. And I can and will port this to OpenXcom. This is simply too nice

Looks like a workable ladder too?

[davide]

I like it very much too

[Solarius Scorch]

Yeah, I've been intended to steal it for quite some time. Not for the FMP though, I'm planning something bigger.

It would fit nicely with one of my mission ideas for Piratez... one from a really deep drawer.
