Bug or business as usual? No UFOs nearby when starting new game

[Align]

I'm pretty sure the game mercifully spawns UFO missions near where you set your first base, but I started a few new games recently to test starting craft equipment without ever seeing any more than 1 in the first two months->terrible score->game over. Any chance radars are affected by the new timer system?:

one timer to rule them all

fix timer desynch by removing all the timers from dogfight state,
and unifying them in the geoscape.

the geoscape's dogfight timer handles updating all the dogfights at once,
and all dogfight functionality is handled sequentially from there,
rather than tying them all to seperate timers on different intervals.

this commit also changes some underlying functionality in dogfights to bring
them in-line with vanilla, most notably: escape timers run from the moment
the interception begins, rather than starting when a combat stance is selected.

relevent ruleset values have been updated to reflect this change.
mod authors: double your ufo break-off times and reload rates for both ufos
and craft weapons.

Timer update is for interception stage only. For breakoff. It doesn't affect mission timings.

Well, is it normal behaviour, then?

Is it normal that crafts won't be detected? Sure. There are always chances, if you won't cover area properly. You can hope that mice will encounter the cat itself, but in reality you should hunt for it and patrol all over, like Meridian did in his Hawaii challenge.

I get this too, after merge of my extended version with recent build I tried debug if I made every thing right with intercept ufo. But I couldn't do that because no ufo spawn near my base. I though that is bug on my side (some mis merge logic) but if other people get this Its probably problem with master branch.
I'm not sure yet this because I didn't debug it yet.
