Well, it's hell of a trip for 8 floaters with only 6 seats in the ship, to travel from mars to earth. =)

You should recount, those are 9 not 8 :P

Maybe they take turns sitting.

They are Floaters... do they really need seats?

Let me put it that way: Imagine your starship accelerating, when you are standing in the air... *bamm* 100 Floaters on the wall, 100 Floaters from mars... *sing*

Well they do have artifical gravity, so they effect you describe would not be there to see. In any case they have docking stations :D

Those aren't seats or docking stations...

... it's where Floaters drop off their waste... aka their "floaters".  :-X

Floating Floater floaters dumps, which will float within your Floatership, so floating inside the Floatingship will bring in abscure floating floaters?

No, only until the next acceleration. Then it doesn't float any more. It then sticks. :P

It will still float :P since Floaters, keeep there floating floaters floating, when floating in Floatership towards Earth, which needs to be floated with floating Floaters who all do the floating thing and do floaters while floating.

Got it?

I am not even going to bring a screenshot here, I get such a situation so often you can picture it in mind.
Turn 1. Two THROWERs full of goddamn HE packs and smoke grenades see 3 floaters and a cyberdisc. AT FIRST TURN. They drop a smoke grenade.
Turn 1.5. Cyberdisc decides he's smart enough to go right to the Skyranger, see the throwers and shoot them
Explosions. Explosions are beautiful.

And then there were none. Bullshit. Screw OpenXCom, I am out.
