That was supposed to be a praise... I like them!

Edit: and I saw more of your new floor plans for excavator and fighter today... pretty sweet

Thanks, sorry didn't catch joke (as usual :D).
Well i am planing on creating even more UFO variants especially for Abductors and Terrorships. But since there already quite a few,  this has a rather low priority.

Would you like them to be packaged with some certain mapfiles? :P

EDIT: Need to test those sprites first, since it is my first time doing this. I also fixed some palette issues with some HandOb's, since i used the wrong palette from BigOb's instead of the proper one, confusing shit those palettes are.

I reworked the UfoPaedia Pictures once again, they do now look way better. Using the right palette really helped a lot :D

Yeah, nice.

If I may ask, what exactly are you going to do with these? Will they differ from the vanilla units? Will they be used by some other alien race?

I am shifting around Terrorunits between races a little bit. Those two are stronger then there originals, the Armored Sectopod as i call him is really nasty. But i am not spoiling :P They also do enforce Instant grenades Advanced option, for the players or they won't work as expected.

Btw Solarius, a certain Map files is just in making, as i write this.

EDIT: i am meaning thisone here:

What is the difference between your other mod the alien research mod and this one?

This one has alot of more content, more UFO Types, a lot of vanilla UFO variants and even more variants for UFO's like the Excavator. Also more alien Races, some slightly mixed races, new Terrorunits, more weapons etc.. all merged together with a good research tree. The terrormissions are designed to be really hard especially in the beginning.
You will not dominate the Skies until you get avengers, since you now have to enter into the UFO's firing ranges and will take damage trying to shoot them down, especially Terrorships, they are now really dangerous. Also expect economic trouble especially earlie on (at least until you can produce Lasercanons for selling).

Overall it should provide a very unique experience. I recommend playing it on Superhuman to get maxspawns.

Once Missionsscripting gets around i have planned to a add human faction also with some special missions.

If you like take a look at the Readme
To a full description of all features.

EDIT.: Be prepared for a high casuality rate and some "fuck this shit" moments ;)

The main difference from Superhuman to veteran and all the other dificulties is, on Superhuman additional Aliens will spawn in.
From other Races and also other Races Terrorunits.

I don't know what you mean, with saying it is really hard. If you did try it out then i am pleased to listen to any kind of feedback you can provide.

So the difference is just more aliens. Ok.

I always wonder that in the ufopedia the weight of the things aren't displayed. It is very important.

Or, some info about the choosen researches, or info about the manufactured things.
