Ok i think i get it now, and yeah it all sounds so cool. Can't wait for 1.0. Didn't dioxine estimate it to be released around september/october?

Silly comments aside, this talk of upcoming versions has me curious: You mentioned that the endgame factions are missing from the game, Dioxine, but I understood them to be mercenaries and stargods. There are supposed to be even crazier ones?

I am now pretty much waiting for reticulans to show up so I can get a mechtoid corpse for higher studies, while forcing retals to get power armor parts and farming merc supply ships for synthsuits, so I can make annihilator armors for a full thunderhorse (still setting up, I figured since I've got nothing else to do while waiting for reticulans, I might as well farm and harvest). That comment made me consider just restarting as there's no point in trying to experience an endgame that isn't really there, while the early game seems to be quite a bit more developed than when I last started.

2017 maybe :P

Because the points 2, 3 and 4 in the future plans are not implemented yet, so by now a bit less of 50% of the mod is completed, hope Dioxine would correct if i'm wrong?

Edit: i aegerly hope to be wrong, hopefully to see mid completed by early 2017 :P

I think the number is closer to 80%. But it's still a HUGE amount to go, considering est. worktime so far at 3000 hrs.

A question: First time I'm playing since the update, and I had a Watchtower mission where that blue robot-like decoration was planted right outside the door to the watchtower, preventing access. Is this intentional?

Gah, of course. Great incentive to make sure that folk brings explosives on missions now, by the way.

You can shoot it with muskets, that's what I did on my watchtower mission. Beware though, it blows up so shooting it from the next tile over isn't a great idea.

I have smashed it with a hammer multiple times before, it did not seem to do any damage to my unarmored gals

Yeah, my first encounter I hammered it. Been doing it ever since, never seen a point of damage.

Query: Interested in hand-tuned improvements to the 'pedia images? I can get the color to match up a bit better, as in the Space Truckin' image, and/or retone the whole image to "sell" the subject better with X-Com's limited palette, as seen in the "basement execution".

Sure thing, you can submit any improved pictures and I might add them - if I like them :)
