I was wondering, is it possible to have two or more enemy crafts on a map, or technically have 'one' craft that is made to look like it's several smaller crafts with terrain between them?

Yes and yes. But all UFOs must have the same tileset.

Are there such UFOs in x-piratez? If not, how come?

Technically, You are flying UFOs. 

What with the Cloaking Device and all...

I know but i'm talking about multiple enemy crafts on one map

Let me politely respond with a counter-question. Why would we need multiple UFOs on the map? It serves no purpose. We have tiny ships with 1 enemy and huge ships with up to 80 enemies. I think that covers the spectrum pretty well.

I could see using it for a few special missions. Like say raiding a dockyard later game for helliurm/capsules. Couple of ships on TFTD industrial tileset. But for the vast majority its not that useful a feature. 

[Dioxine]

It is useful, but so far I haven't build a mission that makes use of that feature. Although potentially it allows, for example, for building docks with several ships, effectively doubling the number of tiles available. Removing hard tile number limitation would be more beneficial, though.

Btw, is it flavor stuff like this that is needed to reach 1.0, or more essential features or just balancing?

Mid-Late game content, mostly missions/enemies.

And an intro!

And an intro!

Yeah i remember hearing about that intro, not the specifics however. Was it going to be a cinematic intro, a 'tutorial' intro (like one or several scripted tutorial missions), or...?

Why does the stormy suit cause extra combat stress?

[Dioxine]

Because it is dangerous to use it To answer truthfully, all flying armor has some sort of uncool penalty to compensate for the immense advantage it gives.

[legionof1]

Not like stress isn't manageable either. It only affects the speed of morale decay not the much more critical decay limit derived from bravery. Granted there are some edge cases where a large stress rate(greater then difference between current morale and 49) will trigger panic that would otherwise never happen. But generally speaking bravery 60 eliminates stress as a factor.

Small suggestion:

Swim suits should be able to wear an oxygen bottle in the backpack.

[Dioxine]

Good idea. This will make the choices for underwater mission more interesting.
