Dear Dioxine,

Have Tritons been ditched? I can't seem to make any. I am running J3  - no problem and J5 - no tritons. Sorry I am wailing but not well at the moment and I looked through the change logs and did not see anything.

Also, when I do those "catacomb" missions for coins where you can't see anything and there are spiders or three enemies, when I throw electro-flares the game crashes - sometimes.

Keep being great,

Maggy

You need to have RNG on your side and let the game spawn Reticulians early in your game, becouse you need their stuff researched to get Triton.

By pressing "Space", or clicking "Screen Lock" you can activate "Night vision" that lets you see what your gals can without darkness. I don't know anything about bug, becouse I use archers with flame arrows to illuminate areas (if I need to). Just stop using electroflares.

Has been fixed in a recent OXCE version (28.10.2018 or newer).

Nothing ever gets ditched except for rare cases of egregious design mistake - as it was with Hired Mercs before and Sanbags recently. Sometimes old stuff gets replaced/expanded, which can cause a grind too; a million voices screamed and fell silent when I removed the option to make prostitutes out of all female slaves :)

Psionic prostitutes could have brought a lot of profit though

...I found myself as the blindfolded man;
With thousands of hands that caressed flesh of mine.
There is no place to rest for me since then.
Recalcitrant, with greed I stride from stash to stash
The hollow soul alike
That has been lost on boundary line.

Buyable auxilaries like blood dogs are now. They used the Megapol Apeman sprite, were just as tough and came with boom gun and punch attack. The ussue was that you could hire them the moment you managed to subdue any merc, which isn’t that hard if you camp in Airbus and wait untill one wanders close enough.

Can someone tell me whether the shotgun fist inflicts 1 damage and 10 stun on the enemy or on the user?

Shotgun fist applies the 1 hp and 10 stun to the user.  To the enemy it applies 4 rounds of birdshot damage. (14 damage X 32 pellets in all blasts).

Admiral Del Corazon:  Huge boost to bravery but should be used by high ranking gals.  You can put it on a gal to see the impacts.  This makes bravery scaling weapons especially attractive (Boarding Guns, Handles, Billhooks, etc.).  Use Alt in the inventory screen with a gal wearing the outfit to compare damage potentials of these weapons.
