Does the Overcharged Radar have some special ability beyond the expanded radar range?  From the description, it sounds like it should be able to make some enemy ships crash but I don't see anything like that in the UI.

It acts as a base defense weapon. It’s weak, but maybe it can crash the ambulance.

Anyway, shouldn’t we be able to buy animal parts on the black market? It’s strange that I have to potentially wait for months for a giant spider to show up before I can manufacture witch outfit. The spider silk looks like rather trivial thing.

Also I wouldn't mind adding it to nomads' inventory... At least there would be a point to killing them. :P

Which revision of OXCE+ is the latest X-Piratez based on?
I'm compiling it myself, and run into errors upon startup on the revision from 8th of June. Similarly the very latest one fails to start with a yaml-cpp error.

The YAML syntax for commendations changed, that's the error you're seeing.  There's a ruleset fix floating around that should let you use OXCE+ 3.9, otherwise the latest compatible version is 3.7. If you ask Meridian nicely, I'm sure he can point you to both.

Either downgrade to 3.7 or use the fixed ruleset attached to this post: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4058.msg85777.html#msg85777

I have no problem with that as long as it functions to keep the pets alive.

Yes, mining lasers still exist.

Welcome to the new versions. All animals, be it dogs, parrots or boomosaurusi now require animal cells. I think only burrow has them, as it stands, and even then it's only 10 slots. Same applies to fishies, but... uh, since no building can support them, they just die.

Man, I really hate the new alternate battlescape musics... the original two are fine but it should have continued along the same vein as dark and brooding.

These new ones literally sound like end-of-level or bonus-stage music from consoles, the kind of which you'd only hear for like 30 seconds as your points were tallied up. But having to endure listening to them for probably 6-10 minutes while dealing with a mission, geez they do not fit at all. Its like playing Silent Hill but with mario music in the background.

And I will make a strong recommendation along with this since its related, but shied away from before - the generic "mission" music (AS_Theme2) needs to DIE... or be switched out as pre-mission briefing music of some kind.

I dont even mod these things like I normally would, I just go into Piratez sound folder and I replace them with something that I want, its that bad.
