I've been considering a similar Research/Mission structure, where completing research on project A generates missions B, C or D, which then trigger additional missions. Research would be called instead Intelligence or Operations or Planning.

Yeah it provides some interesting opportunities!


Wow that's gonna be a load of work!!!

Thats very true :D However, a lot is already done. I am currently working on the last endgame items, and the "research"-tree is pretty much completed. But still there is a lot to do when it comes to balancing, testing, sprites, strings, soundtracks, ++

Yeah, it has the potential to become a cult thing, heavily referencing movies like They're Alive!

You mean They Live. I like the idea of this mod, I love starting out (and usually remaining) fairly low-tech throughout the game. That's why I've been obsessed with Piratez lately. Hope this mod comes to fruition!

Sorry, I'm a bit like those web toys which automatically translate a phrase from language A to language B and then back and forth, until both versions are stable (and normally pretty far from the original).

And yeah, this idea is pretty awesome.

Thanks! Staying low-tech for a long time is definitively the plan. Not until mid game will firearms of some significance available to buy. End game will be more high tech.

The new Abductor (and a few other UFOs, and a ton of other things) are now completed. And this mod is getting larger than first planned. Have even started working on new terrains now (and its super fun :D ):

Seriously: Even if there's not a completed mod, yet, is there a chance you might make these ufos stand alone? They are awesome.

Yes I am interesting too.
The important is that you do not change tilesets or at least that you rename eventualy changed original files
Thanks

Alright then :D

Was actually already planning to release the battleship variants as a standalone mod. I'm just gonna make one more interior variant and then it will be released.

The other UFO's will need a little more time as they are not yet completed. And I have no skills in creating dogfight images, and that have to be done somehow too.  :-\

I don't even know how to do that yet, so that's fine :P

Something i always wanted, but so far didn't had the time to make.

You don't mind if i take a look at them right?
