I know they do but they can't be reduced to leaving the council by relations AFAIK, so it's not as big of a deal. In fairness I should have mentioned that.

True, but reducing funding to 0 would practically amount to them leaving - though I have never encountered that situation in the game, and I'm not sure it is even possible, given the randomized nature of alien missions. Countries leaving due to negative score would be an interesting mechanic.

I'm having troube finding the Advent clinic logs, I've done about 5-10 missons but found none, how do I get them?

Just noticed on a concealed mission (slander) Dart Pistols were allowed, but not their ammo (Type A)...
Kinda useless.

ok that is very weird then.
i had 4 dart pistols and 12 clips loaded (and double checked once the van got back to be absolutely sure its not my mistake), but there was no clips on equip screen and the dart pistols were empty.

I've found them after many and many clinic missions (don't know how much exactly)... It seems, scripts of ver. 0.9.9e work incorrectly. I've interrogated all types of hybrids, researched all techs, which depend from them, done all types of missions, but still hybrids' base haven't appeared. Same shit with Syndicate's missions: now it is July of 2000, and there were NO Syndicate's missions since early 1999.

Guys, anybody knows how the option "save scumming" works? I just want to know is this option re-roll chances of spawn of any mission after each loading or not?

It changes the RNG results.

If you reload before the spawn chances are calculated it will affect it; if you reload after it was calculated it won't affect it.

Got it, thanks.

Same with me, I've interrogated all of the Advent and Hybrid interrogation topics and yet for some reason I cannot find the logs which should be there, the most valuable thing to come out of the mission are the laser weapons that they use, for now I've reached a block on the Hybrid arc and It's fustrating, like how do I get the access key for the Advent embassies? There are no clear instructions on how to aquire these cards? I assume the logs are vital but alas I cannot find any for the life of me.

There are two types of clinic missions: "Suspicious Clinic" and "Sinister Clinic". The logs only spawn on the "Suspicious Clinic" map. I don't know if this is an oversight - the logs should probably be recoverable from both clinic types.

I've done both types but not found any whatsoever. Yesterday I did two suspicious clinics and got no logs.

I cant seem to find my Heavy weapon platforms in the craft equip screen, which is how you put them on IIRC. I tried with with a completely empty craft and with both a skyranger and a skyraider which lets you use atleast one so thats not the issue. So do i need anything else like reserach or am i doing it wrong?

Well, I don't know what to tell you - they should be spawning. Where you or the enemies using explosives? Was any terrain destroyed/blown up? Because that's the only thing i can think of. The logs spaw just fine for me
