Then it's a great coincidence, showing this is the only true poster for XCF. 

Thanks, I'll be happy to use it.

Yeah, really nice coincidence.
I'm glad that it will be useful.

I love that rapid updating.

Could be fun to add some sg1 in this and allow you to do some semi random missions on other worlds, both exploratory and beat up everything and take their stuff style missions.

Maybe with time... For now I need to make just one other dimension to visit.

But I think it'd be better to make a completely different mod around that idea. Portals opening in various locations on Earth, incursions of extraplanar beings... This sort of stuff. It would definitely be feasible.

Hah, Solarius you are such a resourceful person! An update after the update, so fast and already ideas for future mods!   

This way you gonna remake Apocalypse faster than openapoc project finishes their version

No, no - that's Robin's project, and he's doing a phenomenal job.

(Really, go play his mod.)

Heh, this reminds me "Primevil" series... or Apocalypse again

I just did and must say it's really very cool, though not so developed and polished as X-Com Files. I enjoyed it and will try to play more, thanks for the advice!

Thank you Solarius, great that you want to stick to the actual X-Files concept and not throw everything into one bucket. This is what discouraged me form playing Piratez and I would hate to see X-Com Files going in that direction

Just to be clear, there is various stuff in the mod, but each arc has a limited scope - at least for now.

As for Piratez, I'm quite baffled, since there's so much still missing from them rather than too much content...

The thing with Piratez is that it is a mind-blasting mod, but it has gone a very long way from UFO itself, it's core concepts, basics. It is not bad all at all, but some people like traditional ideas more.

Just noticed something, not sure if it's a bug - on some Strange Life Form missions, I actually get negative points for artifacts. On another note, a fun X-Com Files banner!

Spoiler:

[Solarius Scorch]

That's a pretty nice banner, cheers!

Hmmmm, what artifacts exactly?
