Hey Solarius, I really love your other mod FMP and just discovered the X-Com Files today. I'm excited to try it out, but while I'm doing that I was wondering if there was a compare-and-contrast with FMP somewhere? Obviously this mod adds a lot more gameplay elements than FMP, which was more about just piling in cool content and finding a way to balance it all, but I really enjoy the shear amount of content FMP has. Does X-Com Files, in it's current alpha state, have a lot of the same stuff FMP has in it (e.g. weapon/ship/equipment variety, gauss weapons, more sensible tech tree, etc.) How would you compare them in general?
Hello and thanks for the kind words.
X-Com Files contain the entirety of FMP, with some changes. It also contains a whole lot of other stuff and a completely different design of the campaign. So you can say that XCF is FMP 2.0 on drugs.
