MiB Scientist (STR_MIB_SCIENTIST) now getOneFree STR_REAPER_TERRORIST (not STR_REAPER). If player has already get STR_REAPER (but not STR_REAPER_TERRORIST) from alien medic or from homicidal maniac etc... it may turn out that the player will get as a result of the research of MiB Scientist actually nothing.
Similary MiB Scientist now getOneFree STR_ALIEN_DRONE_TERRORIST, Hybrid Specialist getOneFree STR_ALIEN_DRONE.
Maybe similar to the recent fix 'Overhauled corpse/autopsy unlocking system'. Or can simply remove _TERRORIST from MiB Scientist getOneFree.

STR_REAPER_TERRORIST already has lookup: STR_REAPER. I don't know what else I can do - I guess eliminating STR_REAPER from all research lists would be needed, but it's a delicate matter.

But STR_REAPER hasn't lookup: STR_REAPER_TERRORIST. I would do so:
'  - name: STR_MIB_SCIENTIST
(...)
    getOneFree:
      - STR_SECTOID
      - STR_FLOATER
      - STR_HYBRID
      - STR_CROC
      - STR_REPTOID
      - STR_DEEP_ONE
      - STR_DEEP_ONE_CORPSE
      - STR_SECTOID_CORPSE
      - STR_FLOATER_CORPSE
      - STR_HYBRID_CORPSE
      - STR_ZOMBIE_STERILE_CORPSE
      - STR_ZOMBIE_GRUBAS_CORPSE
      - STR_REAPER_TERRORIST
      - STR_SILACOID
      - STR_SUPERLASKA_SOLDIER
      - STR_SUPERLASKA_CORPSE
      - STR_ALIEN_DRONE_TERRORIST
      - STR_ALIEN_DRONE_CORPSE
      - STR_ALIEN_FOOD
(...)'

Yeah, I understand, I'm just saying that I need to seriously think if this would be an okay solution in a broader context.

"High Bravery (100 or more) partially mitigates Sanity loss with gradually increasing efficiency (script by 8mono)." This script don't working for bravery 160 (and more. Now 'if eq unitBravery 150', not 'ge'). I can attach a save with such a fighter if needed (bravery 100+Keystone 7+Aquanaut 2+Cavaliar 10). Sorry for poor English.

I have examined the script, but I can't see any difference between SAN >150 and SAN >140. Literally the only difference is between "if gt 75 applyChance;" and "if gt 50 applyChance;".

So I don't quite understand, but apparently you do. Can you please explain more clearly what needs to be changed and how?

Now:
if ge unitBravery 100; #>=100 line 2328
(begin)
   if eq unitBravery 100; #=100
(...)
   if eq unitBravery 110; #=110
(...)
   if eq unitBravery 120; #=120
(...)
   if eq unitBravery 130; #=130
(...)
   if eq unitBravery 140; #=140
(...)
   if eq unitBravery 150; #=150. Not >= (ge). line 2456, I changed here
(...)
#if unitBravery >150, script don't work, as if unitBravery <100. I change last eq to ge, it's worked ok for me as far as i checked.

You mean line 2328?

OK, I'll check with the script author. It's not like I understand any of it.

I'm playing now, and I noticed an interesting feature. At this stage, I have the headquarters of all four of the first cults open, and I have not been able to defeat them for several months. And attention! For the third month in a row, all 4 headquarters appear on the first day of each new month. It's very strange.

Nothing strange about that. The HQs spawn within the first 38 1/3 hours of each month, in a somewhat staggered manner. Getting all of them within 24 hours is quite likely.

A very strange decision. Why was it invented, can I find out?

The ufopedia article of Interceptor says it equips LTMS. Actually it uses heavy missiles, so this should be HVMS. The cannon part is correct.

Is there a way (except looking at the save where you can find this information easily) to check which agents have undergone combat pilot training? It doesn't show up in '+' like other commendations and enhancements. I suppose this might be related to the fact that it does a "Flat Stats Change", not a bonus. I suppose this is intentional.

To avoid 2 HQs of the same type at the same time.

Oops. Sorry...

Basically yes, it doesn't give any actual bonus to show.

I think the question wasn't really why they are staggered, but rather why the total time frame is so short. For the record, I find it logical enough, but clearly Akamashi does (or at least did) not.
