Is there a way to change the target for items without moving and/or changing your face? Sometimes when there's an enemy on the ground, using a medkit or drinking a beer targets the body on the ground instead of anything else I want. I can see this telegraphed when I hover over the item but there's no indication on how to change it.

Can't remember it was different than this ever.
If you stand on a corpse/K.O. unit, you'll target the unit on the ground even if you face an ally in an adjusted square.
You simply have to stand on an empty square to treat the correct unit.

Is there a good way to bypass the traps in the bank robbery mission?

Armors with full resistance (0%) to smoke damage.
Gas Masks to get to 50% smoke resistance.
You can also dig through the walls from the sides into the treasure rooms themselves. Depends on how good your equipment is and how many turns you have left.
20 turns can run out quickly so you better bring alot of people and digging tools to target the 2 north-chambers and the single south-chamber ASAP.

Thanks to the new 'enemy moral buff' the guild security doesn't panic anymore to make this mission challenging.

Thanks!

3 Chambers? I only had enemies in 2 then. :D
I mostly used the mining laser, seemed a lot more dependable then pickaxes and hammers. I might need to build a 2nd one for next time.

Laser feels about right and it can melt through 4 tiles at once.
Sadly RNG hates me and I get 2 tiles at best. :(

I just ran into Ghost Gals on a mission, any good tips on handing those? I just made some tech blades to see if that helps if i run into them again. But crossbows and the underwater stun darts were not useful at all :)

Just sneak around them, grab the treasures and leave.

Use laser or plasma weaponry.
Those are kinda immune to piercing damage. Also those have SENSE 40 so don't even try to sneak around them, they'll know you exist anyway.
You can 'stun' them but you'll only get a corpse. Their shots do stun-damage, bring stun-removal with you and armor resistant to heat.

Will the X-Prison mission respawn until I research the looted documents? Because there is a lot of money to gain here and the risk isn't that great.

Even if they know where you are they, if you position yourself right, won’t be able to land enough hits on you.

Zombie everything, actually. Only a few specific missions never have them, for the rest it's a random chance it turns out to be zombies. Pain in the ass, aren't they?

Since zombies never surrender, the tactic of looting an entire mansion by killing lots of enemies and all the high-ranking and non-surrendering enemies won't work.  Better to just loot and run than risk going over the 32 turn limit trying to find that last lousy zombie hiding in a corner or unreachable area.
