Made base to Middle-East (between Wraithbane and The Library) and in first month didnt saw single landed UFO. So i also missed Fugitive search orders.. and missed whole Doc X chain by it? Is docX needed for gameplay advancement or can i just skip it? On the other hand its now jul 2602 and there has been 0 base assaults so far so..

You can also get the research by interrogating nurses.

@Teddybbeer
If you did not get the fugitive search orders, the nurse airbuses keep spawning until you research it. You are guaranteed to get it sooner or later. As long as you have radar, that is...

airbuses seems to load only hideout research orders.

To clarify: As long as you don't research the thingy that comes with the mission, they keep on spawning. No matter if its the fugitive search order or the hideout search order. You can't lock yourself out of the Mr. X story arc.

No, you really don't need her. It would be usefull, but it is avoidable. What her prison offers can be also achieved from Mutant Alliance.
To be fair, I think you don't even need to choose Codex to win the game.

That's right, you don't need a Codex to win the game, and you don't need any of the "romance routes".

Is there another way to follow this mod? Twitter, Facebook? I just want to know when it will be possible to download it again.

The best place would probably be Piratez Discord.

Are piratez in training facilities available for base defense?  Was going to just put all my staff for a small base in a dojo, wondering if I'll have any hands to actually defend.

Yes, they do.

I'm however not sure if Gals that are under "transformation" (like this "training" that require Rope and Moonshine) fight in base defence. Probably not.

They actually get "wounded" for the duration of transformation, when you check what happens to them, so I don't think so.  So you can actually reduce transformation time with a sickbay xD

Under options -> advanced and all the way at bottom you can set at what wound % they take part in base defense.

I tend to always put my second base around an area with frequent landings and then use it as a peasant/slave soldier training base, keeping one convoy and one faster transport around. With some decent management, you can get an entire convoy of 20 something soldiers to most missions and even to landing sites. With the convoy's hatches, peeking out and taking shots at anything is very easy.

so i did my first base assault ever (not counting the exalt HQ in XCOM2012)
see pic, is this why i didn't get any of those hypno panels? or are they not a guaranteed drop?
