Like the mod, have a few problems with progression. Too much is locked behind capturing high rank aliens to unlock higher tech. These can be impossible to find depending on what RNG spawns for you. I did one battleship assault around May/April vs. floaters where I captured 2 leaders and 1 commander but it's now July and I've had nothing but Anthropod and MiB missions, neither of which generate high rank aliens. The only exception was two chtonite and a single waspite mission where I didn't get anything. I'm sitting around with nothing to do with my researchers while 350 engineers churn out endless money from motion scanners.
Suggestions:
- Give all aliens high ranks to capture.
- Trim down the number of MiB missions.
- Move the mind probe much earlier in the tech tree so it can be used to see alien ranks. As it is it's kind of at the end of the tech tree so it's mostly useless by the time you could get it.
- Make the alien race appearances more varied if you can. If its possible to exclude an alien race that has appeared from appearing again for a certain amount of time that'd work well. As it is I've not seen snakemen, ethereals, mutons, cerebreal, chasers, gazers, or reptoids. Maybe I'm just incredibly unlucky but not getting to see all the aliens kind of sucks.
