Yeah, that was a cool thing! I think Meridian overreacted to the polyps. He didn't lose any soldiers, and got some cool loot. I'd have been excited!

Uhm, I didn't get any loot... or am I missing something?

Well, only noticeable loot from polyphs is an availability to research hydrophobic acid.

Didn't you get a black box or something?

edit: You got Old Alien Flight Records. Looks weak, but maybe it's better than it looks.

Haven't kept up with the mod, have the issue of spawning way too many small USOs been adressed since 2.16?

Like 200 hours of gameplay not only for joy but commenting it while being recorded? Eh eh

Looking on Meridian Let`s Play I would say that there is still to many errors to play(as this is work in progress mod) on Iron Man. You could loose your whole playthrough due to mod error so I doubt anyone will do it ;)

What I meant was that he spent like two episodes troubleshooting things. I did not want to offend you and I am pretty sure that all that he found were fixed but I myself would not risk playing Ironman on any mod unless it is fully released and tested :) It is far better to just do Ironman yourself(not using button but playing like that - just have more saves in case something happens). I am doing this during my playthrough of XCom Files just in case something breaks(better safe than sorry) ;)

Well, i dont like ironman myself, but need to inform all who want, that modded game at this stage can be won. No critical bugs are left, maybe a pair of cosmetical ones missed.

True for Ironman in Piratez and XCF modes too. Besides there's different atmosphere with no saves both in the perception of the story and during the battles.

Do craft shields multiply ie is there any point in putting more than one on a craft?

In my opinion mind worms and locusts have unfair advantage for unprepared players. If one plays honestly without a preliminary knowledge of these creatures, he/she surely will lose a team of aquanauts during first terror mission unless there is a robot on the transport ship to evacuate sleeping team.

Yes, shields will stack up.

This is discussed. Can nerf a bit. Not bigbug though.

In my current game I've got 84% of research done and approaching the end of the second year. I was wondering on 2 points. Firstly can 100% of research be achieved and secondly
Spoiler:
what is the best way to deal with freaks/hellcrabs as they seem to shrug off sonic at a whim and I've found that it takes several dpl's to take down either 1 freak or hellcrab.
