So this is my sixth attempt at beating this mod in Veteran Ironman and I have to say I have been really enjoying the mod, good job to everyone that has worked on, thanks for making it.
I think I found a bug involving the aliens intercepting X-com craft and destroying them though and i'm not really sure if anyone has mentioned this already since I can't really search for any specific term for the bug.
Anyway, I one of my Tritons leaving base to get to a terror site, a few moments after departing I got the pop-up that the Triton was about to be intercepted, well shit, this is why you always bring an escort after a point. So the Triton got one shot by the interceptor, stung since it had 9 soldiers and most of that bases gear inside it, oh well, I still have my other base and soldiers to compensate until I build up that bases squad and equipment again.
Thing I realized after this happened though, the base they came from still had the living quarters filled up as if those soldiers were still alive and taking up space, but the ship they were in was destroyed. So these dead soldiers are still taking up living space.
I would have to assume this is some behavior that only happens because they died on the Geoscape rather than the Tactical engine or something. I assume this because they did not even get memorial entries, it's like they just vanished out of all history after the transport they were in was shot down. I have not noticed if this also happens if a X-com piloted fighter craft like a Moray is shot down, I have not checked if that one pilot still takes up a living quarters slot or not.
If this has not happened for anyone else, maybe my situation was different, I did notice that the Triton was shot down in basically a single volley rather than a few on the interception screen, which I had not seen before, so that could have something to do with it.
