Hello. I am again out of internet (satellite works not good at all).
Thank you all for feedback.

To Suppanut: Handheld m.c. shield can be acquired from Jellymen, if you conduct peace treaty, you missed it.

To Apocca: Transmission resolver detection properties are unchanged from vanilla.

Good luck.

I do notice that terror events have become very rare, which are usually the source for new technology.
I've had 2 in 1 year.
In the first one I was able to capture a Deep One. In the second I was able to capture a Bio Drone (though I did not get any corpses).

The chance you get the right species with a battleship to get these is also very rare of course.

I've also encountered only 1 Jellyman ship so far. Maybe they'll start to appear more later.

But failure to capture a live specimen during terror missions seems to lead to a dead end.

May I ask for string name of items I likely miss as my tech tree progress is now 98%.

At least now I'm sure that handheld mc shield is one of the thing I miss. but I'm not sure what else could I miss.

I figured out how to get the Bio-drone corpse by watching Meridian's let's play videos.
I waited for a base attack from Lobsterman and got 1 Bio-drone. You have to incapacitate it and then proceed to kill it. This is the only way it doesn't explode.

I do notice a strange bug with the MC Battlearmor
At the beginning of the turn I see: MC shield: 120
But after each turn it keeps going down. In the Ufopedia it says it regenerates 4 per turn. It kinda looks like it's doing the reverse.

So I tried to give superhuman a try and it seems like the mod is not really intended for it?

Alien subs shoot 3 frames faster for each difficulty level above veteran, so 6 frames faster on SH. The baseline reload time for fighter craft is already only 12 frames, so on SH they fire twice as fast as on veteran. This makes Barracudas and Morays completely helpless against them, and the game becomes unplayable.

Maybe either increase damage with reduced fire rate or give all XCOM subs some small amount of armor to make difficulty scaling more smooth?

Why do people always try superhuman first?

This is indeed baffling.
Maybe modern games are just too easy...

Wait, you mean, there *are* other difficulties?

Mod content is complete. Updates are possible if someone find a serious bug.

Hi,

I am running twots 2.47 and OXCE 5.6.3.
A Dreadnought full of Advanced Aquatoids came to attack one of my bases, but as they arrived the game crashed and gave the following error message:
'could not place items on given tiles in storage facility STR_SUB_PEN'
Let me know if you want the log file or a saved game.

Thanks

Peter
