You can assign an excort to the chosen transporter like targeting an Uso.

@Nord  + Meridian:
Strange, since the last update, the tech tree doesn`t work well anymore.

I tried starting triton and barracuda and select triton as the new target - did not work.
You can assign an excort to the chosen transporter like targeting an Uso.

I tried again, really, does not work. When I click the transport as target, I only get "target: way point". Is there a trick to get the transport as target?

Under Options > Advanced, there is a "Friendly Craft Escort" option... make sure it is set to "YES".

@Meridian, could you please look into my savegame for the tech tree "bug"?
I use the latest version of the mod.

this is what I see when I load your save

Try typing "SHAZAM" instead of "gauss"... that will show everything... maybe that tells us more...

I've been playing a bit and effectively, and as far as I saw:

- By the end of the third month one country leaves and an alien base spawns on a know position on the map (at least that what happened in my last two games, I assume is intended like this).
- By the fourth month you reach negative points and have to finish my fifth but it seems it would likely be the same.

The reason seems (thankfully for the radar coverage) is that the mission "rulette" has heavy weights in supply and influence aliens mission. There was a point on by my radar coverage where USOs congregated like bees. One interceptor and several medium, huge and very huge ships congregating on the same spot (which I believe is the second base yet-to-be-found). Of course even if doing the rest of the accessible missions your rating suffers drastically from this behavior.

The problem here seems not on the difficulty but rather on the unbalance of mission weights, providing much more uso missions that you can't tackle yet instead of providing other missions more accessibles.

So that would explain why @LouisedeFuines was having troubles with interceptors and big USOs. @Nord if you can check this behavior as it will probably be the issue they are complaining. How often are these missions USO missions from the alien base generated?

I hope this helps to solve the problem they are experiencing.

06.05.18 is not today, that's two months ago.
I use version 2.14

1/ does the tech tree show something when you access it by middle-click from research GUI?

2/ does the quick search work on other screens? e.g. on Buy screen?

3/ can you upload your options.cfg file?

4/ do you have spoiler protection turned ON or OFF?

One question about the Calcinite:
Can it be stunned? Whenever I use the thermal tazer, it drops to the acid spitting mass, that I have to beat. Can the mass be stunned too?

Can there be something done about the flightpath of returning ships? (like waypoints)
See my pic: https://drive.google.com/file/d/114b7qxVS0IWXhLcjnfQS_tHhuuO47OMj/view?usp=sharing

My Triton is in Europe, whenever I land at a crash site, my Triton flys straight over the alien base and gets shot down.

Exactly that`s the problem.
