What sense does it make to do Sirius Temple mission, when all you get is losing points for killing people?

Looted gear, and any captures you get early game are often worth it. You might not get the points in the score screen of the mission but what really matters is the sum total at the end of the month.

Also something to point out is that unlike vanilla, your actually quite a bit stronger the your initial foes. The gals have 20 armor even naked and a decent chunk of health, in addition to generally better stats then most human foes. You can often afford to just charge early foes and club them into submission.

Particularly most pistols you face only do 2-6 damage after gal armor on an average roll. Early shotguns are 50/50 to do any damage at all. Even some rifles and smgs dont really do much.

Factor in the initial foes poor Firing skill and your not really in any danger of losing gals to a few hits. You can afford to be aggressive.

You don't have to kill them, you know?

Yeah, I can stun them.

Another thing: How high has the damage of a weapon need to be to break down walls?

Of fences, buildings and so on.

And a second question: Are there possibilites to avoid stun damage in hot and cold missions?

Since every type has its own durability, how are we supposed to respond to this in a meaningful way???

And a second question: Are there possibilites to avoid stun damage in hot and cold missions?

There are various researchable items to alleviate such problems, like winter hats, fans etc.
And of course, dressing appropriately is the most important thing.

@Solarius: Can I see, before my team lands at a battlefield, which environment will await me?

You can see the weather of missions by clicking on the huh? icon if you click on a mission like a ratman rodeo or church of sirius.It will show you the briefing screen which also shows the weather before you even launch your craft,it goes from scorching hot to freezing cold,any other type of temperature doesnt do anything from what i can tell.


Also as with vannila depending on the colour of the pixel in the geoscape you land it will depend on what kind of enviroment you are going to end up at,yellow is sands and sometimes pink sand which causes a lot of stun if you end your turn on it,green vary from grass lands,hills and sometimes deep jungles that might have exploding stun mines in them.White is snow,either a flat landscape or sometimes with rivers from what i saw.As multiple variants exist on the same climate you are going blind to what might be a very dangerous terrain and the only you can do is be ready before you set off to be ready to deal with what you got on your plate.

Some suits like the tribal and furs will automaticaly change depending on the weather on themselves which lessesn micromanagent somewhat

When does the game role out the events to take place in the next month?

I save alway at the end of a month, but in the next month the events are everytime the same as in the last savegame.

And another thing:
I`m in year 3 of the game. Until now I still don`t have any aircraft with weapons, only my airbus. When do I get intercepting craft?

I´ve got 3 brainers. Had 5, but that brought me almost bankrupt ;)

Can enemies run out of ammo?

Yes they can. And you need more brainers and a way to finance them.

There are a few ways. The most obvious way is to research project "Contacts: Car Thieves".
