There could be a randomizer about which aliens and the quantity of each of them to appear. I read Bman is working on a similar idea with this mod. - homing grenades with proximity detonation as you - or the alien - tries to run away - Additional Maps with multiple storeys. _________________ Eddy.

And no, having just checked grenades do not have a strength requirement. Quote: - I would like to have a colored vision of the base detection range (radius), when you click on it at the geoscape. May or may not be possible. If anyone is interested in doing it, I can point you to a starting place: The "objectsOnGlobe" global variable is where things on the planet (graphically) are stored. There are a few examples of where an object is "placed" on the globe - line 2400 or so in \globe\globe.xscr for example. The problem is, I don't know how you'd actually draw the circle. There are a couple of game-engine functions for drawing lines, but drawing cirlces I can't find. I suppose you could draw an octogon (8 straight lines) if it came to that.

I fondly recall having my first mission on some holiday resort area in TFTD. Seeing civilians in swim wear running away from aliens sure is fun!

Seeing civilians in swim wear running away from aliens sure is fun! i'm pretty sure the holiday resort mission you had in TFTD was a terror mission, not a crashed USO. i never once saw civilians during a USO crash site mission, and it wouldn't make sense to have civilians in USO missions anyway, because all USO missions are underwater. all terror missions in UFO: ET have civilians. i don't see any cities in UFO: ET either, so i'm not sure it would make sense to implement civilians hanging around UFO crash sites.

Ufo: Enemy unknown well, TFTD used the same engine from UFO defense, just had different graphics, extra missions, and better AI -- so the game mechanics are exactly the same for the two games. i can't ever recall seeing civilians in a UFO crash site, only on terror missions. UFO: ET has that same feature.

Cities would be nice in this game, but since its on an alien planet, noone would really care about what city was being terrorized. In UFO defence, it became a money question. Do I send my guys to a terror mission, filled with everyones favorite unit, the crysllacid, in a rinky dink country that isnt paying me very much (and risk losing valuable soldiers and equipment) and gain no ufo materials or do I go to the supply ship (full of elerium) that has landed in the US which is my primary funding country? Thats a no brainer _________________ Black Knight: C'mere! Arthur: What are you gonna do? Bleed on me?

If you go to the Trooper Screen or the Production Screen or the Research Screen from the Base Screen, then pressing the 'Escape' key on those screens should take you back to the Base Screen. That's the way it works in lots of the other X-Com clones I have tried lately, and I have gotten used to it. But, I go to press the 'Esc' key here in UFO ET, and nothing happens. The 'Esc' key could work like the Back Arrow in Internet Explorer does and take you back to whatever screen called the screen that you are currently on. Or, it can act like a tree. In other words, if you go straight to the Research screen with a hot button key, then pressing 'Esc' will always take you to the Base Screen, and pressing 'Esc' there on the Base Screen will always take you to the Geoscape.

In the goold ol` days you had Rescued civilian + 50 Dead civilian -50 Civilian killed by X-com -200 Something like that, don´t remember it exactly... Then again, it would be nice to see the final score expressed by a figure and not only by "good, ok, excellent" etc., same for the monthly report.

While playing I started to miss two features from the old UFO: Enemy Unknown... so, here my two wishes: 1- Smoke grenades; they were very usefull during the fight against the aliens! ^^ 2- The UFOs, when they were shot down, were nearly destroyed and very damaged in the tactical map in the old UFO: Enemy Unknown; sometimes there were also dead aliens inside because of the crash. The UFO's crashes were more dangerous than an intact UFO, because aliens could be everywhere behind the thick smoke or trying to exit from a hole to hit the marines from the flanks.

I agree with all the items above and would like to add: - Underwater missions. This will add more depth in the game. - Proximity nades or equivalent and even more advance version - Research time/length vs scientis indicator - Scientist and engineering costs during research and production (this would help controlling the cost of operations. Cost saving vs research and production) -=Dum spiro, spero=- /h0mbre

Some aliens need more shoots than one, and if i shoot close to him, and he is not died, then i do not know, that i hit him or not. I mean a dying sound or an aliens cry of pain, maybe a little blood effect or something. - I miss the night too. - I do not like, that if i shoot only one bullet from a clip and that clip going to trash after the battle. - Why can i open doors only when i go into the room? - Ufos why not damaging, when i shoot them? (in tactical missions) Please solve these problems in the next patch, if you think the same. Thank you! The game is nice btw.
