Hi there.
At first i want to say THX for great game.
But i have 3 sugestions
1)
I have played in strategic games since i remember and i have always the same problem -- empty research list. I wonder why programers do not want to give some freedom to players in making theirs own reserch projects and add them to reserch list. there is example:
i reserched plazma rifle but i don't like it stats ( i want plazma shutgun for example). so i go to "my projects menu" and as base item select plazma rifle and modyfy 1. decrease range, 2 increase damage, 3.change fire modes, 4 select Action Points for use each fire mode and so on. Game calculate research and manufacture time and there is my plasma shutgun. In this way i could have plasma minigun, rocket lancher, sniper rifle, and even a plazma knife. And beside this i could have equipment that coresponds to my play style(close combat -knifes, shutguns, miniguns or long distance/devastation -sniper rifles,rocket lanchers).
Well modifiing armour stats also could be in handy becouse when i like close combat than i fear weapon fire most and when i play long distance i could increase explosion def. more. And as i could observe in late missions aliens use particle weapons more frequent and i can risk to lower laser/plazma resistance and increase particle res.
all above could also apply to craft weapons and armors.
2)
What about proxymity anti personel mines. This could add greatly to tactics. Securying building enters, corridors, making ambush, aquiring live aliens, loosing some soldiers on enemy mines ;)
3)
It happend once that map was small and there was 8 aliens and 8 of my soldiers. when i landed my man was distributed randomly around drop ship and aliens was everywere. in the first combat round i lost from 2 to all my man. after many tries i finaly ended with 1 lost soldier. I think that missions should start with all man in dropship. Proper disembark is also part of tactics.
--BUG--
And by the way walls that cover soldier compartment in dropship (those with red cros symbol) are transparent to enemy fire. No way to hide in dropship. I was hit by alien from top of building so it may be the roof of dropship that is transparent.
that is all for now.
any comment is welcome.
