Base defence without a dropship or hanger?

<< < (3/4) > >>

mad-biker:
well the rules of combat, it should be easier to defend than attack...

TroubleMaker:
Another thing I think as "musthave" is the clear equipment marking. For example, I've dropped combat knife in order to pick hand-grenade. Then I moved few steps away and then spent some time looking for my knife: it was not visible at all! Just by accasion I managed to return exactly to same position where I was dropping the knife. Well, I found my weapon, but...

I _think_ that the marks like were in UFO:AI (kinda flashing crosshair above object) will be very useful in order to locate objects on the ground. I was, for example, very confused when could not pick up a rifle from the weapon container in warehouse. Just because the rifle was just a part of box's texture. The proposed marks will assist avoid such confusion.

Mattn:
those marks will come later - they are needed when we have doors and lift and such stuff, too

This is quite easy to do yourself by editing several files in base/ufos/ , and thus perhaps would be a good short-term solution for UFO:AI 2.2.x.

What happens right now if your base gets raided? Only soldiers assigned to a aircraft can participate in the defense?

BTAxis:
Bases don't get raided right now.
