All the techs that are currently up and running, I guess. There's a whole lot of stuff that hasn't been written yet, and that's not on the list.

Not by a long way, but they're the biggest priorities in the tech tree at the moment. I haven't had much chance to write on UFO:AI for a long time, since I have so many other obligations on the go, but when the need arises I'll do my utmost to make time for more articles.

Winter

I like it.

But the ship in the first panel I think should be grainier and blurrier, the details are too sharp. You might even want to tint it blue.

Also, it bothers me that the scoutship is pointed almost directly at us. I think it ruins the illusion that we are following/analyzing the scoutship, so you may need a different stock photo to work with, and I'm sure somebody can give you one if you ask around.

It's a nice image, BUT it has nothing to do with the research article. Orbital UFO Activity is about the Carrier UFO and trying to make an orbital gun capable of shooting one down. We can't use an image that isn't based on the topic of research.

i need clarification on some of the remaining techs:

   
    * Orbital UFO Activity
its a pure research item, so WHO is construcing it?
assembling a big cannon platform in alien controlled space seems a difficult task to me, especially with that carrier around.
so why not launch a wave of ICBMs, dumb-fired to evade alien ECM, nuking the area all around the big slow moving carrier ship?
whatever, still have a GO for the orbital cannon image?

    * Alien Infiltration
i found nothing on that, is it just like some alien soldiers attacking somewhere, is it aliens secretly infiltrating governments or society in general?? plz help

    * Odd Behaviour
live aliens already in containment acting odd?

    * Alien Body Armour & Alien Medium Armour
are these armor models final?

Please read the article! The gun is not located in orbit, it's a NASA/ESA space launch gun ON EARTH adapted to fire super-fast shells that will impact before the aliens have a chance to respond.

Alien Infiltration is about setting up a network of psionic humans to monitor XVI progress around the globe. Not in the game yet, but having an image for it would be good.

Suggestion: A living Taman sitting down in a relaxed pose, looking up with a disturbingly intelligent look in its eye.

No.

A slight clarification here: at present, XVI Census enables the graphical XVI overlay. As a matter of fact, it is not XVI Census but Alien Infiltration that's supposed to do this. XVI Census is supposed to give a rough, generalized impression of XVI in the various nations (which isn't very useful in locating alien bases).

Like the concept, but the nose is slightly too prominent.
