Hi,
I have noticed a couple of entries from various discussions on training. Perhaps we could incorporate a training facility (which cost X credits/soldier/month) that can actually improve all stats / 1 of the stat of the trainees.
Reason being: I have noticed in recent builts (SVN) that stats now improve realistically but pathetically slowly.... ie. If you are using a sniper weapon on sniper aim, you will most likely improve but ONE point of Sniper skill after the combat. (That is if you score a kill... and not a hit).
Likewise, if u r using multi-skill weapon (eg, Bolter Rifle, which has both sniper (AIM) and assault (SNAP)), realistically you improve your Sniper skill onli when u aim so often.....
This is very slow, considering i have completed 2 3 months of game (game time) and close to 20+ 30 missions, and only 2 of them (out of 8 active ones) have improved 10 or 11 points (overall either on stats or skills)....... sigh.
I know balancing is not the main focus yet, but perhaps we could start thinking about this, as re-coding will be counter-effort.
And how about some training? *wink*
