Alien propulsion won't work IRL
TrashMan:
Good point.
and why is anti-grav bad? Isn't UFO:AI supposed to be a fan.based spiritual sucessor to X-Com? X.com had anti-grav in several shapes and sizes. It even had a enemy that floated on a mini anit-grav engine.

Did i miss something? Probably missread antimatter with anti-grav?

This is where it began.
IMO the biggest problem with AM engines is the fact that UFOpaedia overstates energy gained from M/AM anhillation. Easiest solution-change the units. Instead of 1 unit AM=0.01 g, let's do 1 unit=1g. Only thing nescessary is to overwrie a few words in UFOpaedia about AM, alien engines and AM storage building.
Kildor:
May be because ufoai is not x-com at all?
X-com also has ellirium, cydonia and flying suits, which we do not have.

Trashman have had another model, but it cant be included to the game without anti-gravitation. Well, I prefer game without anti-gravitation and model. But he always can make a mod or even fork.
Btw, we need some models, why do you not want to make they?

Well, sorry to disappoint you guys, but with this

in "alien detection" you already gave the aliens the ability to play with gravitational field so advanced, that simple agrav looks child's play.
