Feature Requests / Set up soldier equipment templates please.

« on: July 13, 2012, 08:52:14 pm »

The biggest nuisance task for me of this otherwise excellent little game is no doubt setting up soldier's equipment after swapping them out between missions. It would be very nice if there were a simple "save this loadout as template 1/2/3" button in the "equip soldiers" screen where you could press it and it saves what items you put where. Then you could just press template 1, 2 or 3 later on and it would load those items in the same place from memory. Worst case scenario, 8 soldiers with say 15 items each, is adding 120 items per mission. That's just too much! Please help.

Discussion / Can you still get soldier's POV?

« on: July 07, 2012, 11:43:22 pm »

Used to be possible to hit a key and the game would zoom to a view of "This is what the soldier sees," which I found invaluable for setting up sniper locations.

Is there still some way to do that?

If not/even if so, is there some other way to quickly bring up an arc of what they can see, in particular taking obstacles into account?

Thanks.

Discussion / UFO: Female Invasion?

« on: December 23, 2009, 08:05:53 am »

Alright, I just played one campaign, and throughout it seems there are more female soldiers than male. Feminism, political correctness and all granted, sure, but are they on steroids in the future? Not only do they seem more numerous, but are likely to be as strong or stronger than men, despite (for instance) the US Center for Military Readiness stating that female soldiers are, on average, shorter and smaller than men, with 45-50% less upper body strength and 25-30% less aerobic capacity, which is essential for endurance, etc. Sure, there are exceptions... but what's up in UFO:AI?
