Calculating Rookie Psi Power Values

I have been trying to make a simple spreadsheet to calculate rookie psi values by entering the rest of the rookie's stats. In testing it on a pool of rookies, I've been able to get generally accurate numbers, but then it will throw the psi power off by two or three points. I know I'm missing somethi...

Finding Rebels in Retaliation Missions

It seems like the circle around hiding rebels in Retaliation Missions glitches out a lot. I have been unable to find a mod to help find rebels, but find it hard to believe no one has made one.

Movie marksmanship not withstanding, actually hitting a small target like the head while a man thrashes and avoiding hitting someone grappling would be a horrifyingly difficult shot. My greatest fear in my job is having to make the choice to shoot at an inmate assaulting an officer. Even with profes...
