It doesn't.. and that's why it really should. For --Snares-- only.

Re: Is this a Bug or a Bad Joke?

You want a mission that's suppose to simulate a trap to be explicitly labeled as a trap? I don't think that's how a trap is supposed to work. Nope.. i want to have the choice to **Detect** if any of the SNARE missions have just been triggered & ready for the usual Infiltration decisions we alwa...

Re: Is this a Bug or a Bad Joke?

Honestly.. this "SNARE" mission trap should be clearly revealed, exposed & named from the very first popup where we opt to infiltrate or **NOT**. Maybe some people are happy when they get fooled around by such random conditions, but in my case -- i absolutely need to be given a rationa...

Re: What happens to existing run when 1.3 hits?

Think of it as an indirect "Training Roulette" option that gets activated by coincidence! :lol: The newest changes will offer you a wild ride filled with mystery effects but will also likely break a few more Strategy/Tactical layer systems. Even though it's almost always best to start a ne...

Re: 1.3 Changelog got updated.

... I don't think alien defense is being lowered to "make the game easier," it's being changed because getting 50-70% shots on flanked opponents in open terrain was annoying and not fun. Yet.. the same could be said of the Ultra-Viper (Naja?) Aiming skills that persistantly hit 99% of the...

Re: Enemy not found

When you get stuck in such buggy situations during missions.. there's always a few console-commands (( http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=23708 )) to help out. 1) Type --- KILLALLAIS --- (which will consider that last missing enemy as killed too!) 2) Click the big End-...

Re: okay, Soldier Ranking, I ADMIT IT, I'M DUMB & LOST

IIRC.. the Ranking parser takes more than just their respective levels into account -- it also compiles the kills values to determine the "correct" slot for the pseudo-best versus anyone else with whatever lower combat results. This is more obvious within the order given to your three US &...

Re: Camera Stuck Under The Avenger

It's really a mind-boggling flaw. Ever since i've changed my Paging/File sizes.. i haven't seen that stupid BUG often -- as it re-appeared once or twice in various gameplay sessions. Strangely.. they weren't showing up for about a week. I'm really starting to believe this is actually caused by Graph...

Re: Hidden Potential "Formulations"

I would surely have to fine-tune a few key Deltas until a reasonable (that would FIT the pre-determined limits.. in a sense) goal can be reached. The trick is to setup an exact range for everything & then, drop the required (or optimal) MIN-MAX structure in a way (by altered SWAPS if need be) th...

As v1.3 is fast approaching.. the very last adjustments i'd like to be ready for is the NCE&HP calculations. Basicly, i'd much prefer relatively greater range in a few places while removing the extreme Low HP (3!-duh) & Mobility consistantly being stuck at 15 and VERY rarely be given 16 or m...
