Just some input off the top of my head:

Modify the X-COM racial traits to have a bonus to research (this was, after all, part and parcel of X-COM operations).

If you're making the Sectoid race, it only makes sense that they be Psychic.

Hello guys!

Thank you for your feed back.

Raynfala: Your suggestion about the research bonus is a good one. About Psychic races, you are right, I think Sectoids and Ethereals HAVE to be psychic to simulate their use of mind control. Those two will be incorporated in my ideas file.

Suicide Junkie: Thank you for giving this link, I think I can read the URL by pointing on it with the mouse cursor and then retype it in the Explorer direction bar. I will try. Anyway, I sent the files by e-mail to Rexx in order to be uploaded by him in case I could not.

Everyone feel free to use them as you see fit. Than you a lot to all!

Well! I think it is correctly done!

I uploaded succesfully (I think) the files I told you in the Data/sound/graphic thread.

Please drop me a line with some comments,if you like.

By the way: I read a post from Raynfala in the wishlist about hexagon based maps replacing the square grid. Now this is an excellent idea, no more faster diagonal riding ships! Stellar systems maps AND planetary surface tactical maps should be hex-based. SE IV rules!

hey leo, my full support to you! X-Com rules, a pity i never got Interceptor. Still, all the rest are fun. And yes, X-Com 2 is better but X-Com 1 has that special feel to it.

I loved the X-Com eries.

I got Interceptor based on the prior games.

It spent THREE HOURS on my hard drive, before I ripped it back off and put the disk away again.

XCOM: Interceptor SUCKS. There's nothing better I can say about it (but plenty worse!). Wonderful concept beyond horribly executed ...

.... Executed, there's a thought ... teh hacks who put Interceptor out shuld all be executed. SLOWLY.

Hello:
Yes you are right, Interceptor wasn´t a good game, first I dont´t like flight sims a lot, so to pilot a UFO spaceship is not my idea of fun. Besides when I start to play a game I like to read most of the documentation and manual first in order to take the most from it. With Interceptor I did just that, installed, read, tried some features... and I did not get traped by it. I don´t know if it was so good or so bad, a game has just to trap me as was the case with SEIV. No so with X-Com Interceptor. But the first and second X-Com games, well, I cannot count how many sleep hours I have lost because of that battles!

And now: Thank you very much to Atraikius for sharing that pictures with us. I hope to see the lobster-men race upagainst all the others in the SE Universe(specially against the valiant soldiers and crewmembers of X-Com!)

Hello:

I will upload a small archive with design names for the future X-Com ships. They are taken from ships and weapons names of X-Com 1, 2, Apocalypse and Interceptor.

Look in the Data thread.
