I have just reached (but not researched fully) Mag weapons, but lasers definitely feel somewhat expensive to me... either that, or supplies are scarce. Only about half the guys in my four active squads are upgraded to the laser standard...
Don't yet know how expensive Mag is, though.

Note that that means Rulers can surprise you in missions.

Question: Does a psi need to have a "mission promotion" before *and* after each Psi training, or can I "accrue" promotions, and then train several levels at once?

Wait. What?
How did everyone just gloss over this?!

On Rookie, maybe. You *really* need the accuracy/damage bump on Veteran+. Especially if a few HP/armor DEs poke their ugly heads in early.

Yeah, I sort of modded down some of the training times...

Oh, so they NEED to gain a level? OK. I can live with that.

There is a mod that displays what Black Market goods are useful. I think it's even called "Black Market Use". It is pulls info from the .inis, so it works with whatever mods you have. Sorry to jump in - is that mod compatible with LW2? I have it disabled as I wasn't sure if it was ready. ...

My Rookie was done with Psi training, so I tried to send him back in... Can't. He's not offered.
Tried to send him on a mission. Didn't get a level. Can't continue training after mission.
Am I missing something? How does psi training work now?

1st Perk in the Burninate tree needs to be "Coming In Hot" - Activate to dash and still be able to use Roust or Flamethrower. 3 turn cooldown."
There. Burning's fixed.

SPARKs are only dominating if they arrive early, as in, the first 2 or 3 months tops. After that, taking them on Moderate+ enemy activity missions is near suicide, as their armor/ablation melts rather quickly without smoke/Aid. They remain "good", but I wouldn't call it "dominating&qu...

Yes. Once completed, spawn a Facility on the map somewhere. To reveal the region of the facility, you need to spend Intel (like revealing a DE in preparation), and then you need to generate Intel in that region to actually reveal it and infiltrate. 50% chance that the region is the same continent as...

Any chance of linking some permanent DEs to a regional-HQ-like facility mission, so that it is counterable, but very hard, and taxing to infiltrate?

Oh... Crap...

The + Hacking stat reward should be made smaller, and apply to all future hacks of *ALL* XCOM squads. Maybe processed by "Enemy Encryption" research, like Datapads are.

Modding Fire In The Hole to -5 (from -2) rolls works. Maybe I could mod the base rolls, so a pyrotechnical isn't as gimped as a rocketechnical... not sure about the implications, because I don't know how useful pyro is post 1.1. Something like 3 base rolls, -20 movement penalty, +2 rolls for range, ...

The first thing is something I've noticed happen sometimes with stuns, hack shutdowns, etc. Rarely, though. Possibly a bug.

Thanks!

This... might explain why they're so inconsistent... Any remedy for that?

Yep, I am *so* modding this nonsense out.
probably will just increase the perk to reduce number of rolls by 5.

I wanted to edit the Hacking stat of all troopers so that Specialist stop being a must-bring on hack missions, but I can't seem to get it to work predictably. Where is the base soldier hacking stat located? I found the one for basic Sparks, and I found the ones for soldier class gains per level, but...

Not exactly how it works, but it works out towards the same conclusion.
The "BAR"s are odds of a recruit that has been generated by the income becoming a soldier or a rebel. On a large enough number of hires, sure, they look the same.

Wait... if I'm reading this right, a moving technical has both penalties of -30 on ALL scatter rolls, and making SIX of them!?
WHAT!?

Any form of activity with 4 or more rebels doing (supply/recruit/Intel), will have a chance of generating a disrupt the activity mission by advent, higher chance per rebel performing the job. So... Hiding maxes out its usefulness at limiting your rebels to only work in batches of 3? If I have 3 reb...

Literally none of the things you've stated are true. They're *stated* as true in the game. But it just is not so. 1. I can't say it *doesn't* reduce mission generation (but it appears to me it does not). It definitly makes you not *see* missions generated, thus giving you the illusion of there being...
