Implants & psi research

[uly]

Am I the only one who's unable to research the psi equipments and cyborg implants? In my research screen I can see the psi lab being listed, but the required psi equipment item is not present, even though I had picked up numerous psi equipments/devices. I checked the game files to find that cyborg implants require that I already have a cyborg implants, but it is similarly unavailable despite the fact that I've picked up several advanced bodies already. Bug? Or am I doing something wrong? What do I need to do to open up the implant & psi research?

I would have to go with bug on this one since I have experienced it first hand. One of the problems is the list given when you get "Mission Successful... You Win" is sometimes listing items worn by escorted inhabitants and captured combatants. For some reason you are never given those items. Seems like items dropped by the dead are also randomly disappearing at times.

 

I have also noticed you can knockout anyone you are escorting and when they drop their weapons put them into your inventory. They won't show up at Mission Successful but they will appear in your squads inventory later. At least most of the time.

 

It can be frustrating when you got your eye on a nice M82A1 or some of the sonic weapons the 'Borgs will carry. I got over it pretty quick. Plus I save at mission start. And missions end if I found a really nice weapon or the package is carrying a nice item. That way if I knock him/her out and the weapon doesn't appear I can reload and try again.

 

Anyway I am about 150 missions in and I am just now getting those basic implants manufactured. Arm, leg, body, but no eye yet. As far as Psi I am not sure what the hold up is. My guess there are triggers or other requirements I don't yet have. Hell, I was nearing 100 missions in before I started even reading the Glossary, which has quite a lot of info as far as the requirements. Though some don't make sense in my opinion.

 

Still a classic tactical game which will only become better when the bugs are eradicated and the bumps are smoothed out.
