There was a discussion once with Warboy about this, i think he was planning it for his OXC-WAR version.

 

https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,737.0.html

 

Now personally i am against that option for anything other than Mutons ( as clearly they do have a Commander Rank as per the startup video) as i look on this as a CHEAT as i can then clearly see his rank. I would prefer to make it more like the red floaters are the normal crappy ones , the Green ones are the elite trained ones with improved Floatation device , etc and make them a different strength . Then you can have full Ranks in both groups , but if you come across the green ones you better watch out smile.png

 

I will repost this question in my "Colour replace aliens" folder, for all i know , it may already be possably within the rulesets, i spend 99% of my time modding OXC, i only play it once every few months- generally speaking , i don't play games much at all these days)

Actually I didn't think about it like that, very good point. That would eliminate the need for a Mind Probe, which I like using. I much prefer your idea of making the alternative colored aliens more of an indication of their difficulty. Land at a crash site with green floaters or alloy mutons and really toss up wether to abort or attempt to take them on

My intention for these is mobile fortresses, others in the community just want them for 2 stage Alien Bases, other may just want to have some variety in the ufo selection, All will be supported (eventually)

It may be worth mentioning that I created maps to allow two stage base / artefact missions using UFO:EU terrains within TFTD. Made an Egyptian pyramid and everything. Doubt anyone ever found it...

 

The image luke just posted is a modification of the unused UFOs that were hidden away in UFO:EU's resources. I made some image data so that they could be rendered properly-ish, but as I was only after the screenshots, I don't remember going all-out and making the tilesets actually playable. I doubt he'll have much trouble fixing that though. ;)
