I've had a fun time trying to keep the sinking ship that is the XCOM project alive these last few weeks. Between constant EXALT fund sabotage and alien craft the size of a small moon landing outside our doorstep, we're only a few terror missions away from kicking the bucket.

If I only knew what this flag belongs to. I approve choice of wargear and attire through.

You guys should definitely play the LONG WAR Mod for X-Com. It's like... 10 times better than vanilla. More soldiers on each mission, up to 50 hostiles, more ufos, better promotion scheme and generally more more more of everything... without the stupid "race for satelite" solution, and a much "fairer" challenge.
I'm atm battling 5-7 transport-class ufos per month (each of which can have up to 50 hostiles of all classes) and had to down 14 ufos last month. Air defense is holding up (laser and sparrowhawks) against everything not-large, soldiers are exhausted or wounded. My casualty list is getting longer (I play Ironman/Normal, but keep the right to replay a mission that went wrong due to stupid things). I am waiting for my elite squad to be fit to squash the Excal HQ.
It's a great game. Still have sooo many choices, haven't touched the gene-modifications this time, nor psi. Mecs rock the house atm (but that changes atm with Muton Elites coming in regularly in packs of... 7! Arghl! Or 5 Berserkers)

AFAIK both myself and Rod have been playing with this mod. It's pretty fantastic all around, and has put another 100 hours on the clock so far for me.

How do you shoot down large transport ufos? I can't do it with Wingtip-Sparrowhawk + Laser, even though I have them upgraded quite a bit.
These transports are my primary source of Alloys atm, but they also take their toll on my soldiers.

I'm on Beta 13, yeah. (Couldn't get 14 to work.)
Not nearly far enough into my game to help you out on that one, Jack. I'm getting wrecked in the air because tech is slow going.
