Recon SHIVs

Re-configures the SHIV progression. Alloy SHIVs, once straight SHIV upgrades, are now Recon SHIVs - stealth capable, high-mobility glass cannons.

Strangely enough, the need for Seeker corpses is preventing me from even using this mod. Maybe it's just how I play, but the first time I went through EW I had a grand total of 3 Seeker corpses (one used for research) before Seekers just flat stopped showing up on missions.

I do love the idea though - having a recon 'drone' of sorts would be extremely handy, and save me from having to use squaddies as cannon fodder :-)

Sounds like the short end of a stick there... I judged these to be more powerful than a Ghost Grenade which uses 4 Seeker corpses, so that's where 5 came from. Only seeing 2 pods in one play through is a pretty hard-luck outlier.

how to fix this install error?

In response to post #10427171.

Sometimes ModPatcher needs a hint. Open Install Recon SHIV.bat with a text editor and add

-x "WhateverThePathIsOnYourComputerXCOM - Enemy Within"

onto the last line.
