Base Defense Rework Mod

This mod allows to manually select and equip eight soldiers for XCOM Base Defense Mission. Currently works with Long War only.

For clarification: Does this mean that a UI will appear just before the mission(a-la skyranger screen) that will allow me to select my soldiers for the defense?

Yes.

Amazing! I assume that the fact it is released as a stand-alone mod means that it will not be integrated to the LW package?

Another Question. If you restart the Base Defense, does the UI appear again so that you may change your squad?

Stand-alone mod doesn't imply anything. LW core might include a variation of this mod, however, details are still being evaluated.

Restarting base defense from within the mission itself might randomize the soldier release, but it won't bring you back to Squad UI selection.

Hmmm. This means that, if for any reason, you are forced to restart, you lose your selection?
This does not sound very nice, if it could be avoided.
Thank you for the answers! The mod is something very much needed for base defense. I am looking forward to any improvements, as well.
Good job!

Thunder_GR, you don't loose your selection, you will still have the same 8 soldiers, but the order of reinforcements will be different, as it is random. What Ellatan meant, is that you won't be able to select different group of soldiers with restart.
