drstrangelug Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 It might not even be possible but how about this for an idea. XCOM : SHADO Mod the game entirely so it reflects the atmosphere of Gerry Anderson's UFO. Could it even be done? I've played the demo and I'm about an hour into the game proper (no spoilers in this thread please!). Some suggestion mod points :Satellites become SID - Space Intruder Dectector (someone do a British 50's BBC voice for that?Re-work the interceptor graphics to show moonbase interceptors.[*}Change uniforms to SHADO uniforms[*}Change base rooms to SHADO 70's vision of the 1980's equivalent (reel to reel computers, etc)[*}Change one of the aliens to red suited, green liquid breathers from the show.[*}I think the battlescapes maps might be too small for the SHADO mobiles, It's probably just dreaming, but I'd love to see this.
KristmasKthulhu Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I actually find the idea of hyper advanced 70's hardware delightful, but my first concern with modding is definitely going to be tweaking some of the more annoying parts of the game before going to purely cosmetic changes.
MissLouise Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I would absolutely ***LOVE*** it if even some of the OP's suggestions were possible! Even some relatively 'minor' tweaks that suggested xcom was a updated/futuristic version of SHADO would be soooo cool :) (there are some cool images of the tech and main characters here, if anyone's interested: http://www.shadolibrary.org/ops/index.shtml )
