Maybe it's redundant since I linked to my old post, but yeah: You can enable armor colors, but not armor decals, helmets or Guile Hair. Honestly armor colors are by far the most important of those there; it really does help you identify your guys and, y'know, it's cool.

Mind you still kinda wished they gave you more color control anyway. The fact that you can only chose between bright red and bright red... kinda doesn't help the feeling of the game.
Eh wot? There's like 32 colors or something. It's not a color wheel but it's not bad either.

The Guile Hair was an entirely separate bonus from the deco pack I think.

Yeah but the problem is that most of those colors Sensai are "Toy colors" more fit for Warhammer 40,000 then Xcom.

Well, if you don't want those colours why don't you use the realistic default colors :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1C-_P8v25E#t=35m55s

Anybody ever encountered a UFO like that?

In french he says "We found a new contact emitting strange signal, like if he were looking(searching) for something.

and man... he RAPED my interceptor as you will see ( im playing impossible btw )

Ahhh yeah maybe thats what he is *searching* but man.... i didnt even assault the base and i get that battleship sized UFO attacking satelites?

I never had a UFO shooting down one of my satelitte yet, can anyone confirm its a sat killer UFO? ( still didnt assault the base yet got stuck with some RL stuff to do )

actually that's not really a spoiler, the game actually gives you a warning

Random question......

Why is my Support the only member of the team to be a plasma magnet?
(Actually, is plasma magnetic?)

I think the other classes tend to get cover bonuses later, so the support is probably the easiest to hit.

Not when the damned floater has to shoot through the Heavy to hit the Support, and an assault was closer with the same cover, ie 1/2.

She gets wounded every mission and has missed four missions so far, her will is so low, she panics at the drop of a plasma pistol and starts babbling about immediate evac, whiny little rich girl.

Its a battleship. You'll likely need a firestorm to bring it down, or at LEAST something better than avalanche missiles.

Well, according to the current hypothesis in developing real-life plasma weaponry, you'd need a strong centralized magnetic field to keep the plasma stable en route to the target.  Otherwise it just fizzles out after an incredibly short distance.  So, if the aliens had somehow managed to find a way of creating a little projectile field to contain the plasma, then it would certainly be affected by other electromagnetic fields in the area.


So, to not answer your question at all...  Maybe/no.
