I am both appalled and satisfied by the recent increase in casualties. Also I wonder what attacked PotatoCom?

Let's Play UFO: Enemy Unknown/X-COM: UFO Defense - Update 44

Desmodus Rotundus
Augur
Please let them be etherials, it's been way too easy so far.
On another note, is Desmodus still/again hospitalised or is he at the back of the airbus, haven't seen the name pop up for a couple of missions.

Nice.
And I see BLOBEERT has survived, yay!

Deaths? In my X-COM?
The invasion will probably be something stupid like Snakemen or Sectoids. What is with all the non-stop floater action?

The brain thing on Mars got Vista installed, which led to an error of cloning far, far too many Floaters. Simple, really

Believe me, as am I. If any more pop up, I'll just play the mission without taking any screenshots
This is what I saw during the base defense mission.
You all know what that means. Do you want all the screenshots? Maybe mission highlits only? Or perhaps just the end result?

What does it mean? More floaters is all I can see from that. I'm ok with seeing everything.
Just give us the results. 
I don't
That some sort of gaembreaking bug?

No. It means MOAR Floaters. With which we're all kind of fed up, aren't we?

DEATH TO ALL FLOATERS! 
UPDATE 31
When we left off, Potato Base has been attacked by the aliens!
We set up a minefield in the access lift corridor.
The proximity grenades go off, killing two Floaters.
This hostile nearly wrecked Gondolin's tank!
It becomes Hellraiser V's first kill.
Another Floater triggered more proximity grenades.
Holy shit!
The Floaters die to Roxorowicz's high explosive pack. Then one falls to a trooper's reaction fire, but not before killing another trooper.
They keep coming!
As Sergiu67's fire kills two Floaters, a third one shoots back, wounding him severely!
toastboy stabilises Sergiu67.
And Hellraiser earns a second kill.
Gondolin's camera feed reveals another Floater in the corridor of death.
As he snipes it, JoKa discovers a Reaper.
toastboy wounds it and Hellraiser finishes it off.
Another Floater fell victim to Roxorowicz.
Gondolin discovers multiple hostiles!
He kills one, and PrzeSzkoda dispatches the two others.
Two unarmed Floaters rush the tank. Is it some sort of a trick?
Apparently not, since one is killed by BLOBEERT and the other by Gondolin.
More aliens. The presently unarmed Floater just executed the one that lies dead just outside the access lift...
Korenzel deals with the Floater...
...and BLOBEERT kills the Reaper. Odd, its corpse disappeared.
Then Gondolin discovers ANOTHER alien.
It's an incredibly long shot, but Merk makes it! Only the alien's weapon is left.
One more Floater detected...
JoKa kills it.
A Reaper is discovered. ironyuri puts it down and the corpse disappears.
Oh, another one... This one's for BLOBEERT.
And finally, one for PrzeSzkoda.
It was the last alien invader.
Meanwhile, Drakron catched up with the UFO.
He shot it down over central Africa.
Hartman is sent for a little R&R in TentacleRapeCOM. KwaCOM receives Dextermorgan in his stead.
Team Kwa lands near the crash site.
It was just a Floater mission
We've been betrayed by Egypt. Rumour has it the local population was promised transportation to Orion, to their Pharaohs of old.
But everyone else is very happy with our progress.
Drakron is sent to intercept this UFO.
He brings it down over Siberia.
I've had this bug before. Aliens attack the first X-COM base every fucking three days. Yes it's Floaters again. And it will be Floaters attacking the base for fucking ever. Any ideas how to fix it? Kyrub? Help?
Too pissed off about the bug, no roster update for you now. Besides, it's just ranks from Rookie to Squaddie. We only lost a nameless trooper.

Look here:
http://www.strategycore.co.uk/forums/Co ... t8377.html
And here's the solution itself.
It's a bit ugly, though. You'll delete all other proceeding missions as well. I knew which lines were specifically retaliation oriented, but I forgot. You may find that on Ufopaedia in Game files section, under mission.dat. Then you could delete (overwrite with zeroes) only the few entries for retaliation FOR EVERY ZONE. This would conserve all other alien missions (like infiltration etc.) If you are unfamiliar with hex-editing, no way to do it - just use the way described in quotes.
(A small advertisment: Icing mod I made should get rid of constant base attacks. It also mixes alien missions more so that you don't see Floaters or Snakesmen all the time.)

Thanks, man. I'll see what I can do about the missions.dat file. Should that fail, I'll replace it with a fresh one.
I'll gladly check out your mod during another playthrough. I don't want to change the game's balance in the middle of the LP. Besides, I don't have any base defense to speak of, so the battleship won't be shot down. I may build some, but that would mean dealing with retaliations for 16+ days

FUCKING FLOATERS JUST KEEP COMING AND COMING TIME AND TIME AGAIN
Big deal. Just build shitloads of base defences
As I mentioned above, building even the simplest missile battery will take time, and the aliens will use that time to invade the base over and over, ruining my game experience.
Also, it appears I cannot into hex editing at all. Unless someone (kyrub?) is kind enough to edit the damned file for me, I'll have to replace it with a fresh one.

You know what? I had a change of heart. Calling me LARPfag, eh? You haven't seen nothing yet!
