Can’t speak to that, but there are a number of bugs and optimizations in WotC that will not, and cannot be applied by the team at Firaxis to the base game. It’s a hard fork, so WotC should be the more stable of the two going forward.

No, I would not. I’m not a big fan of the weapons in Alien Hunters. I feel they’re a bit overpowered. And the additional boss monsters would clog things up a bit. I don’t think Shen’s Gift would be as much of an issue. But still… I’d just go with WotC alone.

Ack. Thanks!

Not at this time, but it’s something we’re working on at a high level here at Vox.

This is about as close as you’re likely to get.

I would love to see a what happens when a group is given a bunch of smaller, two-man ships rather than a single, multi-crew, cruiser-style ship. Good luck!

That’s not a bad idea, actually.

I’m gonna go with best on that one. Gah, but I hate those outfits.

I would absolutely turn off Alien Hunters before playing this. It has its own momentum, and yeah. It’d be weird to have multiple boss monsters rolling around.
