Scout Troopers too rare, obsolete too quickly...
I'm having a blast with this mod, but I've run into a bit of an issue... should be an easy fix, theoretically, maybe even something that can be handled by tweaking an ini? Anyway, the problem is that Scout Troopers - who drop snake-corpses, ya know - are way, way too rare, and disappear way too quickly. If the game isn't generous with the early-game missions that allow you to recover corpses, you can wind up in the situation I'm in - I literally cannot complete the advanced medikit project. It requires 2 Viper Corpses, I've only got one, and they long-since stopped spawning. I haven't sold or otherwise wasted any, either - only two collectable corpses dropped before they stopped showing up, and one of them was consumed by the autopsy...

I suppose that the root of the issue is that in the base game, Vipers show up in pods. Even though they disappear quickly, just a single mission that both features them and lets you collect corpses is likely to give you everything you need. Scout Snipers, however, always show up alone, supported by a Scout Spotter or Scout Troopers... so they're a LOT harder to come by, but disappear just as quickly.

Yea, having the same problem. Not having advanced medikits makes things insanely hard in the hardest modes, specially considering this mods makes several enemies much stronger than vanilla game. Thing is, viper do show even on late game in the vanilla mode, just with more powerful variants. Don't know why the modder didn't kept that :/

Indeed. Scout Spotters (Sectoids) continue to spawn 'till the end, as pod-support for AT-ST's, and there's no reason Snipers couldn't be mixed in too.

Fun (or frustrating) fact: I found a mod that makes the corpses of aliens appear in the Black Market a while after you first encounter them, specifically to prevent this kind of situation. Makes perfect sense, too, since you can SELL them corpses! Unfortunately, the mod turned out to be completely incompatible with WotC, and nobody's made one that IS compatible. =_= In the end, the only solution I could find was to use a console-command to give myself a single Viper-corpse.
