Resistance Ring still having 1 cover op after Upgrades

[xtremeLinux]

I do not know if this is the correct functionality but I have just updated the resistance ring with the 2 upgrades and I can only do 1 cover operation at a time. I thought that after doing the upgrades I would be able to do 1, 2 or 3 cover ops at the same time. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Upgrading lets you use more resistance oders, not more covert ops

[Nylan]

There is a mod that lets you do one covert op per faction, aside from that its a strict limit of one covert op at once.

Hi Aranador, do you mean I can see more cover action missions?

I am asking because am seeing the same amount, so the explanation for each upgrade is a bit misleading because I can't see the gain in upgrading the resistance ring then.

There are 4 rows for assigning resistance orders at the start of the month. The one on the left hand side has 1-3 for any factions orders based on whether you have upgraded the ring. The other 3 rows, for one faction's orders only, increase based on doing the first two "hunt the chosen" covert ops.

It's now 2019 and us gamer's are still getting confused! I am sure it said you need another engineer and it gave you more covert op's. Obviously, based on searching the web, a lot of people are confused about the Ring upgrades! I worked it out on my own, but it shows, nothing has been clarified in the game, and gamer's are still getting confused!

"Unlock an additional slot for XCOM to assign Resistance Orders."
Says nothing about an engineer, and Resistance Orders are the cards you can assign every resupply.

I haven't seen any threads about this confusion other than this one, in which 1 person got confused a year and a half ago.

The upgrades could not be clearer. It allows you to slot more orders. Which becomes 100% clear at the end of the month and you have more slots available.

[xtremeLinux]

The confusion is this because the way it is written is not clear in-game:

When one reads "Unlock an additional slot for XCOM to assign Resistance Orders." one would assume it means you can take additional SIMULTANEOUS resistance order missions. Meaning, at the beginning you can only do one mission at a time. If you wanted to do another mission, you would have to wait for the current resistance mission to finish. But if you "unlocked an additional slot" it would allow you to take more resistance missions at the same time.

The error here is that there should be a clear indicator saying that this is to make sure the game offers more missions per month by allowing you to pick from more missions every month and not to start multiple resistance missions (which is what promoted me to get those additional slots). If I knew it was only for the slots and not for simultaneous resistance missions I am pretty sure I would not have gotten it. Anyway that was the whole discussion on how the wording confused the gaming experience.

Is it really a problem of the game when you can't see the difference between "resistance orders" and "covert actions"? This description seems pretty clear to me.

You are still confusing the resistance ring with covert operations. None of the upgrades you purchase through engineering impact covert actions.

The upgrades you buy on the resistance ring allow you to slot more cards and get more help from the resistance factions.

You gain access to a bigger pool of covert operations by increasing your reputation with each faction.

It's only clear to you because you're familiar with it. You order the resistance factions to perform covert ops, they don't just happen, so resistance orders could easily mean more covert ops. Of course it doesn't and most people will get that but it's not inherently clear.

Better naming conventions would have been better, such as calling resistance orders "popular support" or something.

Does anyone know what mod this is? Is it still around?

[Zyrrashijn]

the "Search" function on the workshop is your friend.

So am I.

Thanks, Z; I actually found it shortly after I posted that.
