After reading the patch notes, sector inventory is supposed to show up for "any container that is seen"?  If you watch the video on the patch he says that you have to open the container for it to show up in the sector inventory.  So which is correct:

1.  All I need to do is "see" the container, for the contents to be listed in the sector inventory.
2.  I have to open the container for the contents to be listed on the sector inventory.

O.K... Quite awhile ago I had posted that I played the game about 90% of the way through and had to put the game down, because it was way too easy and I knew if I finished it, I would put it on the shelf and forget about it.

Then the patch came out, but it did not really do anything to increase the difficulty of the game, or at least an option to do so. Then I saw someone made “Ultimate Aim-Professionals”, so I thought: "let's give it a try". I installed over the the Blue Dawn, to make sure I got the “Hard” perception mode, and the game worked just fine...

I finished the airport and went to Drassen,(church) but I noticed it had 45 enemies! Of course I was ecstatic! So I finished off the map and ordered some ammo and 2 more mercs. Since I thought the game was going to be a lot harder, I sped up time until I got the mercs and the shipment.(I did not leave Drassen) I knew a patrol would hit me soon so I went into the map and prepped for the massive assault which was sure to come!

When the assault came it was... wait for it... 6 enemy equipped with pistols. I had heard before that if you sit in Drassen and wait for 20-30 days the patrols get a lot better equipped and larger. So I just sat in Drassen and let time fly by. Another patrol came, same 6 enemy, same pistols. A few more days went by and I got an email stating that I was horrible and should take some kind of action. The next TWO patrols only had 4 enemy in it and I finally put it back on the shelf...

What am I doing wrong? All I am asking for is that the game be a little challenging. The Ultimate Aim-Pro mod, along with the mods in it that belong to Blue Dawn, are fine for static engagements, but that is all. I will still be under no pressure and no challenge, if the patrols sent out are so small and ill equipped.

This is a problem in quite a few modern games, they are well done, however they are about as difficult as the resistance a mobile home gives a tornado... Does anyone know how to increase the patrols or the difficulty of them?

Having bought the game on release, I had to quit playing because it was too easy. The Blue Dawn mod seems to be the only way to make the game harder, however there have been constant "hints" for the patch that will add FOW and other options to make the game harder. While I know you cannot/will not say when the next patch will be released, can you just give a rough estimate? I REALLY want to play the game, but would hate to jump in a modded version, put 40 hours in the game, only to see the next patch released in a week, and I would have to start all over a third time... Like I said I am only asking for a rough estimate, so I can figure out what to do with the game. If you feel you cannot release this info, can you PM me? In case you have a rough idea, here are the options that will help me make a choice, I will also "word" it so you can take no responsibility for your answer whatsoever, here it is:

If you had to pull a rabbit out of your hat, how long "do you think" it "might" take?

1. A week.
2 2 weeks.
3. A month.
4. 2 months.
5. 4 months.
6. I honestly don't have a clue...

Thanks in advance...

Sorry, this was posted in wrong forum, no sleep, sorry...
