I am well into a game on super human (just finished trashing the second alien building), but I have noticed an unusual event that I've seen before. For the last couple of weeks, many of the aliens (arthropods and skeletoids) have not had any equipment. The same was true of many aliens in the building. While this makes it very easy to slaughter them all (especially fun using the Marsec power sword), it makes the game a lot less fun.

Has anyone else witnessed this? What seems to cause this alien equipment shortage? It would make sense if I had destroyed their manufacturing building already, but I haven't.
