I was under the impression the head eater thing permanently turned the trooper bad. Are you suggesting you can get the thing off and 'rescue' the trooper? Is it posible to do this by having another trooper throw a grenade at the turned troop?

Unlike other XComs?! In all versions of the game you want the marines to survive! And they all get better in the same way. The experience system is rather good, i think.

A different question now.

In the few battlescape missions i have done since replaying XCom i have scored "OK". Is it posible to score "Excellent" or "Great"? I suppose it is due to the limited number of aliens on the ships you get at the beginning?
