A call for help:
The release of 2.3 is a milestone, but it is not the end of the road.
The UFO:AI team has many plans for the game's development. New features
appearing on the horizon for 2.4 include special mission objectives like
rescuing downed pilots and expansions to key maps. UFO:AI needs
contributors of all kinds. In particular, artists are needed to produce
content for the expanded feature set, develop new battlegrounds and
bring older content in line with the rendering engine's enhancements. If
