			: Edit away. I think the only reason to look for reasonably good stats, or more specifically good primary stats, is to save time with the stat grinding. Apart from TUs for the energy recharge, it shouldn't matter too much for some of the secondary stats thanks to the range adjustments.

	It says that in the endgame where money is not an issue and you just want supersoldiers, then it's mostly important to pick recruits who are not anomalously low in any stat. I don't think this is very accurate; your first two priorities would be the two stats that '''can't''' be improved - Psi-Strength and the lesser-known Energy Recharge (which is based on a rookie's initial TU). So you'd select for soldiers without anomalously low stats only after selecting for high Psi-Strength and high TU (because Psi-Strength can't be improved at all, and while TU can be improved the derived Energy Recharge '''cannot''').

			:Great, thanks Volutar... I knew I'd seen 11 be the value tons of times. Testing is good and de-coding is great, but what's really best, is both. :)

			: Are you just using [http://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/support/download.shtml IDA 5.0 Freeware] or does it need any other plugin or whatever? FWIW we really should have some entries on the [[Game_editors]] page concerning decoders to get, and maybe a little primer on using them (on its own separate page).
