Combining of 2 special abilities for a unit costs extra 25% in SMACX. There is an incosistency, a bug: the "free cost" abilities (like Deep Radar or Trance and ECM) are sometimes free even in combination, sometimes not. How should it be solved?

As the writhing, teeming mass of mindworms swarmed over the outer perimeter, we saw the defenders recoil in horror. 'Stay calm! Use your flame guns!' shouted the commander, but to no avail.

Even with the best weapons, only the most disciplined troops can resist this horrific attack.
