How are ratings calculated?
Ratings are calculated using Evan Miller's method (based on a Wilson score confidence interval) that is self-correcting. This means that the % of positive ratings & number of ratings decide a mods position on the top charts. The benefit of this approach is a mod with 2 positive ratings will not outrank one with 10 positive ratings but 2 negative. Nor will a mod with tons of rankings outrank everything unless most of the ratings are positive.
Rating levels
Ratings range from overwhelmingly positive to overwhelmingly negative. The color changes depending where on the scale the mod fits.

I enjoy not using the scan recall feature, because it tells the position of the units overlayed on the battlefield. I prefer having to discern it from the motion scanner's screen. In my gameplay as described, I have found that a tu cost of 10% of soldier TUs works well. It's not very expensive to scan once but it gets more costly if you have to re-scan too many times. I can buy myself more scans by dedicating a soldier just to scanning.

In OXCE, you can just recall the last motion scan using the ALT key, see Openxcom.org

Good to know, thanks. Will have to see if it works for me, the CTRL alternate movement doesn't. :-/
