Spitter, Jackal and STRM-1 missing from the game.

apk 2.9 b839
Hello, I've engaged in all types of battle except the beacon and still haven't 
encountered Spitter, Jackal or the STRM-1 yet. As such I can't complete 
research. I don't know if this is a bug, or if I'm missing some aspect of the 
game.

Possible solutions :
1) update the wiki to explain where each type of alien is encountered
2) fix potential bug?

Huh. I can see theoretically how to get there, although I've never seen this is 
particular. Your research screen shows all "disabled" buttons - if so, which 
buttons? It should still be doing research, even if you can't select anything, 
so does research eventually still complete?

To clarify: it isn't uncommon to not be able to research everything. What I'm 
looking for is whether you are stuck in the tech tree. The gating points are:

- scout ufo
- frigate ufo 
- battleship ufo

You may or may not see a city battle, but that shouldn't gate anything.
Spitter battles are rare, period. (Intentionally. Spitters have a great 
cool/scary reaction, but the odds are wildly against you, and you'll probably 
have to abort the mission.)

In the test game I'm playing, I hit this situation, but it was before I beat a 
battleship. Once I got through the battleship battle, the research opened back 
up. Please re-open if you still see a bug or different issue.
