ok heres the topic, we all hate aliens and the craft they fly in but what craft do u hate the most out of the UFOs u see thats right all 10 of em which one do u hate the most and for what reason, this is not a poll per say but a way of seeing which UFO everyone hates and express ur views over this damn ships, overspawn is not included as its not a craft, aliens and buildings are in the other post this is for UFOs only, make ur views knowen and vent sum anger

ill start with my vote for Fast attack ship as its so damn hard to hit and take down in early game as it moves like greased lightning and fires that damn medeum beam and can wipe bikes and hovercars easy, plus it packs decent armour to withstand most fire untill u get advanced weapons later in game

I quite like the big ships, as the aliens tend to run amok with them - Annoying just about every organisation in the city, resulting in everyone coming out to help you in the attack.

 

But right now, I can't think of any UFO I hate more then the others. ;)

I find the #3 alien transport to be the one I hate the most. It's an easy ship, but I hate it mostly because it only appears for a very brief time and is represents a major research bottleneck. If you miss it, you'll never get into the alien dimension. Simple as that.

 

The alien bomber deserves some mention. If you're still using hoverbikes, it eats them up for breakfast. Otherwise it's pretty average as UFOs go.

 

The fast attack ship is nasty early on, but luckily, you only need to capture one in order to progress your research. But once you get medium disrupter beams, they lose their efficacy. But yes, I find this ship causes the most grief in the early part of the game.

 

I like the capital ships. They're big juicy targets. The assault ship is also one of my favourites. Not sure why, but it seems easy - at least when you compare it to the reward you get for capturing one (often the first medium disrupter sample).

Personally i completely hate the assault ships, or the ice cream cone ones...

 

i don't know why, but i can't stand them

 

hah i cant think why so much, they are slow and easy targets and have a funny shape, though they do drop quite alot of aliens in buildings which early on can be tricky for ur agents, as for NFKs point about transports thats very true if u miss em then ur stuck for quite a while, then again they are easy to shoot down even with escorts they fall very quickly under heavy fire, bombers yeah they are quite nasty with that multi bomb launcher and bombers are nimble craft and can take the lumps, i c no one has mentioned the escort ufos but why would u they cant damage u at all, u can wipe em out with probes because all they do is freeze ur ship, anyways good views seems the view is the smaller ships and the middle point of the game, assult ships and fast attack ships, the later stage ones like bomber and motherships seem to be less of a problem then again u get the bigger ships by then and due to the size of the last 2 its nxt to impossible to miss, keep the post coming

It's the battleships that irk me the most. They're not difficult to down, they're just a pain in the arse to recover, you've always got to go through those bloody tunnels to get to the UFO entrance where those three megaspawn hang around. It would be better if the UFO maps were all randomly generated instead of being exactly the same evry time you carry out a crash site investigation.

On the bright side, as the maps are always the same, you'll know what to expect and can develop strategies around them.

 

I find the hardest part is entering and clearing out the battleship. The tunnels and the entrance aren't that bad, although things can easily go very wrong at the entrance to the battleship if you're impatient or there is lots of smoke around.
