  1. You would have known if it had been a Chyrsallid commander, the battle ship wouldn't have headed straight for your base, it would flown towards your base, then away, then back, then away, then back, then away, then.....
  2. If you can get hold of the Collectors Edition then it will work fine on Windows XP if you turn hardware acceleration off on your graphics card, and if you don't have an S3 Graphics card.
  3. Damn , looks like Jellyfish realised I was talking about floaters after I slagged them off so much it is revealed that they once kicked my sorry butt
  4. I'm sure everyone has had some disastrous missions, ones that are doomed from the start. Here is one of mone. The first was my first ever terror mission, my 14 men all poured out of the Skyranger in the first two turns ... then something landed on the ground near my men ... hmmm what's that ... oh poo ... BANG! 6 Men left alive, in the next turn I send my men towards the direction the grenade came from, zap zap evil reaction fire... 4 little x-com soldiers left. On the next turn 3 men panic, one man is brave enough to fight on, he spots the enemy and fires an auto burst at it. The alien stands there looking puzzled at how the soldier can be firing at him and yet hit the building miles away from it ... 3 times ... on the enemies turn the alien puts him out of his misery ... 3 men left alive. My turn again, 2 soldiers panic, and the other one drops dead from his wounds from the grenade at the start, two men left ... zap zap ... 1 man left ... panics some more and drop his gun, runs off in a random direction, reaction fire ... the end. I nearly cried, I'd been doing so well up to then.
  5. When I come online here nobody seems to be on, or there's one or two at the most. Do I smell?
  6. After much experimenting I can now get Transengant theory, but only if I do it before I get UFO Detection, if I research UFO detection before the autopsies then it doesn't come up if I research them after for some reason? Bloody weird.
  7. Oh poo, well I have researched all of those, and still no transengent theory I think there must be something wrong with my copy. Is there anyway of getting round it and having the transengant theory researchable from the start? I've tried using the mod making package but it doesn't seem to work for me when I try.
  8. All my complaints about XP have now stopped, it now seems to work perfectly with everything, including games that insist that they won't work on windows XP
  9. I managed that mission first time without any problems, I did have the advantage that all my squad had very high rifle skills by then, I just immediatly spread out as the rockets were fired, took minor damage, then as soon as the rocket exploded I just concentrated all fire on a rocket firing alien, due to rifle skills they could all fire from extreme distances with alien lasers and very rarely miss, each alien I fired at lasted approximately 0.2 seconds I think
  10. What creatures do you NEED to have to research the Transengant Theory? No matter how many different creatures I capture and autopsy it never ever comes up, so obviously I have no way of defeating the biomass. It's really annoying me now, I know some creatures are essential and some just speed up the process if you've researched them. I just want to know the essential ones, and how to find them if possible. It's spoiling my enjoyment immensley, I've started fresh many times and still never got to research transengant theory.
  11. I think the floaters have been sampling the earth cannabis, which explains their slow reactions and incredible ability to get shot a lot without doing anything about it. I hope the floaters weren't named after an inability to flush toilets after use
  12. I think they got given all their names because it was a bit better than calling them Dave or Steve.
  13. I lost sympathy for them since they nabbed one of my bases ... EAT SHOTGUN ALIEN SCUM!!!
  14. You should be able to run it on WINuae which is a good amiga emulator, you will have to copy your kickstart roms from your amiga to the PC though, it tells you in winuae how to do this, if you download the kickstart roms and it's not the same as your owned kickstart rom for your amiga then it is illegal.
  15. I know but my normal shotgun blasted 1777 from maximum distance with the crappest soldier.
