Ok so I figured you can do direct hit you have to fire far away from him to down em without killen. Now the thing is when I go to take off with him ( I saved right before ) ( and I dragged him by back pack all the way to the ship) weather I drop him on the ground or keep him in the pack when i lift off it gives me one of 2 different messages, either it will say 2 aliens killed ( I killed one right outside the landing zone) or 1 killed one captured but in either scenario when I check research their is nothing new in the list and I have 2 deep ones in my body selling list ( I always keep one of each case i missed research) Is my game bugged? that would be most disappointing considering how much i put into this game. also in my research tab I have heavy thermic lance, alien origins, Gauss & sonic defense, and 4 live aliens which if I research I get no information from and they dont disappear off my list (???) All quite frustrating!

After waiting a long time I finally got a terror mission and yes I found a deep one on it but for some reason Im missing my thermic lances to capture it alive and I messed up my save file so I cant go back arg the only thing I have is the thermal shock launcher but when I use it on the alien is for some reason kills the alien and i cant figure out why ( the gun that shoots the small round ammo that i though you could cap live aliens with) Ive tryed shooting the round further away and right on him kills the deep one every time

battleship I got it but which mission will they be on, Ive check a lot of them and none of them so far I've seen say mission: Terror or something like that. Yes I did research all of that so I should be good just need to find a live deep one now!

Better to just shoot the device from above their the 1 square window for colony missions but for a strat I discovered ( unless someone takes the credit since Im still new here) check out my Similar topic and read post #6.

Thanks that helped alot I was checken out all the downed gillian and Tasoth ships to no dice but Ill do that next. Which ships only do terror missions and what is the research bug?

Got it thanks, I got my network up and dropen UFOs like fly's with my new sonic oscillators. Is their any easy way to find Deep ones? Ive dropped almost 15 subs and none of them have deep ones on them for me to capture.

Also how do you get pictures to work pressing "print screen" button and pasting in paint is how I normally do it but when i do it comes up like this: Win Print screen from game

You both continue to impress me, very thorough easy to understand information, my compliments -Spoiler alert- I found a very easy way to blow up the device. I came from the top left corner of the room. All of my soldiers were at the start and I took one down which was armed with the multi directional rocket thing. Once I got to the tip of the room ( only 15 spaces away from the elevator to Marine start no less) I shot the rocket going up one level aimed at the elevator but rather then trying to go up the elevator which was my original idea I decided to take out the floating brain looking guy in the left upper opening. While I did miss the brain guy the rocket when flying above him exploded and after the turn completed I got a message saying i destroyed the device. I was confused on how but after going to the last save I figured out ( if anyone hasn't already) you can blow up the device from the floor below as I accidentally did. The brain guy lived but I ran out quick so I beat the artifact mission ( since the 1st level the pyramid was really close) in about 8 turns Again thank you for the pictures they are very helpful. I just lost funding with USA but Im still making about 7-8mill a month from the rest since I have had only excellent scores. I found the colony that was targeting US but it seem unfruitful to attack it since they already got US and unfortunately in this game their is no way to get a country back once its gone. I wish they made a patch that allowed you to get countrys lost back just make it take alot of work or something Anyways wishful thinking for now. I'm 2 days away from getting a global transmission network up and running so I can find the darn deep one craft to get me the better armors but at least I learned to sack old rines with low bravery stats and get better, I played a mission where it took me almost 50 turn to win cause I would sit their waiting for all the rines i had left to be not panicked or berserk. I have MC disruptor as well but no matter how many times I try I can never get an alien to panic or take control, is their any trick to this? seem all aliens have 60+ bravery Anyways thanks again! -Sanic

Well first off I'm glad to see such a quick response, normally good games from back in time all the forums like these ones our dead and unused much like a game called Warheads I was into. Anyways yes that was the original post I read before making my own. However my post above was asking about the colony mission in where you have have to destroy one device. I did find it in a small whole on lvl 1 that had 4 windows blocking the ability to toss anything in. Once side out I just dropped in a sonic nade and ran and it was an easy win. Took forever just to get into the place with all the aliens. The pics on your other post our not the same one that I saw perhaps if you have the time you can post ones for colony missions in case someone in the future finds these forums with that question. I saw you pics and DLed them, I found one of those areas (assuming their in more then one device) but it compacted with enemies from above and some below so I haven't got in yet. Is their more then one of these devices I need to blow up and if yes how many? I really need to research heavy sonic I'm getting my butt kicked in here and i don't want to start a new game thanks for the help zombie you are a gentleman and a scholar. -Sanic

For the life of me I cant find the thing, Ive searched room after room Ive been on this mission from start to finish for more then 4 hours now and I cant find it. I read other posts and have pictures too but still cant find anything like it. Can anyone please give me a step by step from starting at the start point ( all the blueish disco type squares on the ground) to where I go and look for next. Do I go to the top and work my way down or just go to the bottom and look for a stair case or a certain elevator. I have got to a room with 2-4 lobstemen guarding it their is a large hole they like to fall down but every time I get close they fire the multi angle rocket thing and blow me all up and Im no where close to getting to that hole. anyways thanks, Im a big fan of xcom from when i was a kid and searching along I happen to find it again. I almost beat xcom 1 but moved and lost the game files a couple years ago and just now got xcom 2 and looking foward to playing more expecially since I just got the first armor so my buddys dont die in one shot now Im working on disrupter so i can mind control their guys see how they like it. My guys get mind controlled or panic very easy even know i they all our able seamen and one is the next rank up from that. Also to everyone else I found this nifty strat guide if you ever need more help but i will mention it does have spoilers. http://www.xcomufo.com/tftdsg.txt
