Bomb Bloke Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 You don't have to send ground forces to every ship you shoot down... I often leave the larger etheral ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niml Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 heh.... yeah after my encounter with an Etheriel Battleship ive decided to skip 90% of the larger etheriel ufo's... then i decided to take out an alien base and go figure etheriels buuuuut as i ended a turn then heard a blaster bomb heading for my guys a great wonderful thing happened. The etheriel blaster bomb didnt make it. it just blew up prematuraly. This killed 9 etheriels and 2 sectopods. then i just blaster bombed the control center killing anoter 5 etheriels. then after that just hunted down the last etheriel and killed him. nonetheless lost 4 troops and a tank in said excursion -_-' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 lol But i am guessing the benefits outweighed teh losses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niml Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 yup ^^. going against alien base 7 now... which i figure is an etheriel base as all the supply ships and battleships land on it have etheriels.... but yeah.... soon soon ill be able to do stuff ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 There are benefits to fighting etherals... but they tend to be one-offs. Once you've kicked their butts enough times, you can leave them well alone. It all depends what you want to research, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niml Posted August 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 pretty much finished all the research just formatted comp though so have to reinstall stuff. But yeah i still avoid etheriels until i get enough psi strong troops... only have 3 so far :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Tanks should help. I usually bring one to any mission, but if you want the extra firepower (and you don't want it going mad), bringing them in extra numbers might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
