silencer_pl Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 But we have researched random alien - namely The Deep One to get MC Lab ;p Now we must resaerch origins -> Navigator -> Something something -> Commander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 But it'll also depend on how quickly the Triton will refuel after each assault. I can't remember if it is necessary to go home after a mission. If it is not you can just take more ammo with you and go for several missions if not too many are hurt or lost.

silencer_pl Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Nope - sorry that was the leisure for UFO:AM... After mission the Ranger mission is put to : Low on fuel returning to base. You can try issue new order but it will be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 indeed, apoc also allows to travel all over the place without returning to base but the originals do not... I want dibs on the MC thingy when we get one, I am the best after all Speaking of which, why are there still no other commadner avatars? We need them for T'leth at the very least or it'll be a dead boring mision (we're all going to die there anyway after all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I've allready got my avatar in using an assumed name I made up for a letter I composed for an English paper I did many years ago in high school. Problem is I can't fit in the 'Fingersham' due to the limited string field length. Still wounded and apparently a cowardly weakling - so won't be able to participate in any of the three downed subs. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hokay - took my turn and I'm going right to bed after this. I'm officially in the tank busters club and I'm starting to hate Lobsterman Technicians. I might've attracted the attention of some Lobstermen base attackers again after shooting down one of their scouts. Also I seem to have gotten a glitched mission tally with double the values of almost everything in the top half of the screen. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Exactly the same thing that happened to me if you remember when I redid that mission. Very odd that none of us have seen this error before and now we've had it twice in the same game hey :s Anyway, good job, cleaned the place out for only 2 losses which is no mean feat Shame about poor old Carlos, if only he'd been off the ground hey lol Can't believe it took so many turns though, you were being very careful I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Y'now, we could just manually correct the mission results screen. Uploaded the MISSDAT folder from the end of the mission if you still have it and want me to do it. I get the impression that it doesn't matter where you shoot down USOs, but rather, the longer they're allowed to float around near your base the more likely they'll find it? Mind you, I've done no research into the matter, nor payed attention to any research that may have been done... I'm just going by how it works when we want to find an alien base... It occurs to me that there'd've likely been a DPL or two in that battleship mission I did, and if an alien had cared to fire one at the group I put on top of the Triton I would've been seriously messed up. The roof of the Triton is such that any unit needs to walk to the very edge of it to see the terrain on the other side. This isn't limited to tanks. Note that they can see units fine, so if there's an alien in range, it'll show up within the fog of war. If it'd been me, I'd've seriously considered sending the Triton home when I determined it was going to be a night mission. Wait for the next morning, and if the USO despawned before then, hey, no big deal... shoot down another sub and fight that. As it stands that was a very good result, day or night!

NKF Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I don't have the Missdat entry anymore as I immediately saved in a separate slot and tried to reload my last periodic save to see if I could correct the problem by re-ending the mission. Turned out my last save was before taking out the last two aliens in the lift. I guess it doesn't really matter at this stage of the game, we can just skip one of the subs. I did take a long time because it was a night mission. Felt like I was reverting back to my old style of playing where I'd go reeeealy slooowly. As in 80+ turns for a Large Scout in UFO for example. Sonic cannons aren't very mobile weapons. - NKF edit: Screens are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 All done, went a bit wrong at the end though I'm sorry to say... That Melanie bird I took with me is an amazing sniper!

NKF Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 No, not Melanie! Now Weird Al can no longer sing about stalking her anymore! Oh well, she had a few good turns. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Wait a minute, wasn't Melanie my super sniper from the last game I played :s NOOOOO!!! She cleared the entire battlefield singlehanded! Silencer what have you done! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Meh, you'd've forgotten her name by the next mission anyway - at least she gets more time in the limelight this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Indeed, I'd like to propose we rename one of our bases the 'Melanie whatever her name was listening post' All in favour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 With everyone carefully using him, your avatar's become the man for the job now. Way better than Melanie. To keep the flow going I skipped the queue as well. I accidentally uploaded the original screens, not the double sized ones I'd processed. But shouldn't matter as it was just an every-day mission against an escort. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
