Guys, I've been away from this forum for school (mostly) and another game (recently). If you like UFO, check out a tile-based, turn-based, multi-player online game by the name of Tactics Arena Online at: http://digisonline.com/ or http://www.tacticsarena.com/
I play on the former URL on a lifetime membership, since the latter has 4 servers but requires 5 bucks a month. It has a free forum, though: http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/
You need Flash 6 or higher to play: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/
Now for some X-COM Chat:
To get psi-labs, I used to try for Sectoid leaders/commanders, but they usually come in the bigger ships, and you have to fight through lots of aliens and probably lose most of your guys due to the MC, just to get at the sucker.
A far safer way is to wait until Ethereal craft show up. Knock down as many as you safely can. (An interceptor with one single plasma beam can do it.) If it's a big ship, just land and take off immediately. But if you down a small or tiny Ethereal UFO (probably with something weaker than a plasma beam.. try a laser cannon or something like that), send in your squad armed with only stun weapons and rush the small number of Ethereals. Research any Ethereal--they do not have to be leaders or commanders to give you psi. Voila.
I've also never seen a Celatid reproduce. Silacoids and Celatids both die very quickly, though I sometimes mind control them to scout around for me.
PrejudiceSucks is probably waiting to post no. 1600, so I'm doing him a favor by posting no. 1599. ;) |
