Yesterday I had at the same time 2 ships down, and 2 that lended by them self. It took me a while to clear everything. (Of course, first one that lended, and then other 2 that were shouted down. :blink:

So far I got one advanced crew - to take big ships, while I'm building another one on second base. It's 3rd month, and I was surprised of this high UFO activity seen thanks to large radar.

While my crew was cleaning one of lendings, they discovered an alien base, which my advanced crew whiped without loosing a single man.

It is important to not allow aliens to see you first. If that's happen, all of them will try to midn-control you.

So far got 4 guys with 8 kills.

Hm, true. I like gamemakers who do that, actually. Rather than making some ULTIMATE weapon and ULTIMATE equipment for humans, you have the ULTIMATE alien species. Wish more folks would do that :Tom:.

Thanks for the tips guys. I haven't had time to load my game again (accursed work!!!) and give it another try fighting the Ethereals and sectopoids.. will try in a couple of hours though... gonna carry LOTS of blaster launchers :ok:

Oh yeah and if you look at Ethereal stats, they have great firing accuracy and reactions and stuff.. very dangerous beasts.

What are you guy's verdicts on Sectalids etc?

I think they are craptastic, but some say that they are good. A good stun rodding will always take them down though.

I shoot things with rockets.

If I am correct, since I am not a X-Com geek, "Sectalids" are aliens, and since I've met every alien in the game, and shot each and everyone one of those aliens with rockets, I must say most things die quickly.

so you are rocket girl? :whistle:

You could say that yes, but I don't want to start spewing one liners.
I have a phobia of super heroes with bad acting.

Psst, Rockets + Aliens = Dead.

This is longest not-spam thread,that isnt aimed to have 1000,10000 or 100000 posts I have ever seen
Anyway I dont like rockets that much.As alternative weapon,sure...But you need some autofire to backup things.
Btw If I hold RL in one hand, and AC in other,do I have lower accuracy? :blink:

Dreadlord, you've just inspired me. I'm going to try both of the following things:

1. Only use troops equipped with rocket launchers/blaster launchers.
2. Only use troops armed with grenades and pistols.

Banzai. Terror-site, prepare to be leveled :Titan:.
