...Then I let the first 10 scientists start to work on laserguns, during that time the first aliens were killed bringing more stuff to exlore - and that's where I already dunno what's the best to do next :-/

Try to research laser rifles (they are really good for start..) and then grenades

I'm sure that in TFTD using grenades meant quick strategy

And it's also great that aliens in UFO have smaller inteligence then their brothers in TFTD, so they don't use grenades that much, so you can get pretty large amount of these killers from them

Higher intelligence yet 65 million years less advanced...

Etheral/Sectoid Commander(maybe also Sectoid medic...dunno)-PSI lab, and using PSI powers...

It's any Ethereal and Sectiod Leaders/Commanders for psi.

Etheral Commander= Location of Cydonia-Final Mission in the game

Any Leader for the Martian Solution, then any Commander for Cydonia or Bust. (Commanders can be from a Battleship or Base.)

I skipped laser all together. Researched Heavy plasma and I've never had any ammo problems. :whistle:

By the way is there a rank above commander?

Hellow
use the rear wings of the skyranger at your advantage, you can snipe from there (you need flying suit to go up there of course). This tactic gave me good results when dealing with large ships
Use flying to place your men in the rooftoop of the ship and close to the entry door, looking at it, you'll get a good splinter-cell tactic that usually works for me
And make holes in the walls... sometimes it helps.
To deal with the deeply entrenched alien who reacts to everything that moves: use a rookie with a couple of armed grenades, sometimes I use to carry a small suicide squad (2 or 3 men) in the transport to deal with those situations.
Hovertanks are bullcrap in my opinion, a big waste of time, money and resources. Tanks are good to recon
Don't get hurt, Bye!

Another good tactic for those large ships is to clear the area and then line your guys up facing the door.
Use the reaction fire an some grenades to thin the alien numbers before moving in.
Just remember to spread out so that you dont get wiped out by an enemy grenade.
I found that I only use 1-2 men at the most and is great for rookies to improve. k:

Well I spent a couple of hours last night to play this game and didn't find it interesting at all. :blink: It is not attractive, you just wait for an UFO and after that folllow it then deploy your units and then bang bang... Is that all about this game...

It needs to be a commander you captured at an alien base.

Kearnsy: there is no higher rank than commander.


Tip of the moment: Skyrangers won't protect your soldiers inside from blaster bomb explosions, at least a lot of the damage passes through. And apparently it's possible to steer such a bomb through a shed window.

No...any will work. I get them from Battleships regularly...

Heh, ive never had a blasterbomb fly into my skranger.

Also when attacking UFO's always bring at least 2 demo packs, if you can bring 10, hell bring 20 if ya really wanna.

Demo Packs are cheap yet extremly effective, you can blow walls in smaller UFO's and its amazingly useful when you have flying suits and you drop a demo-pack through holes. Demo Packs make very good room clearers, of course be sure that when you prime it always leave it 1 turn instead of 0, thatway justincase your dude goes unconcious another person can chuck the pack away.

And bahman, UFO is obviously a kick-behind game judging by this thread legnth alone, of course for some people it is not thier cup of tea. You might simply not prefer the finer details of UFO: Enemy Unknown.

I don't think High Explosives ($1500 a pop) can punch through outer UFO walls without XCOMUTIL. But some UFOs come ready-made with holes in the ceilings thanks to your Firestorm/Interceptor/whatever's work in the Geoscape.
