I can't capture a harvester
« on: February 18, 2008, 09:56:27 am »
When I'm end mission button 'store UFO' is disable. I have a base with "Large UFO Hangar" and in this base 7000 free points in "Storage". What I must do for store this UFO, because without it I no have sense play more...

The Harvester actually fits in a small UFO hanger, not a large.  The LARGE UFO's have yet to make their appearance.  So make sure you have lots of small ufo hanger space available.

Thanks!
It is very intrest. Logically "Large UFO hanger" can contain all ufo's. I'm view that harvester bigger al other UFO's. I think this is a game bug - "Large UFO hanger" must allow disasemble all possible construction UFO's/

i'd call it a bug.

please file a sourceforge bug report.

Actually the idea of a "UFO Hanger" of any size doesn't make much sense to me.  I had assumed it was for launching UFOs, until i lost out on my first captured UFO.  What special requirements does a hanger need for simply holding a UFO??

The UFO Hangers are special holding facilities to enable Disassembly of captured UFOs.  In effect they are more of a special workshop to hold ungainly shaped large objects with special pedestals, cranes, lifts, cutting gear, and hazardous material handling equipment.  When you get to the (current) final mission you will see what I think is one of the first large UFOs.

Then a UFO "hanger" should be required for UFO disassembly, but not for storage only.

I'm was build one base with one Small UFO hangar and one Large UFO hangar. In stores have ~ 6500 points free.
but button "store UFO" still disabled. How many "Small UFO hangar" I must build?

Though special facilities would still be required for maintaining the antimatter containment and for securing all the other strange gases and noxious compounds in the vessels. 

And is a game simplification.

How many UFOs have you captured?  1?  2? Any?  before the Harvester.

Before Mission with Harvester I'm capture all other UFO's, and researched all possible technologies.
I'm build on base 1 Large UFO Hangar and 3 Small UFO Hangar. After this I'm was capture Harvester.

So you have captured a Scout, a Fighter and a Supply Ship (3 UFO's)?

So, is there something that triggers the later options to capture the fighter and harvester?

I ask because I captured the scout some time ago and it's now late August and my research options are drying up.  I just completed the underground base terror mission, if that's a factor.

Is some research required or is it just wating for the missions to pop up where those craft can be captured?
