How to use the missle battery?
« on: February 15, 2009, 06:21:43 pm »
Hy!

First: great game, i love playing it (version 2.2.1 auf win xp)

I got some problem with the building "missile battery". I created it on a base. After that I had some searches hrere in the forum, to find out, that i need to buy a rocket launcher and some missiles. but i can not find them if I look at "Buy/Sell Equipment" or at Production.

Do I need something additionally to get the missles?

You cannot buy but produce it (AA51 Launcher and missiles).

Have you checked the Aircraft equipment screen ('Other' section)?  I'm in the wrong OS right now (dual-boot and have UFO-AI on only one of 'em) so can't check, but I think it might be there.

Once you have 'em, you'll need to select the missile launcher facility and do an equipment install.  And if you want to fire them, you'll need to explicitly tell tell the base to target the UFO in question -- there' s no 'fire at will' standing order in 2.2.1  AFAICT.
