UFO Impacter

[Zox613]

Have another strange idea for alien attack against phalanx base : an UFO impacter (Unknown Falling Object  ) for reach subterran installations.
May be a new type of attack when player can intercept all other type of UFO in adjanced saved games (nearby the end).

writing english too bad, ya i know

Well, AFAIK aliens don't have some kind of inertial dampeners. Without them, all that would be left of alien team when the impacter lands would be red jelly.

Ya that 's right (but i'm not sure the jelly was red), maybe some robots like alien spiders can stand it...

now, I'm not very good at languages, so i ran that though babel fish...

"besides [Triala] it is possible to look into the sport -[Markete]. From the analogs Of [daynez], but the sizes are only man."

EDIT: ran it though goggle translate too... "UFO except Triana can search in Sports Market.
We have a unique Daynez, but men's sizes only." 

Ether babel fish AND google translate are crazy, and dont understand what you said, or your really talking about men sized sport's wear... lol.




on topic: so you mean, like alien assault drop-pods, full of blood-spiders? that would be... amusing...

[Sarin]

Indeed, but if I was an alien, I'd just fill that damn thing with antimatter instead.

*KA-BOOM*

BTW, odds are it's a spammer...and not a good one.

[DiDiT]

ah, but antimatter is valuable... I think...

I would just build a huge spaced based particle cannon and fire that at it...

*KA-ZAP-BOOM!*

Rofl.

Hm, really, if it was reality, aliens probably wouldn't bother and, if PHALANX base is located, they'd just blast that whole thing along with a few square miles around.

But, it's a game. Aliens just gotta give player a chance.

[Zox613]

Aliens can "zap"-blast whole earth surface  , but they don't!?...
The idea of an impacter to attack subterran structures was fun to me...
The impacter was full of alien robots or equiped with hydro-tanks that strongly reduce  effect of acceleration (i have seen a movie where US air force tested semi-rigid hydro-armor better than air-presure suits for accelerations but not for moving).
voilà, voilà...

OOOH, just use it as a Kinetic Kill Vehicle and get it over with.

To be specific:  Have it warp in in high Jupiter orbit, then slingshot around that and fall sunward.  Probably either just falls on earth, or course corrects to land on a base or city. 

You will need new maps for bombed areas.

talking about that, someone should make everything in the map destroyable

You DO know that that has been suggested/requested repeatedly, only to be shot down by the devs again and again?

[Thrashard96]

what's the prob?

[Hertzila]

what's the prob?

Just informing you that it (destructable enviroment) is most likely never going to be implemented.

[Thrashard96]

but why? is it too hard to code that?

[Hertzila]

but why? is it too hard to code that?

IIRC, the devs have said so and also that they have a lot of other stuff that needs to be done. This is pretty low on their to-do lists, I guess.
