Tactics / Base invasion

« on: December 16, 2010, 01:26:42 pm »

Base invasion. It is one hell of a problem. When the aliens invade your base, first thing you notice is that the base is HUGE! A LOT of ground to cower for 8 soldiers. Any tips or strategies how to defend your base??? Share them here! How to succesfully design a base, where to put enterances, which bulidings have access to the surface allowing aliens to walk in... .etc.

I myself hawe been putting living guaterses near important rooms since your soldiers start from theese living guarterses...

FAQ / Aircraft and armor

« on: December 16, 2010, 02:53:19 am »

There once was a time on UFO:AI when aircraft armor did nothing but slowed the craft down...  So is the armor still useless??? Or is it already capable of increasing your craft`s chances of survival???

Discussion / About the hivemind!

« on: December 16, 2010, 12:19:04 am »

To all of you who expirience a HORRIFFIC spoiler here: Sorry `yall, it was an accident, sorry!

BUT! I feel that the hivemind consept is a bit...  ...how to say it...  ...annoying! Maybe because the tamans are so cute, maybe because of the diversity of the alien species or maybe because i like to think with my feet on the ground! But that is my opinion! I let you UFO fanatics loose here to argue about this! And if admin asks: I didn`t started this topic!

Feature Requests / HEAVY duty support!

If i happen to have a SHIVA or some other gun like the airborne laser on my dropship (excluding missles and rockets), Wouldn`t it be logical that that heavy weapon on the dropship could be used to mow down some aliens too close to the dropship???

FAQ / Sniper rifle as accurate as a slingshot!

« on: December 15, 2010, 10:00:15 pm »

I hate one thing about the "sniper"rifle aliens reactionfire with PLASMAPISTOLS! Hits my sniper, i retaliate and the "sniper"rifle misses by a lenght of a HARVESTER! Come on! Pleace could the sniper be at least NEARLY as accurate as lasers??? Ir is hardly a SNIPER rifle on its current accuracy! (My sniper had accuracy of 31) I mean that 12 - 18 TUs for a shot that is a guaranteed miss is a high price! And because of thar i usually replace the snipers on my squads with something accurate, like shotgun! (yes that is sarcasm you can laugh now) But the Question is: Will the sniper get an accuracy buff???

Mapping / Bugged map!

« on: December 14, 2010, 01:03:27 pm »

 Hello this is my first post and topic and so on...   ...BUT Lets stay on the point! I hawe found a broken (or bugged) map! The map "Big city" On that map your soldiers 1-7 are stuck on the firebird and the eight one is the only one that can move! One soldier against 6-8 tamans! Not wery fair! Since your soldiers cant even hit a boardside of a barn!
