well just so that sheevagreen is not mistaken here is another question
i got all the stuff i said in my second base the workers the labs and the equipment and materials i got from harvesters plus astro navigation, engines and particle beam what i dont got yet is live aliens in my main base, starting to work on this now is that why i cant research a lot of stuff i got atm no??

I would like to say this game is very well made and i know its in development stage but i must say its a promessing game and a true successor to ufo 1 and i hope to see it all up and running in the finished stage because it will be a very welcome game

Keep up the good work

Tactics / intercepting Ufos ( Harvesters)

« on: September 22, 2009, 07:07:44 pm »

Im having trouble intercepting harvesters, i read by a comment of a previous topic on a thing i asked about the same subject, but at the time i was using stilletos to intercept a harvester 1 only ...
Now i tried 3 sarracens armed with sparrows and t 20 pods and the 3rd with a cannon and of the 3 only 2 returned, 1 was shot down. All of them have ecms and 2 have targeting computers the 3r doesn't have because none were available to buy at the time.
So i ask to shot down a harvester with interceptors what do i need more or what configurations of thing i need to be able to shot down a harvester without any losses???

well i started the game now but im a vet in this kind of games and i use:
long range maps or medium
1 heavy machine-gun
4 sniper
rest assault rifles
all have med kits and granades and i got a smg in backpack for all for close quarters enconters as smg does a lot of dmg in 5 shot mode

In close quarters maps
so far i i use
1 flametrower with smg on backpack
rest smg

so far i got no guys killed and ony some injured sometimes

But im in first mont and i dint even shhot down a ufo but in that case im considering well the long range configuration and if i see its a close quartes map or im going to enter the ufo is smg and flamer...

oh ok. well the first ufo i see so far and im on first month is only harvesters and i tought they were a little bigger than scouts not a big big ufo, so stilettos can shoot down which ufos?? so that i decide if they are worth using or if i should stick only to Saracens till new things are discovered???

Well i tried to fight a ufo harvester with 2 stilettos and they were both shot down and the ufo survived, then i lunched a Saracen and it went down and i saw the combat from close range in the map and the misses are amazing i got missiles that were shot to the right and left of my aircraft and the ufo was in front of my figher, that seem a bit ridiculous...
As far as production i tried also on my test situation to produce clips of ammunition first and i saw a difference, as they were produced, i guess producing targeting computers is a bit ridiculous but it shouldn't be i think if it was a large craft ok but a component should take less time...

As far as not playing the original series i think u should definitely get the original series especially the first ufo that is a real master piece of a game and was years advanced in concept to the time it was released, i must say i played every ufo game arround, im a very addicted fan and the game that i found better is the first and this is very good also, most came with better graphics and more stuff but i still prefer this 2 to the rest that were lunched, but one recent ufo afterlight i think that is in 3d in in mars is very good also, the rest u could do well without them...

well i started on very easy to have 25 soldier to chose from to be better equipped for tactical combat and i have only a stilleto the helicopter with 2 sparrows and a cannon and every time  i lunch it, it goes down better have 2 of the Saracens no??
As for production i have one workshop or 2 i don't know i have what i got from start and it says i got 10 of 10 workers ready but a month goes by and they dont produce nothing i got them producing 2 targeting computers and ammo for my squad.
As for versions is it best that i start using 2.3 im using 2.21 and if 2.3 is stable i would like to try it.
as for research i thing its clear what u said and its fine that u didn't give the spoilers eheh i like to discover thing as game is very good remember the old but memorable ufo
