Discussion / Re: Disassembly time

Could you also try and make disassembly time dependent on state of the UFO? I have a Fighter UFO in my yard on 20%, which will yield 84 alien material and nothing else, while it will still take 1100 hours to disassemble it. I will probably just destroy the yard in the end, and start collecting 100% UFOs again, but it will take 11 days to build a new one. 

Wow! That makes much sense. Damaged UFOs should be having a lower disassembly time, because they are already disassembled by your missiles, he he he!

I like this screenshot! I am always wondering why, when I am fighting in a Big City, the only building around is a parking lot!

Oh, I see. It is just that, in lurking the forum I have seen in reference to the "drug lord" map in which the asker was told that this map would only appear after he is playing the game for a time.

Thank you again!

Hello!

Isn't it that XVI is according to the games storyline causing a mind control of the aliens? Maybe then they would not fight each other, because the XVI is controlling them?

Discussion / New mission types?

(I do hope this is in the right section.)

Hello. I haven't been playing this game for very long, but I am loving what you guys have done here, and am really having a good time.

Anyway, I am curious about something. Recently, while playing (this is just after disassembling my first UFO, if it is any bearing on the missions that come up) I received a mission, about a landed UFO I think, and it was a "Wilderness" type map. I sent my soldiers to this mission, only to discover a whole new map type! (I was very pleased, and excited).

And again, more recently, I received notice of a mission at a resort! The change of scenery was very refreshing, and I enjoyed this map as well.

So my question is, are map types depending on research? Are new map types and mission types becoming enabled when a certain "threshold" is crossed? Or is it only depending on time?

Thank you very much! I hope I'm not being too silly.

I love the laser rifle, to the point of using it against things I really shouldn't (i.e. armored Ortnoks).

I do have a little love for the riot shotgun, though, for some silly reason.
