dpelectric Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 What's the prerequisite to be assaulted? Try flashing a huge wad of bills around, or walk into a bar and spit on the biggest guy you see. I've also heard that calling bikers "Sweet Cheeks" works too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiktaalik Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Okay.. What does it take to have one of my bases assaulted? I think they're more likely to attack your bases if you're really hammering them. I think it's an aggro thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalDragon Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I think they're more likely to attack your bases if you're really hammering them. I think it's an aggro thing. Nop, the system dosent work that way. Each UFO has a detection range and im vanilla game each range of time is a possibility to generate an base attack event, if Im wrong is 10% per each 20 mins in game universe. If the alien ship has the "possibility" to attack base enable, your base is in his dectection range and meet the 10% success in a roll, that ship will go directly to you base to attack. The problem is that the % in vanilla is low and many players shotdown the nearest UFO in range of a base, reducing the possibility in some games to cero. In other hand I hear that there is a bug with this feature that the only base that trigger this event is the "older" base (Many times is the first one). So... you only need to build defenses in the main base not in secondary. Edited June 15, 2014 by TacticalDragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Basically some UFOs just spawn with a base attack mission (maximum of two per month I think). If they are not shot down, they will definitely attack one of your facilities. Or that's how it should work....is it not doing that for you?

kabill Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I've had an instance previously while doing some testing of not having a base defense mission at all as far through as February. I literally did nothing during the test, so there's no chance I shot down the relevant UFOs. I figured it was just luck, though; I've done the same test some other times too and had a few base attacks up to the same point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larus Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I can confirm that even if let the UFOs with base attack mission fly around will they usually NOT attack my base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shima Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the response, Chris. I tried it again. It took about full two months (in pretty much lategame) of UFOs freely rampaging around the geoscape to attack one of my bases. Well, it seems that if you are at least partially successful when shooting down UFOs, you will never be assaulted. And one other thing, I finally upgraded one of my shield guys with Sentinel suit and it's missing animations in flight. Flying with shield in one hand, that is. Plus it's annoying that you can't send soldiers in Sentinel suit and Buzzard armour further than their TUs allow, like other soldiers. Normally soldiers will stop at the last green square available when you send them moving, but flying soldiers will refuse to move unless you send them to a square in TU available distance. EDIT: Oh and please, PLEASE add some visible button to leave soldier equipment screen just before base assault. Something like "START MISSION". I spent five minutes frantically clicking over everywhere in that damned screen and pressing pretty much every key on my keyboard (and mashing ESC repeatedly) not being able to leave it! I had to go to the forums to find out that you just have to press the geoscape button. Edited June 15, 2014 by Shima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yawyk Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 In the base management tab, my monthly cost is $1,400,250, the last zero is cut-off slightly at the end. Not fitting in the allocated space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llunak Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 That apparently doesn't work, aircraft speed and range is the same for all difficulties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
