Zorac56 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ok lets set the scene.... I am hunting through the entire map for the last alien, when I finally find him I charge him with my scout holding a stun rod. the alien turns blue and falls on the ground, my scout proceeds to put him in his backpack, I then hit end turn and the game ends showing that it was indeed the last alien. My problem however is that despite this it still says one alien escaped and zero where captured. Is capture not implemented yet or am I doing something wrong? and if it is implemented and it was meant to be like this might I suggest that captured aliens count as dead instead of escaped so it doesn't count against your score?

Straker Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Not yet implemented. They probably won't do anything about scoring since its still an alpha build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your scout is secretly an alien symathiser / cultist. He doesnt tell anyone else that he stunned that alien that he then hid in his backpack and smuggled out allowing for its escape.

killerhellhound Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 or he wanted to scretly disect the live alien for killing his buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 in the real game it may be that you have to research the alien autopsy first before you can capture them anyways. Maybe. that's an idea that's being tossed around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justaround Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If I may, can I ask for clarification? in the real game it may be that you have to research the alien autopsy first before you can capture them anyways. Maybe. that's an idea that's being tossed around Why would one need to research autopsy? I am under the impression it would work exactly the same as in case of humans - you disassemble the organism and see how it ticks. Also, you can very well dissect dead aliens so no need to capture alive specimen to cut it into pieces. Sure, you won't learn as much from the dead one as from the living (interrogation etc) and to store live alien securely it would be wise to research proper compartments. But it's a different thing. Unless you meant that in the very beginning and it's plain misunderstanding. I apologize then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Um...yeah. The idea is that you'd have to research an alien corpse (carry out and autopsy on it) before you can capture and imprison live aliens of that race. You have to do this for each alien race (except vehicles and maybe Androns). Back to the original question: Capturing isn't implemented yet, and I think stunned aliens are counted as 'killed' AND 'escaped'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justaround Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ah, then everything's fine. I was worried he meant that first one has to research a way of dissecting alien corpse and THEN he can dissect and research alien corpse which leads to research of ways of capturing and reserching living alien. Which idea I wasn't too fond of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 no no sorry about that. Good clarification Sathra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) or he wanted to scretly disect the live alien for killing his buddy It's called vivisect then. disect is only on the dead. Edited January 8, 2012 by Gorlom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorac56 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 thanks everyone then and killed aliens and escaped aliens give the same points (obviously in positive and negative) so it doesnt make a diffrece correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Your score is still lower than it should be though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorac56 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 oh you lose more points for aliens escaped then you gain for aliens killed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 no it's just it cancels itself out, while if you capture them and they don't 'escape' then you get a positive amount of points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
