You're right, Annihilators. It's been awhile. They carry lots of shields as well. I accidentally found out in one game that I could run to an edge or corner in the alien dimension, allow my shields to regenerate, then raid at my leisure. The UFOs will follow their patrol pattern unless you get too close. Before long, the whole alien dimension is cleared out stopping raids on the city. Send some ships back every once in a while since they will try to slowly rebuild.

ha ha what about the all-time favourate: 'participate in a real life terror strike situation!'
I'm one of those twisted people who would probably enjoy something like that.
-
Yes but without some of the silliness like throwing grenades long distances. I liked the Lovecraftian feel of TFTD. A Xenonauts 2 could be even more so.
-
I believe I've seen that as well. Its like they're both unassigned and unavailable. I think EU and TFTD did the same thing however you could send out wounded soldiers in Apoc, a necessity in the early game.
-
PCs get little love and respect these days.
-
Never used them yet. Do they have the other drugs from EU?
-
the public love them. Bridge night every wednesday with your local Xenonauts squad really brought the public support out =p
An interesting way to raise needed funds. How about church bingo? Bake sales? Lotteries? UFO rides?

An early Cult of Sirius.

I was hoping Xenonauts 2 would be something like TFTD.

Vigilance, Violence, Vengeance
I like the Vigilance but the other two makes us seem like the bad guys. We need to maintain our moral superiority.
Perhaps we could reuse some slogans from the cold war and turn them in Xenonaut slogans? Better dead than Grey? Or insert an alien race name that rhymes with Dead?Reusing cold war slogans may be cool and show a touch of humour. But better dead than grey? If I were a grey I'd be happy to oblige.

I could do without the Next Soldier buttons.
Using a standard red/green colour for status bars would be better and less confusing although other colours would be fun.
-
I remember asking once how many soldiers you could stuff into the Chinook and the answer was 12 (you need to not load a vehicle though). I think there was one non-fillable slot but don't remember what was said about it.
-
Almost there in my current game. I'll post when I find out.

Dunno, a rocket screaming along at head height with a payload of kids toys and wooden blocks would be pretty awesome to me.
Reminds me of the Berlin Airlift in 1948 (and no, I'm not THAT old
).ABC or NBC (or some other) is probably a matter of national preference. One of my sons is on a NRBC decon team (Nuclear, Radiological, Bio, Chemical). I always thought the N and R were basically the same thing.

My workshops have nothing to choose yet. I get back to you once I get to laser weapons (shortly).
-
I think it was Avengers and Retaliators. The Avengers had heavy and medium beam weapons, and the Retaliators had statis missiles and medium beams. I went for the big guys first, hid in a corner until my shields recharged, then go out for more. Repeat until nothing was left. I never built Biotrans because they were never needed. I would just place a bio-module on a ship if I was hoping to bring back specimens.
-
Starting to sound like the Cult of Sirius in Apoc.
-
Only ever needed one final ship in EU and TFTD. In Apoc I'd build 2 #1 ships and 2 #2 ships and send them fully loaded to the alien dimension to clear out all of the UFOs. Now THAT was fun!
-
Right. Crossing the Rubicon. Not sure if anyone knows where the river is anymore.
-
I've always had research and manufacturing done at my main base in EU and TFTD but would expand out for builds in Apoc.
-
Mylittlepony pink sounds like a great colour for when the bravery gets very low.
-
Even the poop would be cool (as long as it doesn't hit the fan!
). Flying that fast over the ground could have ramifications (people would naturally blame the cold war adversary of choice). -
Desura will prompt you if an update is available and will let you download it. You should have v8.5 now if you've joined as recently as your Join Date indicates. Stay tuned to the forum to know when a new version is coming.

I'll have to try later at home. My firewall at work is blocking most of my searching.
Edit: Still looking... I think I read this about 15 years ago.

I never thought of human psionics as unbalanced. Its just that the aliens (or alien AI) did not use it as well as I did.
I don't mind seeing the blaster bombs go away. I over-used them to lay down barrages to clear the way, particularily in alien base and large UFO missions. (and it was never good to be hit by them...)
