I came to a point when the landingships arrive, I've got only 2 Laserrifles and some jackal armour, to get bet stuff i need alenium, but if i start a mission, the chopper is surrounded by aliens with exceptional weaponry that shoots me outside of my LoS. If even dare to step out, i will lose this brave man's life .. I would use combat shields, but they cause bugs so i can't end missions at all.. Any advice how to save myself ?
Should i just retreat from such missions for now and try find easier targets ? (but i haven't seen any scouts for a good while now )
Or should i try to win such a mission and try to get better weaponry, armour ?
