Thank you for the thorough explanation Max, perhaps I was too hasty with the scenario of: 1) all my combat aircraft are lost. 2) Have about 10K left in the budget 3) When I fast forward (time wise) it's mostly fighters I see on the map which I can't take down 4) If I send a chinook up to a crash\landing site it'll be shot down unless im very lucky. Will read the threads you've posted to learn a bit more, remind me to pick easy mode, normal is too mad! Seriously though, thank you so much for the reply, that's what beta balance is all about...that and more rewards for shooting the UFOs down hehe. Very late here so offski, nn max, ty again

Max_Caine apologies for offence, genuinly wasn't intended. I'm baffled that my reply (meant in jest) made my original post less valid. Heyho, thank you for the links to the other discussions, some of which I've read already, some of which I haven't so will give them a whirl. If you take your 'I'm familiar with this game' hat off, and came to it as a newcomer; would you come to the same conclusions as me? Take care, and thanks for the links.

Hi Max, nope haven't seen that exploit yet. Invincible interceptors does sound like a boon You're obviously a veteran judging by your post count, do the points I make have no merit?

Hi everyone, First of all I'm loving the game and hugely enjoyed following the development through kickstarter, alpha up to now (ahh desura why make things complicated!) Anyway we're on steam now which is fantastic. To the meat of the post..... The fighters are hugely annoying, be it 1 fighter or a wing of 3. with trial and error I can take them all down with the right mixture of condors\falcons, usually without losing a plane. But tbh that's a lie....save scumming is the only way I've found to keep on going. If I lose: 1 plane=In trouble 2 planes=F*$£!D but maybe recoverable. 3 planes=Game over man, game over My proposal (and apologies if I should have put this in another thread): Some type of reward wouldn't hurt for taking down fighters (or even taking down scouts or whatever over the sea.) Pretty simple, but take them down and you get a message like the following "North America\Europe\Soviet Union\Judeans Peoples Front awards you 20k\30k\40k per UFO you've just shot down, and they have a more positive rating of you." So cash reward and then... +5k or whatever per monthly funding At the moment there's too many fighters and for me at least, it's ruining the game, either make the fighters worth taking down or get rid, and don't get me started on the heavy fighters and bombers! Thank you for reading.

Hi everyone. Loving the game and it's development, on to the topic in hand....... Yes happens to me too, hugely frustrating and suprised that it's happening (after previous builds didn't have this problem. The annoying amount of fighters I'll leave for another thread ). A quick fix would be hugely appreciated, the game is pretty much unplayable atm without modding.
