can someone answer irishguys question?

Why make a plane that atomizes your target, you get no cash from that. The only use it has is if you have UFOS everywhere and it's your 4th plane at a base, and it can take out a battleship/carrier by itself over water where you wouldn't get money anyway

oh my god just found out that so far in my game I never have done a mission on a battleship. Apparently every massive ship I shot down and did mission on was the carrier. I must have airstriked the few battleships I shot down. Wow never thought to target the battleship. I am doing one now

yea I recovered like 2 dozen of those intact

I still cant seem to find the singularity device. I need it to make the last airplane. I am researching the final mission and its the last research available. Shot down and cleared many carriers and battleships

My experience has been is that rifles are kind of useless. They are ok at medium and serviceable at long range and poor at short range. I use snipers, heavies and shotgunners. Nothing kills an alien like a soldier that runs right up in the face of an alien and shotguns it in the face for 3 hits. And it only takes 18-22 time units. And you get the modifier where the alien doesn't get to reaction fire. Try that with a rifle. They get to reaction fire. And the cost of the 3 round burst of the rifle is like 55 time units. What's the point? Just my $0.02

hmm im going to try using my tank to run over an enemy

hmmm yea thats poor timing in the game. Fury, Sentinel, Mags should be given plenty of time to get manufactured and used well before the final mission comes up

No I didnt miss it, I am currently researching mag weapons. I just dont have it yet at the very end game. Also sentinel armour comes very late

by throwing 3 electro-shock grenades on him. I have 60 scientists and 60 engineers so Im researching at a good clip and just got the sentinel armour. I never did get the singularity/Fury interceptor. But the marauder can take down the biggest ship, the battleship so why would the fury be needed I dont know

The game over at that point? I mean, I dont even have mag weapons, the fury, and i just got sentinel armour. The game cant be almost over yet!

30 engineers in TOTAL isnt enough. At least 45. I have 60 engs and 60 scientists but had 45 at the point you are at.

I wish you could use your dropships to move personnel.

yes I wish that was possible. And maybe put a couple hardpoints on the Valkyrie so its not helpless

yes I have plasma bolts and it cant one shot a sibellion or one of those reapers that run up and turn you into a monster thingys. so can you repair them at the base like you can an airplane?
