I think I've had my first terror event, but I can't get there. I was tailing a UFO (ok, chasing a UFO in a jet too slow to catch it) which disappeared from radar somewhere over Greenland. An event, also in Greenland, triggered stating that a "UFO (was) observed by military aircraft" and that "intervention by local Xenonaut forces" was awaited. Greenland happens to be outside my radar range and I can't seem to select it for interception. I click the "intercept" button and am prompted for a target location. Double-clicking in the vicinity of the event doesn't pop the aircraft assignment dialog like clicking within my radar coverage area does. Is that the way it's supposed to be? They're only Greenlanders, but still...

I would like to have goverment bot-planes making a sufficient aircover in the early game. Let's say you have a base in Germany. During first year you would intercept 70% of alien activities in Europe. Then ai would be able to intercept 30% of alien activities in Notrth America, 15% in the South America and 12% in Africa. Next year goverment intercept effeciency would drop 5-10% but by that time xenonauts would be able to react better. Also there could be some events with certain countries stopping to contribute aircover over less developed countries to concetrate on self defece (i presume major countries try to defend entire humanity at first). --- Goverment should try to capture or nuke some landed ufos. I.e. it should not happen often. Lets say USA should have a 5% chance to try to capture/nuke landed ufo on it's territory and 30% chance if it was shot down by US air force. Many US soldiers would die so the mission score would be a little negative on most of occasions. There could be a lot of factors affecting Goverment will to treat ufo on itself: 1. Xenonauts score 2. Xenonauts score in the region 3. Was ufo intercepted by xcom or goverment 4. How long ufo is already on the ground 5. What was the score of this goverment during last try to capture ufo 6. UFO size (if ufo is big, and everybody suck then do not capture but nuke)
