Gauddlike Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Why not? They arrived and decided they needed a closer look so made the adjustments they needed to in order to go kidnap some rednecks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Was it a scout? I thought it said battleship in the iceland report? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPyro Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Was it a scout? I thought it said battleship in the iceland report? It was described as being the size of an Earth battleship, which means it was probably heavier than a scout, but not necessarily one of their battleships. There's no indication in the Iceland Incident report that the UFO was particularly maneuverable; it wiped out the attacking fighters with sheer firepower rather than dogfighting, which would be possible if it just had a large attack arc. It might be that the fact that their first attempt was shot down was what stopped them and made them realise that they might need aerial superiority before continuing.

anotherdevil Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 but it was shooting at 1950s jets... not the most developed technology back then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 All the more reason for them to arrive and realise our tech had moved on to make us more of a threat. Maybe they had better make an effort this time and actually make some alterations to their ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Bus Rodan Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I don't care how they got here. All I know is how they're leaving - in body bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Surely that would mean they were staying? Body bags are not normally aerodynamic or have enough thrust to leave the atmosphere. Hmm maybe that should be a new type of research? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Maybe they are very American in their way of handeling their dead? "Leave no man behind" and shipping everything back to planet of origin in body bags instead of burial cerimonies on the soil they died.

Gauddlike Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 But he didn't say some of them were leaving in body bags so I assumed he meant all of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 The ones still alive use bodybags to decive the humans into thinking they are dead. Obviously =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Then the point still stands. How do the bodybags get off the planet if all of the aliens are inside them? And more importantly, does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 They made eye holes so they could pilot their ships while wearing a bodybag. I didn't say the live aliens would be still while in their bodybags. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I just assumed that at the end of the game Xenonauts would shoot them out (in their body bags) back towards their homeworlds as a warning to never try that again. I mean you have to do something with all that money you have left over at the end of the game right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoIdidnt Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 nice. heh! that would be an awesome cinematic for the end game, thousands of body bags pelting their home world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 and the red (?) splats as they impact the ground (must be body bags that can survive re-entry into atmosphere I guess =p) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinetree Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I believe that the Aliens have invaded because Humans are considered an intergalactic delicacy and a loose conglomerate of Alien Harvesting companys has had a quota system imposed on them in order not to squander us tasty Humans. Obviously there is inherant danger in this as most food isnt armed with bazookas and machineguns.The ultimate goal of Xenonauts is to kill enough Aliens to eventually submit a very strongly worded letter to the intergalactic government concerning the morality and health issues involved with the consumption of Humans.Very much like the international lobby on the Japanese hunting of Whales.

Chollirem Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think they saw some anime alien/tentacle pron broadcast and though this was a resort planet...only to get shot by the first girl they tried to "ravage" who knew it would start a war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWP Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Yes, that seems like a reasonable version. But don't forget that they are trillions of years ahead of us! Surely it must reflect their social order. And since you don't find any wallets, bills or even credit cards on alien bodies, there is but one logical conclusion: they have advanced to Communism. So I think these invasions are just part of the outdoor activities in their Young Pioneer Camps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
