[1.63 Stable - Alien missoins] Terror site by non-siteable vessel

[Frankenshtine]

Sometime alient make some terror on our planet. Hilarious when this is done by non-crew vessel like a bomber or strike cruiser. You have a site without of site and instead of ground combat (terror mission) you only get a saucer hovering in a fixed place waiting for you to send some interceptors beat it from a sky. There vessels must be banned from terror missions ship type list.

Can't find a spoiler function to hide screenshot.

This is not a bug unless the game tries to load ground combat. Aerial terror sites (as indicated in the box) are an intentional feature.

That is a Strike cruiser (on screenshot above) and after sending two Marauders to get it out of sky no crash site or normal ground terror mission spawns. I just got some allenium and alloys. This was second time in this gamerun (first time it was bomber). Only once I got a real terror mission.

This is an Aerial terror site. You just need to shoot down the ufo itself.

Ah, this is not a bug. http://xenonauts.wikia.com/wiki/Terror_Mission_(Bombing_Run)

As a sidenote, there are two kinds of cruiser. Strike Cruisers do not generate crash sites. This thread will now be locked.

Yeah, Aerial Terror Sites and Terror Sites are different things - only the latter actually causes a combat mission.
