stx Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I don't know if this is a bug or a feature by design. I have two bases, one in Northern Africa and a second in USA, and a terror mission starts in ChristChurch. No matter how I try, I cannot arrive in New Zealand with a Chinhook. Even from my nearest base (USA), the Chinhook goes back to the base in the middle of the Pacific. It's not a time problem. I just do not have enough fuel to get to New Zealand. I do not know if this is a bug or not. In X-Com terror mission sites could always be reached. I think that the Xenonauts engine should spawn terror missions not too far away from the bases, so that it is possible to reach them with a Chinhook with 100% fuel. See the screenshots below: In the previous screenshot the target site name is also clipped. Christchurch is too long to fit in the textbox. Here is also the save file. I used an external free file hosting service to post the file. I've never used it before, so I do not know if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hahaha I can't believe there is acctually a city called christchurch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 It's one of the largest cities in New Zealand. But essentially you need more bases if you want to be able to defend the whole world. The aliens aren't just going to send their UFOs into the areas you have defended. The Chinook has a slightly enhanced range in the new build but without a base in south asia you shouldn't have any chance of being able to defend Australasia. @Gorlom - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman,_Turkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stx Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'm not suggesting that it must be easy to reach terror sites. I liked the way it worked in the first XCOM. Sometimes I had to rush to the terror site, often interrupting what I was doing. Sometimes the time window available to get to a terror site location was more or less around one hour. Sometimes if I waited just a little longer before sending a dropship to the site, the terror site simply disappeared, and a big penalty was added. I never had a situation where I could not get to the terror site due to its distance. On another side, I wasn't even sure this was a bug (as I wrote in the first post of the thread). I mean, Xenonauts is a different game, so different rules apply. I think that in the first months of the invasione it is simply not possible to cover all the world, so these situations can and will happen.

erutan Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I think it makes the game a bit stronger... there are things beyond your control that will slip through the cracks, and finally getting that coverage will be sweeter. It can also emphasize scavenging manufacturing mats to get cash for buildings vs sitting back and upgrading gear/etc at your convenience. That is a pretty forlorn screenshot though.

Gorlom Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) @Gorlom - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman,_Turkey There is also the town made famous by Jackass: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mianus I think theres a few funny ones in scandinavia as well but that's in scandinavian languages and I don't recall what they are atm. I think there is one named hell or something (dunno if that one is in English) which is very funny when it and the sign is covered in snow in the winter. At least if you consider the phrase "when hell freezes over" or "snowballs chance in hell". Found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Norway (I particularly like the shop sign in the article) And apparantly there are a few in the US as well.

shuuk Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 hmm i think in xcom you can arrive every spot from any base? Give the chinhook a bit more fuel and everything is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 But, the idea is that not being able to reache everywhere forces you to base build. In my experience of XN, it does so. It was one of those "Oh" moments when it happened, but now I know I can't get everywhere, I'm thinking more about other base locations etc. Besides, if your current Chinook could get everywhere, what would it's advanced counterpart further down the research tree do? besides better armour, more speed and tackling the aliens in their own base, I mean :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also makes a great wedding chapel or so I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amiga4ever Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Maybe researching allenium fuel for chinook will be a good idea to improve range Edited May 7, 2012 by Amiga4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 That sounds... like very expensive fuel. A waste of alenium imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amiga4ever Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 In XCOM every aircraft used ellerium and it wasnt a problem. For example 5 allenium= 100% fuel. Sooner or laterplanes will use allenium fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
