sixgunninja Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I know that I need to keep Alenium to make higher-tier weapons, but what about the Alien weapons, ammo and alloys? Are those things I can sell without worry or are they needed for something else later too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturius Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 In the demo you can sell them off. In the final version I guess alien alloys will be used to make advanced vehicles and other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stromko Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Alien alloys will obviously be extremely useful for body armor and a host of other things, and it sounds like plasma clips might not be differentiated by weapon type so they might be useful to (I don't know if they'll work in reverse-engineered human plasma weapons though). It might be possible later on to make alien alloys, I don't know. I haven't seen anything you can actually make out of alien alloys in the demo build, however. I've ended up researching everything available, including the post-powerplant alien alloy research, but never got the option to make body armor, and there was no option to make lasers after I researched plasma rifles.

Commissar Pancakes Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Duplicate alien artifacts are automatically sold off for profit. This is because, unlike in X-COM, solders can't use Alien Weaponry and must reverse-engineer them into human-usable versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stromko Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 It seems a little strange, that they don't just keep the weapons and hotglue on iron-sights and a way to pull the ammo out so they can reload it. It's fine though, and it shows they aren't slavishly devoted to the parts of X-Com that don't matter. Considering how many things are automatically sold off, I suspect everything that you manually sell must be useful later (or as an emergency reach fund to get that replacement fighter you needed yesterday). Except I'm pretty sure you can just sell flares for a profit, I think they're kind of a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
