LeftyRighty Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 This one is confusing me... is there any point to keeping the alien grenades and plasma clips? The bodies are automatically destroyed, the new tech goes to the labs and the rest is sold, but these two get put into the stores.... and sit there until I sell them. Is there something I'm missing with these? they can't be assigned to a trooper, they don't appear to be a component in building anything. So why?

GoodGuyEddy Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Does "the game is in alpha an not all features are implemented yet" ring a bell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyRighty Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 could retort with something about making assumptions... is it a bug or is it incomplete? don't know, ask question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The answer is: no one but Chris knows. Its possible we get to use the alien grenades once they are researchable. The plasma clips have probably just been overlooked. (or human plasma weapons will later be designed to accommodate the alien clips?)

Gauddlike Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Or maybe both items contain Alenium and you will be able to process them to remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGuyEddy Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Chris mentioned that later on, your scientists could extract alenium from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Mother Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Also, you can use them if you pick them up during ground combat, but for some reason they are not stored in the stores thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyRighty Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 huh? The description on the research for the alien plasma weapons says you can use them when you pick them up, but not well. You should be able to see them in the stores screen (where you sell/transfer stuff) back at base. But they don't (and I think shouldn't by design) appear in the options when equipping your soldiers. Were you referring to the soldier equipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 You shouldn't be able to see alien weapons in the stores at all because they should be auto sold at the end of the ground mission. The exceptions are items that can be used in manufacturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you referring to the soldier equipping? You could pick them up during ground combat and use them only for that battle, you lose the weapon once the craft is secured and it is auto sold. Also the only thing that appears in stores are Plasma Clips, but not the weapons themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosi Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Random question animal mother. are you the same animal mother from system wars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullshaz Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 You get to research Alien Grenades, I assumed you got to use them after that, but I could be wrong, I didn't try. My game CTD shortly after performing that research, and corrupted all the saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Mother Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Random question animal mother. are you the same animal mother from system wars? No, I've never used them. I decided to use Animal Mother because I am a fan of Adam Baldwin, and from the looks of things, not the only one (I usually have to put numbers in with the username because the original had been used up) Also just a thought, does Energy Cells use Alenium or Alloys to manufacture? Perhaps with minimal staff you could convert Plasma Clips into energy cells for less material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Regarding the alien handgrenades. Am I the only one who experience that the grenades now doesn't sell for anything as in zero $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyRighty Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 theres a bug report for that... flares (given free on night missions) are selling for 1000 and alien grenades for 0... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRiME Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It says in the research notes soldiers can use the alien weapons. Clearly its not implemented just yet for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I haven't actually tried picking them up in combat to use them. I usually have enough ammo so they aren't needed. I don't mind if they are auto sold but I imagine there will be a mod shortly after release that allows you to keep and equip them as other weapons.
