The_Mess Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Any chance this can be increased (or anyone knows how to mod it...)? I've seen a few land but usually they're to far away to send a chinook to hit them on the ground in terms of the time frame it takes to travel there.

The whole long range transport issue is still not settled yet as far as I know. That could also have a big impact on this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterArmadillo Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I normally setup multiple bases as early as possible so I can take on as much as possible, I found this to be the best stategy in the original game. I hope like The_Mess wants that this is editable and still editable in the final release, an invasion should/could mean mulitple landings accross the globe, ufo's everywhere, not quite like the firaxis concept where action can be few and far between. Days since last sighting: 88, lets get drunk and play cards men (soldiers of mixed sex) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Mess Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm still learning the ropes of air combat (to kill off heavy fighters) so I haven't yet been able to get far enough to expand to more than 2 bases (so. damn. expensive.). Might end up modding the ticker though so heavy fighters don't spawn until I have a chance to get better weapon systems. @Armadillo - part of that ties into the XCOM game story, which isn't revealed until the end missions with the Etheral's exposition bits, particularly surrounding the squadie you send into the Gollop Chamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterArmadillo Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I aint too hot on air combat either yet, keep gettin me migs shot down and that slows my progress but before all my bases are fully fuctional (normally 3 or 4) I hit a crash bug and it kills my game, gonna try the work around soon and have another go. To save migs I am currently just ignoring ufo's with escorts, I say currently I dont have it installed atm but will again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
