GreySciTe Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 A tought that came to my head was that it could be fun to have defense/rescue missions after a chinook has been shot down. Such a mission should occur when your escort does fail to kill the attacking alien fighters, but distracted them long enough to get the chinook some time to emergency land/crash. You then have to defend the aliens which will come to finish the job. Another reason why i came to this idea is because at the moment an escort can be easily outgunned by alien attackers and loosing all your men is quite hard. Perhaps i just don't have the right strategy. Also i think it should be possible to send an escort with the C-17 transport machine. In later game stages alien ships pop up about every 2 hours and the transport of equipment to another base takes ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Your troops do have a chance to survive the Chinook crash at the moment, as long as they are over land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordobb Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Actually i will affirm that nobody dies, or chances are very high to survive. Been shot down 3 time last night nobody died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sounds like you were lucky, or the system doesn't work properly yet.

Mordobb Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I m usually never lucky... i m worried i may have wasted my luck in such irrelevent place. Joking apart, i think its more probable the system doesn t eliminate the dead soldiers from your base list, so they continue to exist and fight... (let me kid a bit.) unless they fight as the zombie that appear on the Soldiers UI, that would explain much ...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Lol we finally find out why they look so upset all the time. Private Jenkins died four weeks ago but human resources haven't got round to taking him off the books yet so he has to remain in his bunk until they do.

thothkins Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Private Jenkins died four weeks ago but human resources haven't got round to taking him off the books yet so he has to remain in his bunk until they do. Yes, Private Jenkins died in a terrible nasal accident. How does he smell?

thothkins Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 My mother in law visited the Xenonaut bunker the other day, where I was hiding from her. In the face of deadly alien invasion, she said she'd want to be cremated. I said, "Hang on a minute, and I'll fetch my Flammerwerfer."
