[V17.9 - Ground Combat - Standalone] No alien at crash site

[Nalca]

After shooting a light scout and sending a chinook, there wasn't any alien on the map. No one, dead or alive.

Of course, that mean no alien weapon.

So i ended with 6 alien alloys. That cheap for a whole light scout

[thedjstu]

I am getting this repeatedly as well. 3 out of 4 crash sites had no aliens.

[kodamcity]

me too. i was shoot down scout but aliens didnt exist, continually 5 times more.

desura update version.

[radiorob]

Me too. No cash, no advance in game. New - old armor is very expensive: 50000$ (in 17.6 for free).

For me, this is new feature in Bugnauts . In 17.9 there is lot of new "feature". See the forum

I can confirm this bug as well regarding the small scout with no aliens missions

[Chris]

I thought I'd fixed this. In the missions you have played with the Light Scouts where aliens DO spawn, what race are they?

We were previously having an issue where Sebillian Light Scouts were spawning empty but the Caesan Light Scouts were spawning fine.

[Nalca]

I have only meet Caesan in light scout with alien.

[Amiga4ever]

My two first missions ended after first turn as well. No aliens just few alien alloys. Both missions on crash sites

[Lancebloke]

I have encountered both Caesian and Sibilan enemies when shooting down light scouts, however also experiencing the issue of no enemies and 6 alloys when it goes to mission completion screen.

[raziel1981]

Caesian for me

[thedjstu]

caesian

I, too, had this bug occuring starting with the second UFO shot down.

The first one was a Light Scout with Caesians on board, all follwing Light Scout UFO's did not yield any aliens. I then shot down a Scout UFO, which had Sebilian Guards in it, but the following Light Scout did, yet again, not have any crew.

This bug is both present in the Desura and Standalone version for me.

I've had both Caesan and Sebillian crash sites, all light scouts so far, and I've also had several light scouts show up without enemies. The no-shows have all been after some initial populated craft showed up. There hasn't been overlap in the two, meaning that initially there were aliens in all crashes, then something broke and there've been no aliens in all crashes. I didn't notice anything change between the two, besides the obvious "no aliens" bit. Unfortunately, I didn't note which crash site it was that marked the switch.

[Avid]

Likewise, there would no crew and the mission would finish after the first turn given to the aliens.

[GizmoGomez]

I finally had a regular scout show up. I shot it down with two condors, no casualties on my part (is it weird that I'm super stoked about that? I didn't have MiGs yet, and was expecting to lose at least one plane, based on past experience).

Anyway, there were aliens there, Caesans, so perhaps the issue is localized to light scouts.

[Orangehat44]

First ufo was intercepted and was caesian, next three ufo's i have shot down drop ship lands move men first turn hit end turn and debreif screen. 5-6 alloy and thats it, so cant tell what the ones that arnt spawning aliens are.

[Zanfib]

I am also experiencing this problem. Same symptoms as everyone else.

[Hairyscreech]

Looks like I am getting this as well, caesian scout was just fine and all the others have been empty.

[BaxterRicketts]

The first three light scouts I shot down (Two Caesians, and a Sebillian) had enemies to fight at the crash-site. Then I researched the Foxtrot and Hunter and went on to shoot down another three Light Scouts, but all of them were turn-one victories like everybody else'.

[PRiME]

I have had like 5 Light Scout missions in a row with this issue. The ones that did have Aliens were mostly Caesian if I remember correctly.

[xcom]

I have had more than 10 no-alien missions so far. The very few in which there were aliens had Caesians or Sebillians.
