MisterLock Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 So continuing the cicle...I'm in the third month,didn't get enough UFO's early on to get a power source or alenium.From some wierd reason I got an extremely advanced terror mission...With androns,the sniper dudes and everything.From that mission I got all kind of advanced alien weapons:Cannons,Heavy Rifles,Sniper Plasma.I started researching those then later on I jumped directly to Plasma by doing that.One of the problems I have is that it's hard to keep air superiority with only 1 Mig with standard missle's and 3 F-17,still standard. My question is...Is there anyway of pulling out of this?My soldiers are getting eaten up in all these terror mission's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm afraid not. And... which version are you playing? This was a problem with earlier versions, which was ameliorated with the latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusherven Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I guess all I can say is try to get alenium explosives asap and try to take advantage of the advanced weapons. I had one game that went somewhat similar, except in my case the terror mission vs androns was a 1-off and most of the other missions were more what you'd expect. Terror missions seem too common to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterLock Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 The problem is I just don't seem to find any alenium on any ship I take down...I didn't get it from the light scouts and neither from the corvetter's I downed.Just gonna have to check tommorow with my soldier's on they're way to a landing ship...

Sathra Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If you're at landing ships you won't be able to get Alenium. The new build + hotfix should have greatly reduced the chance for power sources to explode (get them from Corvettes + Scouts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterLock Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Well I downed two corvettes...No power source I think i'm getting very unlucky And Scouts seems no never come by anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Very unlucky. Though if you want to cheat you can reload a save before you reach the crashsite, and then just keep engaging it till its Minor damage instead of Severe. It won't show up as a power source in the mission end screen until after you've captured one. Before then it'll just say "Alenium". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterLock Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Might Do that...But does a landing ship yeild alenium and a power source? Also...Are the new aircraft,vehicles in the game yet?Third question...How do I find the alien base... I saw some discussion and in earlier versions...it seems like it just popped up...now?

Sathra Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think Landing ships and higher only provide alenium after you have actually researched alenium. They don't have Power Sources since they use a different type of engine. The later aircraft and vehicles, at least the aircraft are, not so sure if all the vehicles are in yet. They all need Alenium research though. Not sure about bases. I think there's a small chance every so often for one to show up, or you can detect them with aircraft. I usually find them trying to attack alien ships on supply or base-building missions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterLock Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Then If in one month ingame I can't find any alenium or a powersource it's bassicly restart time...no? Also explain to me more about this method of scouting the land for them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreySciTe Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Reminds me of TFTD where you have to get a live Ungetüm Terrorist (i don't know the english name. The one spitting green stuff and you need for aquaplastic armor) to get psionic stuff and later that alien won't appear anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterLock Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Didn't play Terror From the Deep...Ufo Defense was cool though Also isn't the stun rocket in v 18.3? Edited May 7, 2013 by MisterLock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think Scouts show up into the second month too, and there's always Corvettes. Deep One is the name for the TFTD terrorist. Yep, the stun rocket is in the most recent version of HF2 for v18.3. Should be in 18.4 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusherven Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think Landing ships and higher only provide alenium after you have actually researched alenium. They don't have Power Sources since they use a different type of engine. Wow. That kinda needs to change, imo. At least as far as the research requirements are concerned.

Sathra Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I fixed it in my little mod for v18.4, but I'm not actually sure if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
