silencer Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 That is the question. It is October - second month. I have Terror Mission... Charlie is on it's way, but before reaching it's destination a Medium UFO is spotted on the crime scene.... So I thought maybe I could get daily double and score both UFO and Terror Mission. (BTW I am playing on Veteran). At first I thought what could happen then I saw this green cyber thingy - but full rounds of M60 (or whatever that HMG is) put him down so I wasn't scared anymore - even that big white thing fell to shotguns and M-16. So yeah after a while I managed to kill all the Corvette crew and stopped the terror mission too as it seems. That brings me to question. Should I be able to do that? I mean I got more money and better score after dealing with that UFO rather than going crazy with terror mission. Shouldn't those escort fighters engage my Charlie to protect the corvette? Or maybe those aliens should rip my troops to pieces without a flinch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeerz Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I do think that those escort fighters should engage your Charlie, both on missions outside of cities where ufos with escorts land, as well as terror missions where the same thing happens. Anyway, I've seen the same thing you have: Medium UFO landing near the terror site. I think that is actually a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you think this is a bug - please move it to proper place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Bit of a loss as to whether this is a bug or not. Last time I tried intercepting the UFO causing the site (couple builds ago) it loaded the terror mission anyways. Now, it loads the actual ship assault.

silencer Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well I guess that either make escorts intercept transport carrier or make terror ship undetectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranak Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well I guess that either make escorts intercept transport carrier or make terror ship undetectable. The problem with allowing the terror ship's escorts attack your transport is that the transports have much longer ranges than interceptors, so you would be unable to respond to further away terror missions. Terror missions are hard enough, it would be overkill to make you automatically fail a large portion of them simply because of where they spawn. I think terror ships should remain interceptable, however they probably shouldn't create both a landed ship and a terror site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The terror ship should deliver the troops to the city then leave. Either escaping to space as an escaped UFO does when leaving air combat or simply flying away to cause events in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I had wondered about that in previous builds. I'd always just got the terror mission. I agree with Gauddlike that it should just take off. Probably quickly enough not to get intercepted? Otherwise you could have a ship mission, but have to be aware that it will have a skeleton crew as it's just dropped everyone else off.

svidangel Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yeah, haven't really had any terror missions on account of intercepting those mediums. Expecting that to change a little in december. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrian Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 If it wasnt for intercepting the terror ships instead of the starting the terror mission half the time I wouldnt get the tech I need to advance my research. Imo its a great feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
