Darth Draken Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I just had a thought. If the aliens came with a fleet. Far from their starting location does that mean they have a set number of ships. Could it be possible for the aliens to run out of one type of craft if i was to shoot down enough. If i was to spend game years fighting the invasion. Could i in theory shood down all of their bombers. Resulting in them running out. Or do they have the means to build more from orbit????? I do have the home defence advantage of a planets resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The lore says there are somewhere around 3000 ships in their fleet, it doesn't say how many of each size class though. I imagine that doesn't include the very small vessels like fighters or bombers though as they would likely have been carried by another ship.

Max_Caine Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The point of the game is that we're not suposed to be able to fight off the invasion through strength of arms. The aliens are supposed to have the numbers to beat everyone given sufficent time. The Xenonauts are racing against time to find a solution before everything goes bleugh.

Darth Draken Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Or until the battleships and dreds start creating parking space. So i take it all the xeno researchable craft are now added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Well, if you wanted to take on the task of adding a new UFO, there were 2 ufos which were cut because they didn't have a good fit or the time to implement them. Have a look at /assets/aircraft/ufos/ to see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ventuswings Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Dreadnought I really wish they kept it as some sort of unassailable, undefeatable UFO that starts to appear once in a while if player stalls for way too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranak Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The lore actually explains exactly why that isn't possible. Clickly the spoiler if you want to know why. This fleet is only a tiny fraction of the alien's power. They can easily send more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 No need for fleet limits as long as there's enough ammo to go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
