Darth Draken Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I was wondering if i was to send two transports to the same mission and complete half the ground mission could i withdraw my first group of troops and land my second set of troops? Quote
cody522 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 So you mean two transports not in a squadron making runs? I think the mission might fail when the first transport leaves, I don't know though I never had to run away in one. I know terror missions fail as as soon as you leave. Quote
Max_Caine Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah, if you abort the mission it fails and the downed UFO vanishes. Quote
cody522 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 So what happens when you do send two transports with soldiers in a squadron to a crashsite? Do you get more soldiers in the mission? Quote
Max_Caine Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 You probably get a crash - never tried it myself, but the maps can only accomodate one dropship. Quote
Commissar Pancakes Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 It'd definitely improve chances of succeeding a grounded battleship if it spawns two dropships. Quote
Jasmine Moldovia Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Honestly I think you should get two drop-ships and double troops... or if not two drop ships, spawn one set of troops next to the ship and the other inside, say one landed unloaded, and took off. But you should be able to bring as many drop-ships (Soldiers) as you want/can support. Quote
thothkins Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 But then, why wouldn't the aliens just get to send reinforcements and then it just escalates. There may be balance issues in surviving the larger ships, but I'm not sure bringing more and more troops is the answer to it. Quote
little_me Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 What? wasn't it age old strategy of Xcom to send troops out one after another through the doorway to get shot in the head. Sooner or later the alien would have empty clip... Quote
thothkins Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I prefer it to be a little better than having Xenonauts able to use all their resources, while an alien armada sits in orbit and does nothing. Besides, we have a Commissar if we want endless rookies shot in the head going through a doorway. Quote
Commissar Pancakes Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 It's not my fault that they jump every time I fire a shot over their head to inspire them forwards. They deserved it for being unprepared for the battlefield. Quote
thothkins Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Absolutely. You are saving the rest of us from their incompetence in the same way that shooting us saves them from our incompetence. Quote

Commissar Pancakes Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 *Shoots Commissar Stalin for being a paranoid twat* Quote
a333 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 "Pancakes, i'm your father." — last words of the Commissar Stalin before death. Quote
Commissar Pancakes Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Fool! *Shoots corpse for being a paranoid lying twat* Pancakes have no father. Quote
a333 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 And thus the Commissar walked away, leaving the corpse behind. He dealt with the problem the only way he could accept, and nothing in this world, be it gods or demons, could change his mind. And those OUT of this world, which can, were buried deep down in his syrup soul. Something he couldn't overlook with his steel-cold eyes, something common between him and that man. Something about the way one should deal with his problems. Commissar kept this knowledge. He knew the corpses couldn't lie. Quote
