BurnThemALL Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 You need to research and produce your own ships after development of the Dimension Probe. For this you have to capture alien ships (shoot em down before) and research them. Almost all types of alien crafts are important! Good luck!

Alien-busta Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Yeah, I've done all of that... including the dimension probe and i've only gotten the 6th 7th 8th 9th and 10th ufos... is that a problem??? should I have gotten #s 1 2 3 4 and 5?? At the beginning, I didn't know how to capture and research ufos before a while ago :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prep Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Don't worry too much, you may have quite a hard time ahead of you (depending on difficulty) but basically your going to have to hold out for quite some time, and start downing their high end ships with mainly phonixes really (if you can get them shields they should do better then hawks for the cost). After a while of keeping the big alien ships in check you should find the smaller ones coming through as wel. Just don't let Marsec get angry at you or you will end up with an army of probes Which I think are better then phonixes unless you have shields so use them till you have shields). Just stay alive.

Cpl. Facehugger Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 You need alien transports (purple, type 3), assault ships (look like a vibrator) type 6, destroyers (like a pancake, type 7) and Battleships (you'l know it when you see it) Transports give biotrans, assault ships explorers, destroyers retailators, and battleships give you annhilators. You may want to consider restarting your game and making sure that you nab one of each of the type I mentioned, because I once had to wait a game year(!) before the small ships appeared again.

Prep Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 hmm.. a whole year? I'm playing super human and in the early game I was doing pretty bad missed the troop carrier but managed to recover towards the end and shot down a load of 7s-10s and within a month they were sending troop carriers and probes at me again.

Cpl. Facehugger Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 It was only once, and probably due to the fact that I was scared of shooting down battleships... I wish ufos landed like in the other games... :sigh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsereve Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Is there a way to control shooting down ships vs. destroying them? I keep destroying the assault ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Dojo 58 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 (edited) Absolutely. Use smaller guns and fewer ships. When alien ships get critically low on health, they will fall. If you still have a bunch of shots going at the UFO, you can end up destroying it as it falls. As a simple rule, don't use medium disruptors on class 4 and smaller. Don't use plasma or missiles on class 1+2. Use heavy disruptors only on the battleships and large purple escorts. When a UFO is almost ready to crash, disengage most of your craft, or disable the bigger guns on them.
