Rob Beaux Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 I just started by second game using the XP adjusted file. Played long ago when the game first came out. For the second time I cant seem to get to research aqua plastics. Am i missing something. Shows up in my sell/sack screen so i know i have it. I dont have any links to the faq and it appears the ones I do have are dead. Any help is appreciated, especially since in one game i caputured a Live deep one in January and had the MC lab built and training people by the end of Feb. Game was going too good knew somethign was bound to happen. Any help other than cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglachel Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 I'd have to dig out my GameFAQ's print out I got because I was having problems too with research. If I remember correctley, I think you needed to research a deep one corpse to get the option for aqua plastics. There is a strange order to research. Ahh... my research cheat sheet. Yep, Deep One Corpse should give it to you, at least that is how I got it. If not, there might be a bug like the Tasoth Commander thing, research it and some weird thing happens to ...uhhh... I don't remember what (which there is no Tasoth Commander from what I know). So if you researched a live Deep One, that might have messed things up. Any info I found on research said you needed to watch the order you did it in or some items will not be available. Hope this helped, if not someone else might know.

Rob Beaux Posted June 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 OK went back to both of the old save games... The FAQ that i found was wrong. You need the Deep one corpse for the aqua plastics and the deep one alive for the MC lab. I sort of like that idea. It makes the terror sites more important for the research tree. If you do the dust off trick to lessen the points lost you dont get the needed alien. My solution was to go in and find a deep one in a terror misssion. Kill it and throw it on board then find another one and stun it. I got lucky had two next to each other. Killed the first then i ran over and stunned it. Thre the bodies to my fire bucket brigade of men--got bodies loaded in 2 turns then i reloaded my guys... go tout of there with only 2 guys getting killed. Got a score of -100 due to the aliens i killed on the way to get the deep ones. Probably should have finished the mission but i wanted to get in and not lose too many guys. Sp now i got both the armour and the MC lab..gonna be a cake walk until the lobsters show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge_Deadd Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Killed the first then i ran over and stunned it. You stunned a dead alien??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Beaux Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 opps... should have read killed the first one then ran over and stunned teh second deep one. Sorry about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 A calcinite will give you the MC lab research ability also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Any live terrorist gives you MC Lab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Live Deep Ones give you Ion armor right? I am having serious trouble getting to research Ion Armor. I think the tech tree is messed up and im never going to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SortYa Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Yeah, I was having issues getting Ion Armour too. If you research live deep one too early, i think it screws it up. I started a new game, and made sure I had Plastic Aqua armour, then researched Ion Beam Accelerators, and THEN live deep one and it worked fine. Got MC lab at the same time (after researching the live deep one) cause it was the first terrorist i had researched alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 dead deep one research allows aqua plastic research. live deep ones+ion accelerator=ion armor live deep one+ion accel+Magnetic navigation= Mag Ion Armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 i had same problems but it's easy to solve...just research another Deep One and you'll be able to research Ion Armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
