Zrbite In Alien Aircrafts


Heat

Recommended Posts

I got a question abt zrbites. U get them mainly from alien ships mission n colony i think it was right? But i find that sometime su get more n other times less from say a small ship. Like i would go on a mission on a small ship n get 50 zrbite other times nothing. I ever got 200 zrbite from a very large ship b4 but get nothing in another time.

 

I heard that its cos the ship is damaged but often the ship only has 1 tiny hole but i would end up with 0 zrbite. Anybody know the deal?

It's for this reason that once I've shot down a USO I don't bother with a recovery mission. Unless it's still early in the game when capturing alien equipment is important. Later in the game, when you start needing more zrbite, try raiding fully intact ships. You'll get all the zrbite the ship is carrying.

As i said in another thread, the UFOs store their zirbite in their engines.

If u shot them down, the zirbite is destroyed.

If u attack an landed ufo, look fpr the engine: u will find there a yellow cricle, thats the zirbite.

 

Theres 1 alien ship (small class) which does NOT store its zirbite in the engines, but i dont remember the name.

I've found that you can get 50 Zrbite from most cruisers (very common, largest 1-floor ship) even after you shoot them down. Perhaps it's just limited to this vessel type, but cruisers are the main source of Zrbite in my current game. Just don't use explosives in the sub.
