Heat Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 If the power source is destroyed the Zrbite is gone, other than that I don't knwo what gives the fluctuating amounts you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heat Posted September 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hmm power source as in the ion beam accelerator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienKiller Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heat Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Ahh ic... ya i found most of the time shot down ships lose their iba so no zrbite. Intact ships r hard to come by tho late game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckoner Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 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.
