A question about alien drops.

Generally I find drops are at their strongest the very moment they are beamed in. The infiltration that hits the outlying areas around the drop site fester a bit over a time and then dies off. If left too long, then the alerts are made, which is not good.

 

The editor I think probably only deposits a fixed strength/number of aliens. The game's drops will most probably be altered by difficulty, the size of the crew being dropped by the UFO and perhaps time.

I suspect that it has something to do with how long the drop last. It may send aliens in portions, one portion being defined as the drop in Apoc'd.

 

I dunno, did you wait until there was an alert raised? If you wait the aliens reproduce and you fight more aliens when you finally arrive to clear them out.

I usually conduct ground assaults just after taking care of the UFOs.
