with the ET patch the geoscape time is corrected, but the subs movement is very choppy..

how can i fix this, 90% of evry sub gets away from me and i end up getting terrible scores bcus im not able to manage the geoscape with the choppy jerkiness.

Just finished ufo and moving on to tftd. Whats the best patch or util to use with most bugfixes and stuff. and whats with the jumpy subs in geoscape with the ET patch, it wasnt like that in UFO. Is that just my computer or is it like that for evryone? Suddenly the subs are half way around the globe in a split second.

figured it out, just had to research alien origins phew, i thought i wasted the whole time playing and not being able to finish cus of a bug or something

hmm what the heck, i got a floater commander and already researched a sectoid leader why do i not get The Martian Solution and Cydonia or Bust does it matter what order you do it in and do you need to research/build anything else?

that helped alot. but one thing im unsure about is the amount of soldiers needed. as it is now i have: 3 scouts(motion sensor, laser pistol) with lots of reaction/turns/accuracy/bravery 2 snipers(atm rifles and small launcher, giving them a better rifle later) 4 troopers(grenades, laser rifles) 2 heavy(rocket launchers) 3 alien hamburgers i dont care if die to scout and take crossfire thats a fully loaded skyranger. But for later in the game, how many strike teams should you have. and how many really good soldiers is necesarry.. im playing with no reloads so alot of my troops die. oh and one more thing how do you know where to patrol with your crafts to find bases.

yea sorry, im talking about UFO.. i confused ships with subs the other 2 bases are basicly just radar and interceptor bases so far. im a beginner so i dont really know what im doing. should i recruit alot of soldiers and get another skyranger or just stick with 1 strike force until i get researched new crafts?

why am i only seeing Very large and large subs in the start of February on beginner mode? i have hardly any chanse to take them down. does that mean there is an alien base somewhere? if so, how do i find it. i only have 1x large radar at each base. europe, north america and china.

actually i could just send the interceptor to a waypoint, wait 1 second and have it return to base and it will rearm.. heh, oh well that works.

very lame, it seams that it cannot rearm if there are no more ammo at the base when it returns back from a mission. you have to use the remaining ammo even if there is just 1 left before it can rearm itselfe next time it arrives at the base.. you risk losing your interceptors that way

i send out a interceptor and when it returns it doesnt reload new rockets even though i have several at the base. bug? edit: actually i had no more rockets at the base. i had 3 avalanche rockets in the interceptor. i sent it to attack a sub and it destroyed it with 1 missile. i then purchased more rockets and the game says i dont have enough rounds to rearm. When i recieve more rockets, it doesnt rearm the launcher but just remains with 2 rockets.. whats up with that

Damn that was to easy, reloaded a few times but still.. Whats The Martian Solution good for? Alien Soldier ----- mission (harvest, base, etc) Alien Medic ----- Species information * Alien Navigator ----- Hyper-Wave Decoder Alien Engineer ----- UFO stats (of that UFO) Alien Leader ----- The Martian Solution Ethereal/ Sectoid Leader ----- Psi Lab, which leads to or command psi amp and mind shield Alien Commander ----- Cydonia or Bust ** * alien medics can give information on species other than their own ** commander can be found in bases, or UFOs on Base missions Do i have to research a tech tree of aliens in order to get the stuff? Or can i research any alien and get the info required as soon as you have one.

i just started playing this game again a few days ago, restarted a couple of times and now im about to start a mission on a battleship crash site with only 14 guys, 6 guys with rifle, 3 scouts with laser pistols and motion scanners, 2 heavy guys both with rocket launchers and large rockets, and 3 "fodders" downed it with 2x interceptors both with avalanche rockets. you think i have any chanse at all? i kinda promised myselfe i wouldnt reload in battles, its on beginner. Havent played this game in like 10 years and never got far, wish me luck

where can i find navigators and sectoid leaders?

why does it say Gold Edition on the taskbar icon when i minimize the game and not Collectors Edition.. i downloaded the game from the pinned CE link
