double click on your base

highlight the people you want to put in your aircraft by clicking on thier name once,
then click and hold on one of the pictures of a 'highlighted name' and drag them across to the aircraft you want to put them in... then let go of your mouse button.

Hope that helps.

Ah yes another good tip:

If the Cult of Cirus starts getting cocky and demanding money - or threatening to atack you. Just raid them until there budget is in the minuses (eg -20 000), they wont be able to afford to attack you.

*The best way to get thier budget down is by sending in 1 single guy with 2 autocannons and filled to the brim with incidenairy ammo, incidenary grenades, high explosives and a hover suit if possible.hover up in the air, put your guns on auto fire and fire around randomly (laugh like a mental patient whilst you do it, it adds to the fun), setting as much of the building on fire and blowing up as much as possible. this causes alot of damage which they have to pay for :)*

How many vehicles for so few troops? One Valkyrie. And you can chuck in a couple more troops while you're at that.

Sorry about it being so damned dark, when I made it I had a 15 inch screen (quite old) that needed the Gamma set quite high in order for me to see anything :sos:
I really should have set the lighting up before I posted it.. but seeing as though I cant delete it and replace it there's no point.

Anyways I was just checking through the files on the apocalypse install cd and found a few guns I have never seen before in the game, they looked like really dangerous ones too. I did some reasearch and found out that microprose never really added some of the stuff they origonally planned.

Check : http://xcom.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/x3x9.shtml

GRRRRRRRR :titan:

I did however find that they left in the Psi-blockers by mistake (I have found them once but I dont think they work as I could still phycionically atack one of my own guys who was equiped with one, also it wouldnt say anything about them in the ufopedia) they still sell for alot though :ok:

The only way to get Psi-blockers is to Raid Marsec :whistling: and if you are lucky you will find one or two, be warned though - atacking marsec means they wont sell you stuff like thier armour,machine guns,pistols ect... and they counter atack pretty harshly too. I reccomend doing this towards the end of the game when you can make your own weapons and armour anyways.

I've never really tried Psi-blockers against aliens so if someone tries this tell me if it works or not :)

P.s pardon the really crappy spelling.

P.s.s the alien was not meant to be scary, it was a tribute to the Sectoid's in the 'Enemy unknown' series of the game - after all... I blew up so many of the poor buggers :ph34r: -> :titan:

Two words: Stun. Raids.

No retaliation, no hostilities, no nothing in fact.

So you are saying if I do the following

1:equip all my agents with stun rods
2:stun all the security in the building ***and they wont atack back****
3:WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! free stuff

actually im just interested in point number 2, they wont atack back? or am I gonna have to use loads of saves and take an hour to stun all the guards?

oh yeah and heres the fixed lighting version of the alien in all its glory - sorry for using server space and posting it twice - if the admin would kindly remove the last picture I would appreciate it :)

A tribute to all the sectiods I've blasted in Ufo 1 - it was the first alien I saw too :)
Made with the eye from Xcom apocalypse.

Stunned guards do not attack back.

Nor do mind-controlled guards as long as they do not get hurt under your mind-control. Be careful in stun-raids though, the guards do like playing throw the armed proxmine.
