If possible, I tell a bomb to circle and hit a Sectopod from behind (since there is less armor there). So usually one shot = one kill.

Actually it has no effect, since HE damage is dealt to under armour. [/b][/quote]
Wow, that is the first time I hear this. I always thought that for all HE, even explosives, the damage was done to the side facing the explosion, not always under. Cool info.

Under-armor is weaker.. so that's still one-shot-one-kill most of the time.

Keep talking about this game. Soon well have over 100 pages of these tips and tricks.

I foresaw long live to this quote.Please dont spoil it! LOL
I always thought that only explosion of grenade is only HE damage dealt to under armor.The launchers and HE ammo are dealt from the side you hit them no?

Nope, all HE damage is taken on your under-armour IF you are more than 1x1.

This means that Sectopods + reavers will be hit by HE a lot harder than Etherials, sadly.

I have a few questions.

1. The trick of transferring scientists and engineers from one base to another and saving on salaries, does this work with soldiers, and also with the rental costs of aircraft? (I haven't got better aricraft yet.)

2. Speaking of better aircraft, what components and research do I need in order to get better aircraft? Which aliens do I need to capture for interrogation for this? Is the best way of determining these aliens to use a mind probe during a battle?

3. What do I need (components, research, captured aliens) to get psi capabilities?

3. There seem to be a lot of research projects available to me, but I'm sure many are useless. Does researching alien food or alien entertainment, for instance, lead to anything useful? Also, the autopsies generally seem fairly useless.

1)Yes(at least I think,I never did it...) but you must have free hangar...
2)For better crafts:Alien Alloys,Ufo power source,Ufo Navigation,Elerium-115,Ufo Construction-better crafts and armors...(this was answered almost 20 times in this thread....)The mind probe is ONLY way to determite accurate rank/stats of alien.
3)For Psi you must resreach captured Sectoid leader or any Etheral
4)Alien food/entertaiment/etc....-useless.Autopsies are more-or less useless too,but if you read them,you can find some interesting facts about aliens...(snakeman-imunine to fire,etc....)However resreaching captured(live) aliens lead to many interesting things....

[PrejudiceSucks]

Yes, all of that is correct. The only reason to research alien food etc. is so that you get some (not that many) points for researching it.

Autopsies are helpful if you want to know how to kill something (especially Crysallids)...

Mind Probes are very, very useful and at least 3 people should have them per landing. Who knows what you might have accidentaly killed otherwise?

HE is HE is HE. Remember, this was pushing the envelope in PC games when it can out and multiple HE effects would add even more load onto those 50mhz 8mb ram systems :P

Please quit spamming those one sentence posts. If you want to talk about something like that try PM's or MSN.

This thread is really turning into a joke. It should be closed and a new thread should be reopenned.
