Ethereal huh? thanks. I actually have not met those guys in battle. From what I read in some posts, they are trouble. Mind control? blaster launchers? heavy armor? or just all around tough guys?
In a mission, I caught a glimpse of one, orange cape I think? (yeah, I know, alien fashion sense...) but then the game crashed and when I continued never again faced them. Thanks for the info. |

Yes, I think you're right that it needs to be a commander taken from an alien base. In most cases they will be found at the top floor of the room with the big grav lift; there's a corridor all around that room, accessible only by a 5-or-so tiles wide door. I hope you can gather from this description what I mean...
As for ethereals, those are indeed the orange caped ones. They're dangerous (understatement) because of their psi abilities. Be glad that you haven't met them often yet.

Yeah, why won't someone try that for fun? Have two soldiers with good psychic abilities carry a spare psi-amp, MC an etheral, then throw the new etheral slave the spare psi-amp.

Can you make mind controlled aliens pick up things? I've read once that you need to cycle through your soldiers until you're on the MC'ed alien to do so. But I haven't tried it yet.

Yea,. You cant do it directly. But I think that cycling throught soldiers to get alien is bug and it could be already in Ufoefense

but i wouldn´t consider it as a bug (as far as you dont use it with chrysalids). why shouldn´t you be able to equip MCed aliens, that doens´t make much sense |

Thanks, I WOULD like to battle the Ethereals so I can see how my soldiers do against them, specially considering I could end up meeting a whole bunch of them in Mars. I think it's a good idea to wait then, for the snakes or floaters to build their own pretty little base and then come in and exterminate them, heh.
And I have never used stun bombs, always rods, oh, well. Thanks for the info guys. And now, MORE questions! 1. Allien food? any good or can I go ahead and sell it? I have already researched it... 2. Allien enterteinment/ Likewise. 3. Examination room. Got 3 or 4 of those, already researched them as well. Can I sell all this stuff? No need for it at all? As usual, all info greatly appreciated. |
