<t> Well...I still havent built any of the new interceptors, the old ones seem to hold their own.&nbsp; I can currently surge a fleet of 10 if necessary with various tech attached.&nbsp; Its a hodge podge, we look like the Clampetts on their way to Beverly, but it works.&nbsp; I havent really ...

<t> My only gripe with the system is getting the newbies up to snuff.&nbsp; Nearly impossible this late in the game, they keep getting thumped.&nbsp; I have to send em out with a couple of vets just to make sure the whole lot dont go missing during a mission, and most of the time its the vets who ...

<t> Ok gang...as a special treat, I have a quarters worth of reports for your perusal.<br/>
<br/>
Month 12...Very bland month. It allowed us to finish alot of the minor projects sitting in the lab. We finally managed to crack plasma technology, and when I say crack, I mean everything from pistols ...

Ditto on the strip all button.&nbsp; I still dont have enough weapons and equipment to outfit everyone and its a pain to click and drag everything to/from...it wastes so much time.&nbsp; [:@]

Oh...and the reason it took so long to get through this month...two internal crash to desktop errors.&nbsp; What a pain especially when you are 2/3rds of the way through the month and you havent saved since the first day.&nbsp; Lesson learned...save early, save often.

<t> In answer to your first question, yeah...I'll figure out a way to make it more legible.&nbsp;[;)]&nbsp; To the second, again yes.&nbsp; As I was reading through others' posts, I began to wonder what would trip the arrival of&nbsp;a CO type unit.&nbsp; Now, I cant throw a grenade without it ...

<t> The latest news from the front...Month 11: As we begin the ramp up for new years celebrations, we would like to take this opportunity to solicit "The Management' for some streamers, a couple of noisemakers, a bottle or two of champagne, and a cake...yes, we think a cake would be appropriate ...

<t> The latest news from the front...Month 10...Its quiet, almost too quiet. The bugs are up to something, just not sure what yet. The month began with a giant furball over patria with a Clover (+). Initially three sections of a/c were scrambled from surrounding bases for the scrum. When we launched ...

<t> That sometimes when the ground is littered with little white dots and you save the game because its 2 in the morning and you cant keep your bloodshot eyes open, the next day when you load your save point, they all mysteriously disappear. Its happened to me 3 times so far, very irritating ...

<t> The latest news from the front...Month 9. You smell that ladies?..that's the sweet smell of victory. We came, we saw, we kicked the ever livin' crap out of 'em. Let's start from the gitgo...remember that nice new base I was talking about, well, we bought it. Remember the larger ships I was ...

I can relate, however I think part of the strategy is choosing which missions are more important. Otherwise, I think you would clean up.<br/>
<br/>
This 'strategy' feature was also part of the original game, and I remember feeling ...

WolfP, the single mission is common since the trans needs to reequip the soldiers and the trans fuel point is tracked from mission site to base. Any trans or fighter that does not have enough fuel to return home ... this does not ...

Thanks for the kind words gang.&nbsp; Between the wife, kids, my job, the house, and my Masters program, its a wonder I have been able to get this far. [;)]

<t> The latest and greatest from the front...Month 8:&nbsp; Well in like a lamb, out like a lion is very appropriate.&nbsp; Although normally only applicable during the month of March, this one was a real humdinger and deserves special recognition.&nbsp; On the first, the bugs got a little too cocky ...

<t> I would like to be able to tap more than one crash site before the carrier returns to base.&nbsp; I had a string on the ground, so I figured I would hit the furthest one out and work my way back in depending on troop strength.&nbsp; First landing went without a hitch and I was still at full ...

Yeah...its pretty much the same fair for each craft that you shoot down, at least as far as fighters and scouts are concerned.&nbsp; I havent had anything bigger show up yet.&nbsp; One of the modders should be able to answer whether randomizing crash results is possible or not.

<t> I had both myself.&nbsp; Still liked Space Hulk better than Chaos Gate.&nbsp; I remember being disappointed when they released the folup to Space Hulk on I think the Sony Playstation, but never released it for the PC.&nbsp; I still have the 3.5s with Space Hulk on it somewhere in this mess.</t>

<t> Month 7: Well, we are still taking approximately 25% casualties. You tell these kids to make sure they keep their heads on the swivel and sweep around the aircraft once it has landed, but do they listen...no! That's ok, if life has to teach you a few hard lessons by leaving you a sieve, then so ...

yes...but the minimum strength is not posted, say in the ufopedia. So, without knowing the min strength before production, I now have laser cannons that no one can lift.

<t> And I am playing on normal. 1st month saw an entire team, desert wind, breeze, high pressure area or whatever the hell it is, and transport craft lost. This was due to a misdrop on what I think was a base instead of a landed UFO. Morale was at an all time low. So, bought a new plane, bought a ...
