Title: Abduction missions: Our Soldiers were Taken!
Post by: mercy on April 08, 2013, 08:44:27 pm

ABDUCTIONS:

Initiate higher chance of our team must retreat / fall back.

Make the aliens drag away alive members of our team.

Display a message box: ALIENS CAPTURED X OF YOUR SOLDIERS

These unfortunates are dragged away and eaten alive.

Hypothetical:
"We could see aliens dragging away soldiers alive or as corpses to make tasty goo-soups from them."

Goal of alien missions could be Gathering Food, because the aliens are growing hungry. So if one of our bases is attacked, then we should panic / stress about how many of our people will be dragged away screaming...   just as in aliens to throw some to the Chryssalids.

You should take this one to the modding section, dawg.

So are you just asking for a new message box to rub it in our faces that we left soldiers behind?

Unless this comes with a new cinematic like when the playstation added ones for retreating and winning, I don't really see much value in this.
