Title: A question about mind shield
Post by: betatester on August 16, 2024, 05:37:11 pm

I wonder if the base is knew because  it was already attacked is building a mind shield still useful ?
If a base with a mind shield is attacked is it worth it to keep it (because they know where it is now)?

Mind shield halves chance to discover your base every tick (IIRC 30 minutes?) that UFO flies over your base. Nothing more, nothing less. Compounding results from more - 1/3 chance at 2 shields, etc.
A base that was once attacked (as in - ground battle defended) actually "disappears" from alien radar and needs to be discovered again to be attacked.
