Title: Orbital Space Station: How to get in there?
Post by: MoonKid on November 10, 2021, 09:43:47 pm
I do not know how to get into the orbital space station. I fly with a full eqiuped Ligthning when the mission appears.
And then on the battelscape they (who?) are fireing from the far away dark. I even have no chance to see my enemy.

I am using OXCE 7.0 with XComFiles 1.9.1 currently.

When I played it the firing was coming from Plasma cannons mounted on the station. There are many levels on the station so use the height keys to scan up and down its surface. Also floater legionnaires come out of doors on the station and there are quite a lot of them. to kill these i send a Hovertank close to get them to fire and then use my lighter armoured top marksmen to kill the cannons and the floaters from an overwatch position. then go through the doors and get to the yellow area with all your troops to get to the next level.
 Also use the Kitsune craft instead of a Lightning as you can get more troops  and a hovertank  in it .
  I completed both levels of the mission without suffering a fatality so I hope this advice helps. Good Luck

Damn my Kitsune was destroyed in an air fight long ago.
Is there any way to get it back or again?

I dont think so. i am pretty sure it is a one off. You can wait to get the Avenger but that requires some pretty high level prerequisites. It is still possible to do it with just a crew of eight from the Lightning but you will need your top guys on the job

I guess there should be another, more advanced orbital-capable craft.
