Hey just popping back into this thread! I took some of you advice with autosnipers (Those things are really good most of the "AUTO" weapons seems meh but it worked out good) and using the gym to train troops better (I did all this on my original save before i saw the updated save) Took a good chunk of the manors out (hybrid bases and colonlys are still to rough right now) and did some more crash sites
Hit a floater scout ship (i think) and load and behold i GOT ONE! must have been in total like, 13 crash sites, 1 or 2 landings and 160 Osiron crates. guess i was just unlucky. Already got my fancy new lab up and laser weapons on the way. Usually i haven't made it this far. So any advice for good techs to get or rush would be appricated!
Thank for the adivce! Gonna go and bag me some more aliens now!
