Can Aliens Intercept XCOM craft?

[Bobby Buns]

I know it doesn't happen in the base game, but is it possible? For example, what if transfers were done by plane, which the aliens could try to shoot down?

Is it possible?   

Yes, but you would have to write a whole new section of the program to make it work.    If you know C++, all of the source code is available to manipulate and create in any way you like.

On the other hand it is not at all in the scope of the OpenXcom project, so I doubt that you would see it any time soon.

I was thinking myself recently that such a mod would be a very cool thing... if someone were to make. Beyond me, I'm afraid.

Another type of "retaliation" mission. Not as much a threat to your base, but imagine having the aliens hunt your sky rangers? It'd be neat if you could set Interceptors to match speed with troop transports, to escort them.
