You have 40 hangars?

You have 40 hangars? 

Currently expended about 5 billion and counting.

ACADEMY / ALIEN HOLIDAY RESORT
(superhuman/ironman)

Since shooting down that Academy Gunship, the wretched Academy bastards sent larger ships to retaliate. Among them a massive Academy Cruiser that shot down another 3 or 4 of my remaining vessels relegated to intercepting duties.  I noticed the cruiser is searching around my base in Siberia, so I had an idea. I sent everybody away, dismantled the base and rebuilt it without any Hideout Shrouds. Notice the Access Lift in the bottom-left corner. Fire & Gas Pits surround it. I thought offering a cocktail to the arriving Academy Assault Forces. They must be tired and thirsty..

 ** LET THE ACADEMY ASSAULT BASTARDS COME!! **

dunno what is that room?, just above the medic room ?

i didnt see it yet (at least not in previous versions of Pirateyz, so still unknown to me)

[Rince Wind]

They also come through the hangars.

Really??!  AAARRHH!! Then my design is FCKD!!    Ahhhhh...  Thanks for the info.

Convoy Weapons Question:
There are three light-weapon mounts on the convoy. But its so slow! What can a slow convoy use those light weapons for?

[LytaRyta]

thx, but it wasnt too helpy ~~ "Onsen" - what is it?,
what does it mean

[Ethereal_Medic]

The "onsen" is like a mini-Dojo and the sickbay combined.
The building works less efficient than both combined but it saves one slot in your base.

It's also optional to include but having extra training space and extra wound recovery comes handy in a longrun.

Defence!


And ... Maybe it can catch Ratmen and Necropirates. If you are patient.

My hand is itching to meet Necropirates again! I only saw them at game begin, when they wiped my Founding Übers party and I lost the amazing GDX Airbus!   


OMG!! I just encountered the most famous "monster" from Schwarzenegger's most famous movie! AAAAAAAAAARRGHH!! You guys are CRAZY!!!

What an amazing idea!!  I shot it down with a tank 60mm cannon. 
Jesus!!  This was probably the best surprise in the game so far...

Overburden question:
Does carrying too much increase strength?  I remember decades ago in UFO DEFENSE if I made my soldiers overburdened and walk around like that their strength increased.

[wolfreal]

No. The way to increase secondary stats is to do stuff, shoot, throw, melee.

Sorry, it's never been the case, even in the original game.
But X-Com has many such legends...
