I just can't and won't get enough of this beauty.

So, anyways, regarding research:
1) Does the researched item have to be in the base where it is researched.
2) Can 2 or more bases research the same item with combined effort, save the research time? Or is it about which base completes its research first, if the bases research the same item?

1) Yes
2) No, its about the base who completes full research first.

Is it intended behaviour that the Exterminator in the Zaxx bounty mission doesn't to anything or should I put it in the bug thread?
Oh, and I can't interrogate him either, the option to exchange him for tokens is just there.

What do you mean "doesn't do anything"? I've seen him kill many enemies and all.

That's probably intentional.

[Rince Wind]

Ok, then I'll wait for the next time the mission shows up. I don't have a save from that mission anymore.

The Exterminator didn't move, didn't shoot. Didn't even turn around.

[Nalca]

Isn't that guy controlled by the player during the mission ? I remember controlling an armored exterminator during one of the bounty mission.

[Solarius Scorch]

Of course he's player controlled. AFAIR he even shows up in the pre-battle screen, where you can change his equipment!

[Rince Wind]

Ouch! I didn't even try to see that!

[Solarius Scorch]

It's OK. though out of sheer curiosity, how do you miss something like this? I just can't think of a scenario and it's bugging me now. Like, clicking "next soldier" would be enough to see...

[Rince Wind]

I have no idea, especially as I usually use "next soldier" quite a bit.
Maybe because I was too OP and didn't bother much with tactics. I had a Devastator full of mostly gals in Blitz and Annihilator armor, so I just had them get out, 3 or 4 defended the Exterminator with reaction shots, the others shot what I could see from where they were. Most gals had deathblossoms with HVAP, the others X-Gauss and one Autocannon.
I only had to fly around a bit to find the last 1 or 2 zombies, and I used just 2 gals to search for them. No need to bother with more if they can't touch me anyway.

[Solarius Scorch]

OK... This explains everything XD

[wolfreal]

You can control it, and is a good unit, I recently did the mission and it kill three crys with a one shot, and it survive/evaded the attack of another crys.

[unarmed drifter]

what's the recommended strat for taking down the ninja seeker ship?
four gauss cannons on a barracuda seem too much....
