I have finished a downloadable HTML USOpaedia for TFTD, similar to xcomufo's UFO Defense downloadable UFOpaedia. If anyone wants a copy, email me at darth_synge @ yahoo.com.

Upcoming projects include making an HTML or possibly Flash UFOpaedia for X-COM Apocalypse once I actually manage to finish it. The latter will only happen if I can get some Flash software and learn how to use it, though.

I have an account on the xcomufo forums, though I haven't accessed the forum in a long time, and have no posts there. My main forum is Spacebattles.com, and I have the same handle there as I do here.

Talk:Base Defense (Apocalypse)

How do you use security stations? i haven't been able to figure out the controls.--[[User:(name here)|(name here)]] 11:46, 18 November 2007 (PST)

You don't, exactly. Each station you put in your base comes with some "turrets" attached to it. These automatically fire at any enemies they happen to spot until they get destroyed. I don't think you can even select them. - [[User:Bomb Bloke|Bomb Bloke]] 19:45, 18 November 2007 (PST)

I've never seen them operate on turn based defence missions, but in real time they spot enemies and open fire automatically.

Only 12 turrets appear to be able to operate at any given time, that's 3 modules worth of turrets. The inactive turrets still act as targets, and the few that are operational will easily wipe out a good number of the opposition (and I'm just talking about the plasma modules!).

You'll probably notice that you'll have lost 6 unit slots in your normal lineup of 36 spaces for agents and techs. It's not really known why at this point, but it's assumed that the six slots are used for operating the 12 turrets (6 slots = 12 weapon hands, after all).

On my first base defense mission, I had the base entrance isolated from the rest of the base, and my guys and the aliens all spawned there. Since I was playing turn-based with toxiguns, I ended up killing them in one round. Has anyone else had that happen? - [[User:cpj1227|cpj1227]] 8:49, 29 June 2008 (CDT)

I'm pretty much a newb here on UFOpaedia.

The first time I heard of the X-COM games was in a piece of fanfiction of Fanfiction.net (that involved X-COM: Interceptor, no less).

After reading up on the game series on Wikipedia (which led me here), I just _had_ to play the game. I looked on eBay for the Collector's Edition, but all the auctions I found were just too expensive And that's when I found out that I could download the Collector's Edition of the game off the Internet. If you have a problem with how I got the game, I'm sorry, but that's just how it happened.

Thus far I've played and beaten UFO Defense and TFTD, and I currently am working on beating Superhuman in UFO and analyzing gameplay information from TFTD on several difficulty levels.

This wikia helped me through UFO Defense, and so I believe that I should give something back. That's why I will be doing research in-game and adding to the TFTD articles, which seem to have been neglected in comparison to the UFO Defense articles
.
So far, I've added info to the article [[Survey Ship]], and to do so, I uploaded the two terrain maps, thanks to [http://www.daishiva.com/phpBB2/generic.php?page=progLinks.shtml MapView].

Also, I have recently finished a downloadable HTML USOpaedia for TFTD, similar to xcomufo's UFO Defense downloadable UFOpaedia. If anyone wants a copy, email me at cpj1227@ yahoo.com, and I will try to get you a copy ASAP, or at least as soon as I happen to read my email (the only place I can do so is at the local public library).

Upcoming projects include adding to the other USO articles (I'm currently studying USO crew distributions) here and if I can get a copy of the CE version of X-COM Apocalypse, making an HTML UFOPaedia for it.

I have an account on the xcomufo forums, though I haven't accessed the forum in a long time, and have no posts there. My main forum is Spacebattles.com, and I have the same handle there as I do here.

Survey Ship

2007-03-29T12:51:55Z

Cpj1227:

'''Survey Ships''' are the TFTD equivalent of UFO Defense's [[Small Scout]], albeit with several differences.

==Statistics==
[[Image:SurveyShip.gif|right]]
Damage capacity: 60

Weapon Power: 0

Weapon Range: 0 km

Maximum Speed: 2000 knots

==General Information==
This tiny submarine is used for reconnaissance and survey [[Alien Missions (TFTD)|missions]] . It normally precedes larger vessels at the start of an Alien task force.

==Additional Information==
The Survey Ship is somewhat larger on the Battlescape than its UFO Defense cousin, to the point that a [[Submersible Weapons Systems|SWS]] can enter and fit inside. There are two small storage rooms next to the main door, but since there's only one occupant, there's little or no chance of ambush, since it is usually outside the ship at start of combat.

Alien Research (TFTD)

2006-07-16T21:47:29Z

Cpj1227:

Information recovered from research of alien Medics may break the research tree progression. Don't research live alien Medics until the very end of the game, because you may need to interogate the ''actual'' live Alien (or research its corpse) instead of getting the information second-hand from a Medic class Alien.

There are problems getting the [[Thermic Lance]] and [[Vibro Blade]] research items if you don't have the [[Calcinite]] corpse to research. If the information is obtained from a Medic, then you will never get the option to research hand-to-hand weapons

Trying to get a Calcinite corpse after the initial glut of Terror mission from the [[Aquatoid]]s is nigh on impossible. Well, not really because you can have "Mixed" race Terror Sites (usually on ocean liners). One problem that can arise is if one were to be researching a Medic, getting the results of any unresearched alien corpse or race would sometimes break the progression of research if those results were to lead to anything further down the research tree. eg:

---> ''ACTUAL'' Calcinite corpse = Calcinite Autopsy and Thermic Lance (if you are researching the physical corpse)

BUT

---> any Alien Medic = ''any possible Alien data''

Hence: if you research any Medic, you MAY get "Calcinite Autopsy" as a result. If this were the case, the results display as per usual, but the research line stops dead for that path. ie: the next screen doesn't appear which would be "next available research" items. Thus, Medics can break the tree if the results lead to something more.

Note: i might have been a bit wrong with the vibro blade. I think that came from a Gillman race.... Damn! i really need to play a game so i can remember the tree. (but i'm absolutely sure about the Medic breaking the tree, BTW) - [[User:EsTeR|EsTeR]]

(Actually, Vibro Blade research comes from the Calcinite. Once that research is done, if you've autopsied a Gillman by that point (more than likely) you get to research Thermic Lance. Once Thermic Lance is researched, Heavy Thermic Lance, last in this line, can be researched.) - [[User:cpj1227|cpj1227]]
