Rumble Cannon (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T19:26:50Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Rumble_Cannon_Apoc.png|frame|The Rumble Cannon, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Rumble Cannon is one of the most powerful weapons that exists in [[Mega-Primus]], capable of launching a rapid barrage of powerful shells at targets. Though not individually powerful or very accurate, the shells are fired in great numbers and each shell can easily punch through even the toughest of the capital class UFO hulls. It does not require ammunition.

The Rumble cannon unfortunately suffers from several serious flaws that do not allow the cannon to be put to its fullest potential. The first is that the range of the cannon is very short, meaning the vehicle needs to be up close to the target before it can lay waste to it. Cannon performance is also less than stellar when under AI control, but can be used to great effect under manual control. Perhaps the biggest crippling factor is that it is limited to a ground based vehicle, the [[Griffon AFV (Apocalypse) | Griffon AFV]]. This severely restricts its ability to intercept UFOs unless the tanks are strategically placed around the city.

The Rumble Cannon is the standard weapon mounted on a [[Griffon AFV (Apocalypse) | Griffon AFV]] that is fresh from the manufacturer. With the Griffon AFV being the only land based vehicle capable of mounting the Rumble Cannon, the cannons rarely ever need purchasing.

Note that some images of the cannon are switched with the [[Plasma Turret Cannon (Apocalypse) | Plasma Turret Cannon ]].

Ground Launched Missile Air Defense (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T19:25:59Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:GLM_Turret_Apoc.png|frame|The Ground Launched Missile(GLM) Air Defense Unit, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The GLM Missile Air Defense is a [[Griffon AFV (Apocalypse)|tank-mounted]] variant of the smaller [[Ground Launched Missile Array (Apocalypse) | GLM Array]] that fires a powerful '''G'''round '''L'''aunched '''M'''issile at a generously long distance.

While not as destructive as the [[Rumble Cannon (Apocalypse)|Rumble Cannon]] nor does it share the range and fire power of the [[Plasma Turret Cannon (Apocalypse) |Plasma Turret Cannon ]], the GLMs enjoy the benefits shared by all missiles in that they home in on their targets. This means it is the more accurate of the three tank turrets.

It also shares the disadvantage of the missiles in that it is susceptible to missile jamming and a smaller ammunition supply.

The extra range and homing ability of the GLM missiles give the Griffon AFV's a new lease of life, allowing them to launch attacks while keeping a good distance away from any form of retaliation. As per standard procedure, the tank(s) would have to be strategically placed around the city in order to even have a chance at intercepting UFOs that are in-transit.

Plasma Turret Cannon (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T19:17:52Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Plasma_Turret_Apoc.png|frame|The Plasma Turret Cannon, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Plama Turret Cannon is the most accurate and powerful single-shot [[Griffon AFV (Apocalypse) | tank-mounted]] weapon in [[Mega-Primus]]. It has the greatest range of all the ground based weapons. It is powered by a generous amount of [[Elerium (Apocalypse)|Elerium]], allowing it to weather through most UFO incursions.

Like the [[Ground Launched Missile Air Defense (Apocalypse) | GLM Air Defense]] turret, the greater range renews the Griffon AFV's ability to fight UFOs at a distance without bringing too much attention to itself - given it is strategically positioned in the city to be able to intercept UFOs as they fly by. However, unlike the missiles, the plasma beam will not adjust its course during travel, making it much harder to hit swift moving targets at distances.

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:GLM_Array_Apoc.png|frame|The Ground Launched Missile(GLM) Array, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The GLM Array is a pod that stores a generous supply of missiles that can be launched from a ground based vehicle. It is a fairly capable weapon for taking down small airborne targets. It can be thought of as a rough ground based approximation of the [[Janitor Missile Array (Apocalypse)|Janitor Missile Array]].

As the GLM Array fires missiles, it can both benefit and be disadvantaged by the missiles' homing capabilities and is susceptible to missile jamming.

The GLM Array is a standard mount on new [[Wolfhound APC (Apocalypse) | Wolfhound APC]]s.

2010-01-30T19:15:25Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Airguard_Cannon_Apoc.png|frame|The Airguard Anti-Air Cannon, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Airguard Anti-Air Cannon is a variant of the [[40mm Auto Cannon Turret (Apocalypse) |40mm Auto Cannon Turret]] and enjoys all the benefits and weaknesses offered by the 40mm cannons.

The Airguard is an upgrade of the 40mm cannons by having a greater attack range and it can do more damage per bullet. Unfortunately its has a reduced rate of fire. The lower fire rate often results in the 40mm performing better than the Airguard in actual practice.

The Airguard Anti-Air Cannon is a standard issue mount on all new [[Stormdog]]s.

[[Image:40mm_Turret_Apoc.png|frame|The 40mm Auto Cannon Turret, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The 40mm Auto Cannon Turret is a [[40mm Auto Cannon (Apocalypse) | 40mm Auto Cannon]] variant designed for ground based vehicles. The 40mm's are commonly employed on Megapol [[Police Car (Apocalypse)|Police Cars]].

As with all the auto cannon variants, they function exceptionally well at dealing good damage to small to medium UFOs while dealing minimal colalteral damage when they miss. Megapol Police cruisers are very effective at neutralizing UFO [[Small Disruption Shield (Apocalypse) | shields]] with them.

Plasma Defense Array (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T19:07:38Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Plasma_Array_Apoc.png|frame|The Plasma Defense Array, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Plasma Defense Array supercedes the [[Laser Defense Array (Apocalypse)|Laser Defense Array]] by having much better firepower. It's better in every way, and thus should take preference over the Laser Defense System unless budget constraints prevent this.

Refer to the [[Laser Defense Array (Apocalypse)| Laser Defense Array]] section for the weapon particulars.

Because it is of much lower power output than a Lineage, Rendor or Multi-Plasma, the Plasma Defense Array is kitted with an efficient [[Elerium (Apocalypse)|Elerium]] power plant resembling the ones used in the first alien war. It is effectively as self-sufficient as a Laser weapon, and thus does not require ammunition.

Laser Defense Array (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T19:06:33Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Laser_Array_Apoc.png|frame|The Laser Defense Array, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Laser Defense Array will automatically attempt to destroy incoming missiles. Unfortunately, it rarely does enough damage to the missiles to destroy them unless a [[Missile Evasion Matrix (Apocalypse)|Missile Array Matrix]] is active or additional arrays are present. All defense arrays have a complete circle firing arc, allowing them to fire at missiles in any direction.

Laser Defense Arrays cannot be mounted on ground vehicles and must be mounted on a ship with a sufficiently large weapon hardpoint. Due to its awkward shape and size, only [[Hawk Air Warrior]] or X-COM hybrid aircraft are capable of mounting them.

The defense arrays unfortunately have one major drawback. Unless mounted onto a ship that's dedicated purely for anti-missile countermeasures, each turret will seriously affect a ships firepower.

Defense arrays normally only target missiles, however they can be turned against enemy targets when fired on manual control. The attacks do not do much damage individually, but the rapid rate of fire and circular firing arc compensates for this. UFOs with thick hulls such as the two capital ships cannot be harmed by the weak attacks, but disruptor shields, weaker UFOs and conventional enemy aircraft will sustain considerable damage.

Retribution Missile Launcher (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T19:05:11Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Retribution_Launcher_Apoc.png|frame|The Retribution Missile Launcher, image from the UFOpaedia]]
An even more destructive missile than the [[Justice Missile Launcher (Apocalypse)|Justice Missile]], Retribution missiles need to be used with severe judgement.

The Retribution missile sports an immensly powerful warhead and almost city-wide range, making it propably the most devastating and fear-inducing weapon available for X-COM.

The launcher is capable of holding only a single huge missile and it has very poor tracking so it is best used against extremely slow or, ideally, stationary targets. Buildings will turn to ruins and UFOs are left with a large new viewport by the huge explosion. The single-shot nature and poor tracking however limit the effectiveness of this weapon and it is best suited for taking down hostile buildings or as artillery support against large, slow targets in emergency situations.

Prophet Missile Array (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T19:03:13Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Prophet_Array_Apoc.png|frame|The Prophet Missile Array, image from the UFOpaedia]]
Compared to the [[Janitor Missile Array (Apocalypse)|Janitor Missile Array]], Prophet missiles are a step forward and have superior performance as the missiles do more damage and are more agile and faster-tracking than Janitors. However, the launcher is a huge step backwards because it carriers a very small amount of missiles. Even though Prophets are more likely to hit the target, the Janitor array will keep on going long after Prophet has ran dry.

Poor ammo capacity limits the usefulness of Prophet missiles but against small, lightly armored and fast targets it will perform far better than Janitor missile, assuming the target is weak enough to be taken down with just a few Prophet missiles.

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Justice_Launcher_Apoc.png|frame|The Justice Missile Launcher, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Justice missile system is an intimidating, high-yield explosive missile.

While the missile is very powerful, it has inferior manouverability compared to lighter missiles like [[Janitor Missile Array (Apocalypse)|Janitor missiles]] and is therefore suited only for slow or, ideally, stationary targets.

The launcher can only hold one missile, so care needs to be taken not to waste the missile.

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Janitor_Array_Apoc.png|frame|The Janitor Missile Array, image from the UFOpaedia]]
While the general consensus is to avoid weapons that require reloading since ammunition can be expensive, it's important to note that the Janitor missile array's performance is a good balance to the cost of its missiles. At the beginning, you can mount one of these missile arrays on each of your hovercars to give them a good offensive punch against the smaller craft. However, as the game progresses and the alien ships get larger, you're better off upgrading to something with more punch.

2010-01-30T18:58:32Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:40mm_Cannon_Apoc.png|frame|The 40mm Auto Cannon, image from the UFOpaedia]]
This little weapon is often underrated. It has the drawback of requiring ammunition, but the good news is that the ammo for this weapon is fairly cheap and doesn't take much space, so a large amount can be carried with the gun. What this weapon lacks in overall efficiency it makes up for with performance. It has a good rate of fire and, most importantly, it is the most accurate projectile weapon you have access to in the beginning of the game, with an impressive 70% base accuracy rating. A small group of hoverbikes armed with 40mm Auto Cannons can easily bring down the earlier scout craft in the game and can even prove to be a nuisance to the larger ones later on.

An additional perk for the weapon is poor property damage which means that you will not cause much damage to the city during intense air combat.

[[Image:Light_Disruptor_Apoc.png|frame|The Light Disruptor Beam, image from the UFOpaedia]]
This will be the first alien weapon you recover since you'll pick one up off of the light attack craft the aliens bring in after their initial scouting runs. Only the [[Hawk Air Warrior]] and the X-Com hybrid craft have slots capable of outfitting this weapon. Alien distruptor weapons are powerful, accurate, and have an infinite ammunition supply, making them an excellent upgrade for the vehicles that can mount them.

Note that, being alien technology, you can only use and manufacture them after researching one.

Plasma Multi-System (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T18:56:31Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Multi_Plasma_Apoc.png|frame|The Plasma Multi-System, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Plasma Multi-System is a box shaped weapon with mini-turrets sticking out of it at all angles that can inflict average damage. Its use is limited to fighting weaker enemy vehicles such as Hoverbikes, Hovercars or the earlier medium class UFOs. Its only major drawback is its reliance on [[Elerium (Apocalypse)|Elerium]] for fuel.

The Plasma Multi-System's main gimmick and attraction is its wide firing arc. While not as impressive as the arc on the anti-missile defense guns, it can fire in almost any direction. This is a desireable trait that compensates for the depressingly slow turn rates of some ships such as the [[Hawk Air Warrior]]. This allows these slow lumbering hulks to continue firing at the UFOs while turning.

The Hawk is coincidentally the only purchaseable air ship that can mount it. Hybrid X-COM aircraft such as the [[Dimension Probe]], [[Bio-Trans]] and beyond can easily mount the plasma multi-system, although advent of the ammo-less disruptor technology precludes the multi-system's longevity.

Lineage Plasma Cannon (Apocalypse)

2010-01-30T18:55:03Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Lineage_Plasma_Apoc.png|frame|The Lineage Plasma Cannon, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Lineage Plasma Cannon is quite a powerful yet compact weapon, and it can fit on most vehicles, including the [[Hoverbike (Apocalypse)|Hoverbike]] and the [[Phoenix Hovercar (Apocalypse)|Phoenix]]. This weapon is fueled by [[Elerium (Apocalypse)|Elerium]] and is probably the most cost-effective Elerium-powered weapon. It is a heavier equivalent of the [[Lancer 7000 Laser Gun (Apocalypse)|Lancer 7000 Laser Gun]] for arming aircraft.

While a [[Hawk Air Warrior]] equipped with three Lineage Cannons can prove sufficiently powerful to take down a mid-tier alien craft, its indisputable biggest weakness is its appalling accuracy. And with its impressive range it tends to start firing long before it has a chance of hitting (the enemy at least). It will regularly succeed in doing ten times more damage to the city than the aliens if not handled carefully.

The other option is to only use them up close. The procedure used to conserve the use of the [[Stasis_Bomb_Launcher_(Apocalypse)|Stasis Bomb Launcher]] can be used here: disable the hardpoints mounted with Lineage Cannons, get in close, then re-enable the cannons and hit the UFO at close range.

2010-01-30T18:54:03Z

Sunflash: Image Added

[[Image:Rendor_Plasma_Apoc.png|frame|The Rendor Plasma Gun, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Rendor Plasma Gun is a popular but expensive alternative to the [[Bolter 4000 Laser Gun (Apocalypse)|Bolter 4000 Laser Gun]]. This weapon inflicts reasonably good damage and its small size makes it possible to fit it on all vehicles. The Main drawback is that this weapon is powered by [[Elerium (Apocalypse) | Elerium]]. Though not as scarce as the original [[Elerium]] collected in the first alien war, the stocks are still limited.

It is a favourite weapon to arm small vehicles such as [[Hoverbike (Apocalypse)|Hoverbikes]] that still packs a reasonable stopping power without the hefty price tag of the [[Lineage Plasma Cannon (Apocalypse) |Lineage Plasma Cannon]].

A Rendor Plasma Gun comes as a standard issue forward weapon on all new [[Hawk Air Warrior (Apocalypse) |Hawk Air Warriors]].

== Notes ==

There is an error in the vehicle arming screen with the reported amount of ammunition that a Rendor can hold.

The ammo capacity shows that it can store 70 rounds. This is not correct as a Rendor is able to store 140 shots. This is the same amount of Elerium that is removed from storage to fill up a Rendor, indicating that each beam from a Rendor is worth 1 unit of Elerium. The ammo count is deducted by 1 point for every two shots fired. This means the ammo display is halved.

The Lancer 7000 is a high energy laser beam weapon powered by powerful atomic cells that provide a practically infinite energy source. It is a souped-up variant of the [[Bolter 4000 Laser Gun (Apocalypse)| Bolter 4000 Laser Gun]] that fires a more powerful beam.

This weapon is severely restricted in the types of aircraft that it can be mounted on due to its long shape, requiring a 1×4 dimension weapon slot.

Of the few ships available, it is best suited when fitted on the wings of the [[Valkyrie]] Interceptor, [[Hawk Air Warrior]] and [[Explorer]]. Each of these ships have dual 1×4 weapon slots. It is best employed for lazy ammunition micromanagement on the aforementioned ships while still providing them with reasonable fire power.

[[Image:Bolter_4K_Apoc.png|frame|The Bolter 4000 Laser Gun, image from the UFOpaedia]]
The Bolter 4000 Laser Gun is a mid-powered laser beam gun. This weapon is reasonably priced and never needs to be reloaded making it inexpensive to use and thus very suitable for the beginning stages of the game when the budget is still small, enemies are still weak and selection of armament still limited. It is ideal for general air combat without having to worry about dealing massive damage to the city when shots are misfired, or if you want to reduce the micromanagement involved in maintaining your ammunition supplies for large squards of small vehicles.

This weapon is well suited for [[Hoverbike (Apocalypse)|Hoverbikes]] and [[Phoenix Hovercar (Apocalypse)|Hovercars]] but not so much for the [[Valkyrie]] interceptor or the [[Hawk Air Warrior]] whom can be fitted with the larger and more powerful version, the [[Lancer 7000 Laser Gun (Apocalypse)|Lancer 7000 Laser Gun]].

A more powerful weapon of the same size is the [[Rendor Plasma Gun (Apocalypse)|Rendor Plasma Gun]].

Once this comes available, you really do not need [[Agents Armor (Apocalypse)|Marsec Armor]] anymore; teleportation is far easier and faster than flying, although unreliable when the teleporter is low on power.

--[[User:Karpatius|Karp]] 00:14, 20 August 2008 (PDT)

: Actually, it is still useful. It allows you to teleport in mid-air. It's not an essential trait, but it's there.

: Personally, I like to go for full disrupter armor myself - well before teleporters. The invulnerability (as long as durability holds out) to all explosives but the vortex mine really helps in a pinch makes being grounded worth it. Still, I like to at least have one Marsec torso plate on hand to keep the options open. -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 00:28, 20 August 2008 (PDT)

Template talk:Vehicle Equipment (Apocalypse) Navbar

2010-01-21T18:41:27Z

Sunflash:

Hello there. :)

I had thought before of creating a navbar for Vehicle Items (Weapons, Engines and Equipment) but I think it would get too big, even without using the images.

Plus there aren't icon images for the Engines and Equipment like those for the Vehicles and Weapons, it would be necessary to create them using the inventory images. And the icon images for Weapons would have to be edited to remove the grey boxes, to keep them with the same style as the images on the Vehicles navbar.

So, what I'd propose is that there isn't a Vehicle Equipment navbar but to add a new row to the bottom of the Vehicles navbar called Items, which would have 3 categories listed: [[Vehicle Weapons (Apocalypse)|Vehicle Weapons]], [[Vehicle Engines (Apocalypse)|Vehicle Engines]] and [[Vehicle Equipment (Apocalypse)|Vehicle Equipment]]. And we could use the work you already started here to make tables for those 3 pages to better present and organize the links to the individual items. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 12:15, 21 January 2010 (EST)

: Hi! That sounds like a much better idea than the one of going through and editing old icons/making new ones that I was orignally going with. I had also been cautious of messing with any of the established templates,so opted to try to make one myself. Ugly as sin though. I've already got most of the Vehicle Equipment UFOPaedia pictures I think (if not, easy to get), so I'll probably occupy my time with that for now.

*This is filler text until it is no longer filler text.

'''''Official Entry:''''' " The energy source for the Alien craft is generated in special dimension chambers which suck incredible amounts of energy from the Alien Dimension. These systems are highly unstable and should be treated with caution in combat situations. "

Megapol

2010-01-20T22:09:15Z

Sunflash: More icon fixes.

== Profile ==
Megapol not only runs the city police force and prison service, it also manufactures vehicles,
weapons and munitions. It directly competes with the [[Marsec]] corporation for lucrative markets
in the mining colonies and [[Mega-Primus]]. The major problems for Megapol are the criminal gangs
that distribute [[Psiclone]] and the UFO incursions which are regarded as a threat to city
security. Police vehicles bravely intercept UFOs as they materialize from the [[Dimensional
Gates]], but they are woefully under equipped to deal with them.

== Overview ==
* Megapol runs the city's police, fire, and ambulance services, as well as producing some of the more important weapons and equipment in the game.
* They start out friendly to you, and you should keep them that way, because:
** You absolutely need Megapol's weapons early on.
** Megapol officers are some of the most difficult enemies in the game.
** Megapol [[Police Car (Apocalypse)|road]] and [[Police Hovercar (Apocalypse)|air]] squad cars are constantly patrolling the city. It would be much more convenient for them to keep shooting at Aliens, rather than at you.
** Police cars may have pitful defense but they can help X-COM in downing UFOs.
* If you become enemies with them, the most likely turn of events will end in losing the game.

Nanotech

Sunflash: Sanctuary Clinic Icon Fixed.

__NOTOC__
== Profile ==
The Nanotech corporation has specialized in developing microscopic robots which are used in the
medical and pharmaceutical industries. The intelligence of these devices is limited, but they can
be designed to perform a wide variety of tasks, such as killing bacteria or manufacturing
chemicals. Nanotech also produce the highly effective [[Medi-Kit (Apocalypse)|Medi-Kit]] used in military combat
which use Nanobots to perform battlefield surgery and tissue repair.

== Overview ==
With Nanotech as hostile, Medi-Kits will be impossible to acquire which will impair the ability of X-COM agents to treat their wounds.

Talk:Base Defense (Apocalypse)

2010-01-20T02:16:24Z

Sunflash:

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 defense 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).

- [[User:NKF|NKF]] 20:29, 18 November 2007 (PST)

Is it a bad idea to build more than three security stations, or are extra stations still useful for distracting the enemy even though they do not fire? It seems like it could cause problems the wrong stations were left without power.

- [[User:Captain Foo|Captain Foo]] 28 August 2008

: More security stations area always a good idea even if the wrong modules get chosen. Even the basic plasma module provides guns that take a lot of firepower to destroy, thus you have more time to gather up your scattered troops. From experience though, things work out quite well with regards to which guns come on-line. Of course, this is all based off my base construction philosophy of making sure all entry points are on one side of the base with a belt or wall of security stations between it and the rest of the facility. This way even if the wrong modules come on-line, the enemies will have to go through the right ones eventually. - [[User:NKF|NKF]] 22:36, 28 August 2008 (PDT)

----

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)

----

This is probably a silly question, but...does anyone know if damage to your base modules have to be repaired out of your pocket money, or is there just a fine line between damaged and destroyed? I understand in EU/TFTD that they can take a beating, but will eventually just get demolished to the point they're removed from the base afterwards; but Apoc works abit differently too. I haven't had the...pleasure of a base attack yet, so I haven't been able to confirm/deny this myself.

'''Tips?'''

How about this: When you're in either view (isometric[real] or tactical) and an event happens roughly within your viewing window(or within the blue box in tactical view), the game will NOT pause when the event happens, EVEN IF you have it set to auto-pause.
HOWEVER, if your view is just one floor up-or-down in difference, then game WILL pause; even if you actually have a good view of what just happened.

This can be handy if you want to watch a fight-scene for a certain non-event action (arthopod throwing a boomoroid, spitter turning to flee, etc), but don't want to have to be ever-viligant for something like a unit dying or getting critically injured, etc. [[User:Sunflash|Sunflash]] 21:09, 19 January 2010 (EST)
