UFO Incursions (Apocalypse)

2019-02-10T00:36:23Z

Svx: Add link to the ship article for every ship icon in the tables

This page lists the types of UFO incursions, the craft involved on each alien mission and their specific roles.

Each incursion fleet will consist of 1-7 craft, each with a specific composition and role than can be consulted on the tables below. Each force will consist of UFOs with a primary mission which can be [[Alien Infiltration (Apocalypse)|Infiltration]], [[Alien Infiltration (Apocalypse)#Subversion|Subversion]], [[Cityscape Fighting (Apocalypse)#Retaliation|Attack]] and [[Overspawn (Apocalypse)|Overspawn]] Drop. Usually there will also be additional craft flying as escorts and in a few cases an Infiltration or Overspawn Drop force will also have craft assigned to Attack hostile buildings.

The composition of the fleets depends on the UFOs available at the [[Alien Dimension (Apocalypse)|Alien Dimension]]. Thus, certain fleets will only appear after a certain date. The fleets are sorted in order of priority; for a given mission, the aliens will always use the highest-numbered fleet (furthest down on the list) that they can.

The game seems to choose the mission randomly from a list of 10 missions that at game start will consist of only Infiltration ones. As the weeks go this list is changed and other missions are added to that list, although the probability of them occuring will initially be 1 in 10.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>These fleets will never appear, as the ships required will also fulfil a higher-priority fleet.

<nowiki>**</nowiki>This fleet can appear as long as the aliens have at least one Battleship and one Escort Ship (though two Battleships will still appear in Mega-Primus). This is the result of a bug in the spawn routine; instead of checking whether there are two Battleships, it checks whether there is one Battleship twice.

* UFO fleets led by [[Alien Transporter (Apocalypse)|Transporters]] or [[Alien Assault Ship (Apocalypse)|Assault Ships]] are always on Infiltration missions.

Advanced Control System (Apocalypse)

2019-02-10T00:17:31Z

Svx: Corrected stacking formula. It's a harmonic series not a geometric series.

An X-COM developed accuracy module on (brain)steroids.

A weapon control module can give extra accuracy to guided projectiles. The space requirement for the advanced weapon control is 2x2, so it's best suited for large vehicles.

This is the most effective control system available.

Weapon control modules '''are useless when using guns'''. It does not matter how accurate the attack is, you will still miss if the UFO is no longer where it was when the bullet was fired. Use them with missile weapons for best results.

: '' Note, I'm still not entirely sure on that last bit. Because missiles are auto-homing projectiles, would the accuracy mods affect the missile turn speed? Jammers definitely reduce the speed by making them fly off in a wider circle. Needs some way of testing. - [[User:NKF|NKF]] ''

== Value Stacking ==

The abilities of the weapon control modules can be stacked, however every additional module will have its accuracy reduced incrementally more for every module that is installed. The N<sup>th</sup> module will have its power divided by N. This is known as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(mathematics) Harmonic Series].

For example:

* 1st module: 30% (30% / 1)
* 2nd module: 15% (30% / 2) with both modules adding 45% accuracy to the vehicle
* 3rd module: 10% (30% / 3) with all three modules adding 55% accuracy to the vehicle
* 4th module: 7.5% (30% / 4) with all four module adding 62% (62.5% rounded down) accuracy to the vehicle

The fractions are rounded down to an integer. If mixing weapon control sizes, the larger sizes are considered first in the formula.

In short, the more modules of the same type that are installed beyond the first 2 reduce the overall effectiveness of the accuracy boost.

Light Weapons Control (Apocalypse)

2019-02-09T04:48:48Z

Svx: added note about mixing weapon control modules

the Light Weapons Control adds a 10% improvement to the overall accuracy of the weapons on a vehicle, allowing better target acquisition of stationary targets. It is the smaller of the weapon controls, requiring a 1 × 1 option slot. The [[Hoverbike (Apocalypse)| Hoverbike]] has a slot specifically for this module. It is also an excellent item to fill in any gaps in the option slots if there are any.

== Value Stacking ==

The abilities of the weapon control modules can be stacked, however every additional module will have its accuracy reduced incrementally more for every module that is installed. The N<sup>th</sup> module will have its power divided by N. This is known as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(mathematics) Harmonic Series].

* 1st module: 10% (10% / 1)
* 2nd module: 5% (10% / 2) with both modules adding 15% accuracy to the vehicle
* 3rd module: 3.33% (10% / 3) with all three modules adding 18% (18.33% rounded down) accuracy to the vehicle
* 4th module: 2.5% (10% / 4) with all four module adding 20% (20.83% rounded down) accuracy to the vehicle

The fractions are rounded down to an integer. If mixing weapon control sizes, the larger sizes are considered first in the formula.

In short, the more modules of the same type that are installed beyond the first 2 reduce the overall effectiveness of the accuracy boost.

Medium Weapons Control (Apocalypse)

2019-02-09T04:47:02Z

Svx: added note about mixing weapon control modules

A weapon control module can give extra accuracy to guided projectiles. The space required for the medium weapon control is 2x1.
Along with other modules, they make efficient "space fillers" if you have empty utility module space.

Weapon control modules '''are useless when using guns'''. It does not matter how accurate the attack is, you will still miss if the UFO is no longer where it was when the bullet was fired. Use them with missile weapons for best results.

* 4th module: 5% (20% / 4) with all four module adding 41% (41.66% rounded down) accuracy to the vehicle

The fractions are rounded down to an integer. If mixing weapon control sizes, the larger sizes are considered first in the formula.

In short, the more modules of the same type that are installed beyond the first 2 reduce the overall effectiveness of the accuracy boost.

* 2nd module: 15% (30% / 2) with both modules adding 45% accuracy to the vehicle
* 3rd module: 10% (30% / 3) with all three modules adding 55% accuracy to the vehicle
* 4th module: 7.5% (30% / 4) with all four module adding 62% (62.5% rounded down) accuracy to the vehicle

The fractions are rounded down to an integer.

In short, the more modules of the same type that are installed beyond the first 2 reduce the overall effectiveness of the accuracy boost.

Medium Weapons Control (Apocalypse)

2019-02-09T04:40:49Z

Svx: Corrected stacking formula. It's a harmonic series not a geometric series.

A weapon control module can give extra accuracy to guided projectiles. The space required for the medium weapon control is 2x1.
Along with other modules, they make efficient "space fillers" if you have empty utility module space.

Weapon control modules '''are useless when using guns'''. It does not matter how accurate the attack is, you will still miss if the UFO is no longer where it was when the bullet was fired. Use them with missile weapons for best results.

: '' Note, I'm still not entirely sure on that last bit. Because missiles are auto-homing projectiles, would the accuracy mods affect the missile turn speed? Jammers definitely reduce the speed by making them fly off in a wider circle. Needs some way of testing. - [[User:NKF|NKF]] ''

== Value Stacking ==

The abilities of the weapon control modules can be stacked, however every additional module of the same type will have its accuracy reduced incrementally more for every module of the same type that is installed. The N<sup>th</sup> module will have its power divided by N. This is known as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(mathematics) Harmonic Series].

For example:

* 1st module: 20% (20% / 1)
* 2nd module: 10% (20% / 2) with both modules adding 30% accuracy to the vehicle
* 3rd module: 6.66% (20% / 3) with all three modules adding 36% (36.66% rounded down) accuracy to the vehicle
* 4th module: 5% (20% / 4) with all four module adding 41% (41.66% rounded down) accuracy to the vehicle

The fractions are rounded down to an integer.

In short, the more modules of the same type that are installed beyond the first 2 reduce the overall effectiveness of the accuracy boost.

Light Weapons Control (Apocalypse)

2019-02-09T04:37:09Z

Svx: /* Value Stacking */ Corrected formula. It's a harmonic series not a geometric series.

the Light Weapons Control adds a 10% improvement to the overall accuracy of the weapons on a vehicle, allowing better target acquisition of stationary targets. It is the smaller of the weapon controls, requiring a 1 × 1 option slot. The [[Hoverbike (Apocalypse)| Hoverbike]] has a slot specifically for this module. It is also an excellent item to fill in any gaps in the option slots if there are any.

* 4th module: 2.5% (10% / 4) with all four module adding 20% (20.83% rounded down) accuracy to the vehicle

The fractions are rounded down to an integer.

In short, the more modules of the same type that are installed beyond the first 2 reduce the overall effectiveness of the accuracy boost.
