Illegal Flyers are vehicles which any organisation in Mega-Primus will use to attack a building. An alert is immediately generated (if enabled) when these vehicles are detected (message: "Illegal Flyer detected"). If these illegal vehicles pass close-by to any Police Hovercars parked randomly about the city, the police will engage in battle. If able to attack their designated target, the owners will retaliate by launching defenders using various styles of air vehicles. Road vehicles are never used. The illegal flyers are usually out-matched and are quickly eliminated. Intervention by X-Com is not necessary unless a base is under attack.<br>
			An illegal flyer detection always involves one or two vehicles which are selected from the organisation's vehicle park according to the following priority list:<br>
	~~Illegal~~ flyer ~~attacks launched by computer-controlled organizations normally consist of~~ two vehicles, selected from the organisation's vehicle park according to the following priority list: 1.

	Any organisation (including X-~~Com~~) can attack any building with vehicles. An alert is generated (if enabled) when other organisations send out craft, hence, "Illegal ~~Flier~~ detected". ~~Xcom~~ intervention is not warranted unless the building is above your base. Score is not affected unless ~~Xcom~~ is involved. [[~~Megapol~~]], ~~being~~ the ~~law in Mega-Primus~~, will not trigger the ~~alert of~~ "Illegal ~~Flier~~" since their actions ~~seem to be~~ justified as in 'upholding the law'.		Any [[organizations\|organisation]] (including X-COM) can attack any building with vehicles. An alert is generated (if enabled) when other organisations send out craft, hence, "Illegal Flyer detected". X-COM intervention is not warranted unless the building is above your base. Score is not affected unless X-COM is involved.

			Illegal flyer attacks launched by computer-controlled organizations normally consist of two vehicles, selected from the organisation's vehicle park according to the following priority list: 1. [[Police Hovercar (Apocalypse)\|Police Hovercar]]; 2. [[Phoenix Hovercar (Apocalypse)\|Phoenix Hovercar]]; 3. [[Hoverbike (Apocalypse)\|Hoverbike]]; 4. [[Valkyrie Interceptor (Apocalypse)\|Valkyrie Interceptor]]; 5. [[Hawk Air Warrior (Apocalypse)\|Hawk Air Warrior]]. However, one vehicle of each type, if available, will always remain in the vehicle park.<br>
			''Example #1: if the organisation has 2 Phoenix Hovercars, 1 Hoverbike and 2 Valkyrie Interceptors available, the attack will consist of 1 Hovercar and 1 Valkyrie''.<br>
			''Example #2: if the organisation has 1 Phoenix Hovercar, 5 Hoverbikes and 2 Hawk Air Warriors available, the attack will consist of 2 Hoverbikes''.

			[[Megapol]]'s Police Hovercars do not trigger the "Illegal Flyer" alert, presumably since their actions are justified as in "upholding the law". However, a Valkyrie or Hawk sent by Megapol ''will'' trigger the alert.

			The organisation that owns the attacked building will scramble flying vehicles to defend its asset. These will usually swiftly overwhelm and destroy the attackers.

	In times past, a common misconception was that Aliens could perform a "subversion" of an organisation via the "Micronoid Rain" effect. It was believed that such action of the UFO above the target organisation's building would immediately infect the inhabitants with Micronoids (hence "Micronoid Rain") and result in immediate 100% infiltration. This micronoid rain definition was proven to be incorrect. The purpose of the UFO and its 'rain' is to scan the building for an X-Com ~~base~~ (for future elimination). (see "Alien Search", above).
