Getting the Micronoid

[Stun Grenade]

Where can i find them, eg. which UFO?

[NKF]

You can find them on Bomber class UFOs. Those are the green UFOs that make mincemeat of your hoverbike swarms with their multibombs.

 

You can also get Micronoids in the very first alien building.

 

By the way - you must use stun grapples to capture them. From all the attempts I've made, they don't take any damage from stun gas. If the grapples don't seem to be working, wound the micronoid a bit. Controlled shots from M4000's are good for this.

NKF, the reason y i haven't seen one is becuase im not ready to enter the dimension yet and the bomber is always with another bomber and 2 other crafts so i can never catch them..

Your best bet is to get your micronoid in the first building then. This way, you can approach the battle in a leisurely manner and needn't rush as you normally would with a crashed UFO.

 

Or, you could, much later, wipe out the alien's UFO force and let them rebuild their ships. At the start of every week, (as long as you haven't destroyed the control centre building) after you've wiped out their ships, the aliens will always build about 4 - 5 new UFOs (4 is the most common, but if you get 5, three of them would be the type 1's). There's almost always a bomber in the reconstructed fleet. Leave them alone and let them enter the city.

if you have a specialist psi team, use them to stun the micronoid with the mind bender. much easier and at a safe distance (from other aliens). hey, i even mind control micronoids for fun if you get what i mean.

Is mind-controling the Micronoids even logical?

If you say it's possible I believe you,but it still seems strange.

[NKF]

Not really, but it is possible if you have high enough psionics (and curiously enough, you can use them to mind control other units for you too!). You might even get 2% chances. That's two times out of 100 tries... not many, but still possible.

 

Personally, I've never been able to achieve such high levels of psi-skill via conventional means.

really now? the only cheating i did for that mess-around game i did was reloading. it didn't take that many loads. maybe. i think. i can't remember though i know it was fun.
