Fox Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 This happened a long time ago, and another thread just sparked my memory. I remember once I tried to see what would happen if I brought an alien into the Triton and evacuated. I remember that the next mission was aquatoids, and when I walked out of the Triton, there was my Tasoth friend. He was under the control of the aliens, obviously, but he was unarmed. Am I remembering this wrong? It actually could have been that I stunned the alien, and had his body in the Triton, I really don't remember. Is this possible?

NCC-1701-F Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 LOL, he could become a permanent passenger............. kind of a mascot that you stun on the first turn........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maugan Ra Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I too have had one of these stowaways...just started a mission with a aquatoid in my inventory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 In the inventory? Hmm, that could be how it happened actually... a live Tasoth in the inventory, then it woke up. Do you have the saved game, Maugan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I think the alien in the inventory happens when all aliens are killed in the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 I'd really like to see some NKF input on this, heh heh. I.E., a book would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I don't have much to say on this topic. I've had corpses appear on my equipment pile before -- usually for shot down ships. I think I might have had an unconcious floater in UFO at one time too. If I remember correctly, it was a navigator. Apart from that, I have no idea why it's happening. - NKF P. S: Fox, are you sure the mission was strictly an aquatoid mission? It could have been a mixed crew. P. P. S: In UFO, evacuating while a concious alien is in your ship/exit pads, mind controlled or otherwise, will only result in you getting its equipment. The alien itself just vanishes. I don't know if the same is true for TFTD. P. P. P. S: A though occured to me. Perhaps the tasoth in the unit table and the 'tasoth corpse' in the item table weren't properly cleared. I'm thinking of something similar as setting a proximity mine and not using it by the end of a mission ends up passing its 'set proximity mine' flag onto another item (for the Collectors Edition). It's a million-to-one chance that both the item table and unit tables (both of them) weren't properly cleared when the mission started, but I suppose the possibiity is still there.

The Demi-Godly One Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I once had something like that happen to me, I had stunned a reaper in my skyranger. The next battle I found that four of my guys were transformed into the four corners of the reaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 Ha ha ha! That's classic. So when the guy's powers combined, did you get the Uber-Reaper bite attack? If not, then you should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Demi-Godly One Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 No, I got the weapons that the celitids have, the weird little stun bomb thing with 255 ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 Wow, that was the quickest response I've ever seen! Well, that is indeed odd. So were the soldier's names and stats all the same? Or did it say like, "Reaper Right Leg" or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Demi-Godly One Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 No the stats were all the same and so were the names. Although they could only move for as many time units as the reaper had, even though the bars told me they had some left.
