rocksk Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I am sure someone had done this before. Ok set mag to power 255 The idea is to destory the base in total destruction. We know alien base have multi level and seaching for the last alien is a pain so the idea is to blow every thing up. Bring lots of them. Mission start, all troops is to go to top level. Throw one mega for each level for each room. Set the timer to one turn different and run drop them together and run. Turn 1first explosive explosed and the rest of the mega drop one floor down Turn 2second explosive explosed and the rest of mega drop one floor down until all floor is bombed. Best perform all at onces so that all alien will be dead in one turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Suped up the rifles in Ufo once. Had 255 rounds of 255 HE ammo and 1% auto shot. Took out walls in alien base easily. You just need to be at least 20 tiles from point of impact though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Why not set the laser pistol/rifle damage to 255 and damage type to HE? Don't even need clips then. 255 HE Gauss pistols are excellent for TFTD. Sure they're inaccurate -- but who needs accuracy when you're firing a triplet of 255 HE bullets? I did this in Apocalypse with the mini launcher. Completely blew away a UFO on the ground (literally), then went on to repeat this with a slum block. The game speed turned to treacle because of the enormous amount of smoke. Enormous fun, if that's what you're after. But you tend to get jaded after a while. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKF Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Hah, nothing like it is now! Back then I was playing Apocalypse on a pentium 133mhz, with 8 megs of Ram (SIMM - yes, old!), with Win95 in the background (goodness knows why I didn't just boot straight to pure dos mode to free up some memory). Later I popped the ram up to 16, but it still slows down terribly if there's too much going on. Have to use the single level viewing mode most of the time just to get things moving whenever I use far more explosives/gas weapons than one would normally consider as a healthy amount. Otherwise, a truly excellent system for playing TFTD and UFO on though. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 ahh...i remember that now! i have heaps of poppers in one mission and i used heaps in inc. ammo with my auto cannon. had to resord to using single view as well. anyways, back on topic. how about using 255 power on pistol? : Mwhahahahahahahaha!

rocksk Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 Actually i am thinking of clearing the alien base fast. It takes ages to clear on base. Had been in this alien base for 3 hours already. Blowing up every thing sound very fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksk Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 Oh ya, tested the idea of using High explosive to blow up levels, it do no work. The floor survived a 250 explosion. So does the lob man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
