Commander Problems!

Recommended Posts

My commander had the great opportunity to stun a Lobby Commander... Alien Colony... Put the commander in backpack, blows device to kingdom come.. runs like hell to entrance.. saves. returns home..

 

now the problem...

 

in the breafing... 1 live alien... ( had brough me a Lobby Navigator too ) so i started wondering what the problem was...

 

entered research... it was the navigator... loads mission... get rid of the navigator and returns home.. no alien alive... What the heck I thought...

 

so.. hopefully i will get that commander soon or im going berserk... don't wanna restart again.. anyone who might think they know how to solve this.. should I get the next base and hope for the best? or to the not-so-fun thing and restart?

Get a copy of the Alien containment editor. Not for cheating but to check out what the game files say you have.. get rid of anything you have allready researched. on the next attempt save before you stunn the commander. then if it glitches again you can send me a copy of the save and I might be able to repair the files so they work.

How did you know it was a commander? Both navigators and commanders appear in the command center.

im pretty sure its a commander if it says "Lobsterman Commander" when you click on it.. and there was 2 commanders 1 navigator.. 1 commander died ( strangely :angel: ) the second got stunned... so im sure its a commander.. but now its happened again.. cant get any live alien home alive.. even if they appear in the Mission debrief... sigh... gotta check the things tho..

Haha... I see the problem here. He most likely MCd the Commander and then stunned it. REMEMBER: If you Molecular Control and alien and THEN stun it, it counts as one of your guys stunned, and wont come through as a Commander capture. Instead, MC it and then wait a turn so it's an enemy again, then you can stun it ok.

well.. the thing is.. yes I MC:d them to know where they were... then the turn after ( when they were back to their natural ) i stunned them.. so that wouldn't be the case... but then we have this.. that I cant get any live alien home anymore :)

MC - Mind Control, or to be more accurate: Molecular control, which is the same thing, really.

 

Curiously enough, on a colony assault, if you've got any stunned soldiers, even on the exit pads, you tend to lose them as well.

 

Have you tried dropping the alien onto the exit pads before aborting? Just an odd thought.

Hmm, I wonder what are the chances that the game accidentally swapped the names of the units? How about bringing a navigator to the exits instead? :)

 

Do you still have the savegame?
