Question from new member (maybe stupid... but sorry)

Hello, everybody!

 

I play UFO: Aftermath for some time and I must say that this game is one of best RTS game that I ever play. I haven't try other UFO titles but soon after completion of this game I'll try it.

 

One thing bothering me! What is the purpose of UFO intecepting? I menaged to shoot down alien ships dozen of times but after securing the ships( what you do all time) I did not see the purpose doing this anymore. Yes, you get the alien weapons, but that's it. I have never experienced any aerial threat from this flying things or something like that, (even when the base-like or battleshp-like ship ran through my territory). So what's the point of intercepting? I think that UFO: Aftermath will do it quit well without intercepring. Am I wrong?

IIRC, intercepting UFOs mainly helps to prevent the aliens from installing bases or worst on Earth.

Then you'll be even more happy with Aftershock; but for me this small feature is missing.
