That said, even the fairly basic missions are getting quite difficult now... It seems as if the Morelmen are tooling themselves up with Advanced Alien Lasers and plasma weaponry along with human sniper rifles that outrange pretty much every weapon I've seen :o( > > I had a few guys in Alien Armour, as well as sun armour (haven't tied > Sky Armour yet) and was pissed of to notice they weren't as good as > combat armour (although lighter, and cooler looking...) > How have you managed to get Alien Armour so quickly? Or am I just being slow at research (I've not really got the hang of R&D yet... it's just not intuitive enough for me *sob*) For that mission I'd rather have the speed than the heavier armour, however I've not managed to get more than two people past the wall so my tactic may not be the most affective ;o) - Malc
