The actual objectives are (so far, at least) retrieve downed UFOs, retreive landed UFOs, go to a location and retreive a specimen of an alien, retreive a pilot after his plane gets shut down (after attacking a UFO), retrieve an item, clear an area of all aliens, clear out a military base (in 2 parts - get to the entrance, then enter the base and clear it) and attack an alien base (similar to before). I'm not that far into the game, though, and I'm sure there are more mission types there, as well as other mult-part missions. -- Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes ! They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses ! And what's with all the carrots ? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway ? Bunnies ! Bunnies ! It must be BUNNIES !
