Hi, I was just robbed of a stunned Sectoid Commander. I was assaulting an alien base, and this commander was actually roaming the hallways. I know it was a commander because I used a Mind Probe on it. Anyway, one of my soldiers stunned it using a Small Launcher (it took 2 stun bombs to do this). After about 20-30 turns later, I finally killed the last alien in the base, and my Skyranger returned home. I clicked on the Research button, and was shocked to see that "Sectoid Commander" was NOT in the list of new projects. What happened to him? I know for a fact that he did not wake up and walk away, because after each turn I looked at where he was stunned, and his body was still lying there. My questions are: - Is there a limit on the number of aliens you can have in one alien containment unit? - Do stunned aliens die after a long while? Also, is there a bug with saving a game during battle? I've tried this 3 times now, and 2 of those times the game crashed. Actually the game didn't literally crash, some big garbage text scrolled by and then the game said "Alien base still intact..." I'm running this game under genuine MS-DOS (not Win95 or OS/2 or anything). Thanks for any help. -- Visit my Utah Saints web site: http://members.xoom.com/slu/Utah_Saints/ Spencer Lu Email: spenc...@erols.com <--- Use this address when replying
