While playing APOC, and after completing my first  mission in the alien
dimension, I thought 'whooaa' that was easy, until I decided to re'enter to
confidently conquer the next assignment, when i got the shock of my life
 well almost ), their was literally hundreds of UFO's heading my way. To say
the least 'I got wasted' and I laughed my head off 'What the hell happend' I
thought.  Anyway, I would like as many of your experiance's, and the tales
of how ' you ' overcame these test of skills, and of course your tips on how
to defeat the alien dimension.

Hey, we have all been there. Best thing to do is to fly at low level, 
and hope for the best. Or if you don't mind the wait. Wait til you 
can research the ship shield. Your ships will then cruise through 
that pesky Dimnsion with no problems. 
Ps: I think my version of APOC has a bug. When I finaly researched 
the shielding for the ship, I had the oppertunity to sell the shield 
generator things, for hundreds of thousands. Also, I had thousand of 
the things. I don't know how. I only captured about two ships with 
the shields. Anyway, I sold most of them, became super rich, and 
bought every vehicle that was made. However, when I ran out of 
shields, I went to buy some, and there price had dropped right down.
Happened to anybody else?

Yes, I happened to me.  I ended up with enough money to ally with every
organisation about 40 times over...  It ruined it a little bit, but the
shields were clogging up my stores, so I had to do something with them.

When you say all these UFOs attacked you, do you mean attacked your
craft in the alien dimension, or attacked the city?

Doesn't make much difference, but here's how to stop the alien problem!

Get at least two Annihilators, armed with H. disruptors, SHIELDS, and
alien missiles.  Send them through to the alien dimension, knock off the
UFOs one by one (letting your shields fully recharge after each kill - a
safe place where they will not chase you is right at the bottom right
hand corner of the map).  Simple!  No more UFOs!

To damage their production, manually shoot all those crystals you can
see at the top of the map.  Apparently, those are the alien resources!

Also, after you destroy the fifth or sixth building, they stop building
UFOs anyway...so no problem!

Simon seems to not have completed the Alien Dimension.

I just sent in my ships repeatedly until there were nolonger any alien UFO
to be seen, took a couple weeks, but it was fun!
