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. ============================= >From Simon Trowman Please replace NOSPAM with clara

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?

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! Raille.
