Mission Types
Alien Abductions
- Mission Objectives
- Sweep the abduction site and identify threats
- Neutralize all hostile targets
- An Alien Abduction is any battle where no civilians are involved and aliens of most any type can be found terrorizing a town. There is no UFO crash or UFO landing involved, so you will not be recovering a lot of artifacts from this type of battle. You should expect aliens to be spread throughout the entire map and sweep it accordingly.
UFO Crash Site
- Mission Objectives
- Locate the crashed UFO
- Sweep the area for surviving crew and neutralize them
- Avoid additional damage to the craft if possible; some components may be recoverable
- A UFO crash site occurs when your Interceptor or Firestorm successfully shoots down a UFO. There are many different UFO types: Small Scouts, Large Scouts, Supply Ships, Battleships, and Overseers. A Skyranger is sent immediately after downing the UFO. The battlescape is usually set at night in a remote area (there are usually no buildings involved). The aliens are usually not too far from the actual crash site but they will be expecting you since you shot them down. You may encounter aliens as close as your first move when you step away from the Skyranger. You'll encounter any alien type in a crash site battle. Once the UFO is found, you will notice substantial damage. This damage is reduced once you start using EMP cannons on your aircraft. Aliens are almost always found closely guarding the UFO and it is almost guaranteed that you will found Aliens somewhere in the UFO. Be careful not to use explosives inside the UFO so you do not damage artifacts that bring big bucks on the Gray Market or can be used for constructing your own weapons.
UFO Landing Site
- Mission Objectives
- Locate and neutralize all enemy forces
- Locate and gain entry to the UFO
- Instead of this battle beginning with a dogflight in the skies, a UFO landing site is discovered via the council of nations or by an orbiting satellite. The aliens are not aware that you are closing in on them so they could be anywhere on the map around the UFO doing whatever it is that they do. You often find aliens much further from the UFO site in comparison to a UFO Crash Site. Expect to see any of the Alien race types. The UFO is undamaged, so try to keep it that way. Many undamaged artifacts can be found on this type of mission. Expect to always find Aliens somewhere on the UFO.
Alien Terror Attack
- Mission Objective
- Approach civilians to enable evacutions
- Minimize civilian casualties
- Neutralize all hostile targets
- Text
Extraction
- Mission Objective
- Escort the target to the extraction point
- Protect the target at all costs
- Text
Rescue
- Mission Objective
- Find the Target
- Escort the target safely to the extraction point
- Protect the target at all costs
- Text
Asset Recovery
- Mission Objectives
- Sweep the area of operations
- Eliminate all opposition
- This mission type is rare, but occasionally the Council will ask you to remove all the aliens from a particular area. This mission is nothing more than an Alien Abduction mission assigned to you by the Council. There is no one to escort, no one to rescue, no bombs to deactivate and no civilians involved.
Bomb Disposal
- Mission Objectives
- Deactivate the bomb before it goes off
- Delay the detonation countdown by deactivating the bomb's power sources
- Prevent reactivation by eliminating all remaining opposition
- Text
