no, that's fusion ball (and it's launcher. Which you for some bizzare reason markes a a Squad Weapon) [/b][/quote]
1. I didn't make the tech tree;
2. First you have to research "Fusion Missile" to unlock "Fusion Ball Launcher" + Ammo;
3. Fusion Ball Launcher works both as a Craft Weapon and Squad Weapon (Hovertank/Launcher)

Command Room

Braindead - *snooooooooooore*
Kosta is making paper airplanes and throwing them around the room.
Titan enters the room and is poked by a plane in the eye.
- Ow! Who threw that?
- Ummm... he did. *points at Data*
- Huh?
- Riiight... anyways, the monthly reports have come in.

- What, it's July already? Damn, that month was boring.
- Yes. Anyways, things aren't looking too good. With all the extra staff and facilities, our funding has dropped far into debt.
- Well, we can always sell alien artefacts.
- We already have to make our funds positive for this month, but we're running out of artefacts to sell.
- We'll just keep selling laser rifles. Hire more engineers if you have to.
- Yes sir.

Oh, and here's a rundown of what has been done which I might haven't mentioned and you might be interested in knowing.

STUFF RESEARCHED:
- Snakeman Navigator
- Hyperwave Decoder
- Alien Origins
- Sectoid Leader
- Elerium-115
- UFO Power Source
- Power Suit
- Psi-Lab
- Psi-Amp

STUFF BEING RESEARCHED:
- UFO Navigation > Flying Suit
- The Martian Solution > Alien Commander > Cydonia or Bust

STUFF BUILT:
- Hyperwave Decoder

STUFF BEING BUILT:

Also, here's why we're losing lots of money:

There, how's that for lots of statistics in one post? ;)

Think we could get corporate sponsors for our aircraft like they do in NASCAR? ("Large UFO spotted over Istanbul!" "Roger, send up the Pennzoil Budweiser Home Depot Nabisco Expedia.com Interceptor to knock it down!") I think it could work, and the additional paperwork would keep me from singing in the barracks so much.

Pah, rules are made to be broken :ok:

That's true. Rules are also made to make new rules.

- Sir, the new Hyperwave Decoder has just detected a UFO over Central Asia.
- Hmmm, let me see what's so good about this new facility.

- Nice. Craft Type, Race, Mission, this will be very useful to us. Good gravy, a terror mission? Intercept it immediatly!
- Right away.

Interceptor-1 and Interceptor-2 are launched and head towards the UFO. As soon as they get close enough to it, they fire their Avalanche missiles and Plasma beams.

The UFO also strikes back, severely damaging one of the interceptors, but eventually they hit the engines and the UFO crash lands.

Skyranger-1 is launched and heads for the crash site.

Edit: GASP! This has been pinned! :D

Way to go in preventing that terror mission! :Brain:

WOOTLE! This thing ROCKS!
Can I get one too? PLEASE?

Exactly what are you talking about? The Hyperwave Decoder? You need to research a Live Navigator to get it.

Mission 24: Terror ship UFO-40
Skyranger-1 VS Floaters, daytime

This mission is being taped in front of a live audience.

L.O.L heads down the ramp first, spotting a reaper to the west and firing an auto shot, but misses them all.
*laughter*

Magic goes next and also fires an auto shot at it, but even though he hits all of his shots, the reaper still stands.

Deathdude takes a shot at it and finally kills it.
*applause*

*next turn*

Duckpatch spots a reaper southeast of the Skyranger and kills it.

Dang it, I'm on Skyranger-2 now! How come Ranger 1 gets all the good things and when 2 DOES get something, my dude sits with his seatbelt on like a good boy :blink:
