Yes i can, because i'm the Incappucciato d'Ombra and from the shadows i can do all
*return serious*
Well, it's a waste, i agree, but only at the beginning, after the firsts 5-6 months it's however a waste..... but of time and not of precious thing. Consider that we are talking of :
1) shotdown at least 3-4 battleship (and various other minor Ufo)
2) send a transport to recover
every Ufo
3) when alien attempt to sign a pact, all the ufos appears with little distance (in term of time) one from the other and always land in proximity of the nation capital.
This means : only in the best one of the cases, when all things goes well, you can do all of this. In the other cases (pratically always) you must use the bug (or trick) that prevent the disappearance of the ufo after some time.
Imho, a work so gigantic that it is not worth the pain :tai:
Finally, as far as saved games, i know that it's always better to save often but in this case it's useless.
Aliens tries to sign a pact with nations when player act well, therefore if you reload a previous saved game, can happens :
1) Aliens try to sign a pact with another nation (this happens often)
2) Aliens try to sign a pact with the same nation (very rare..... but if happens --> :wallbash: :wallbash: )
3) Aliens try to sign a pact next month. (in this case, sometimes with 2 nations, and this means --> :wallbash: but not in a symple wall, directly onto Hoover Dam :tai: )
4) Aliens do nothing, but only if after reloading player loses points, for example another Ufo appear with different mission (like harvest or terror mission) and it's successfull. In this case Aliens takes points, player loses points and there's no more need, for aliens, to sign a pact. But next month it's possible that some nations decide to lower subsidies to x-com :tai:
