Ⓜ UFO crash mission: Tactical objectives

The problem in a scarce, repeating briefing and game scenario (arrange agents near the exit to UFO and wait) can be solved.
** ​​After issuing a briefing, arriving at the place and reading the situation (Look situations below) Headquarters and Squad Leaders can form tactical objectives that need to be solved to ensure the implementation of the mission. Fight against an unknown enemy is unpredictable and having changed. Strategic tasks and tactical priorities may change at any time, and insignificant tasks can turn into vital. **

** Examples of algorithms for the operation of tactical objectives (TO) **

🚩 1 TO UFO TAKEOFF

1. Trigger: Received information that the UFO is trying to take off (TO)
2. Trigger: Go to UFOs on 3 tiles, then you can find out that the UFO is trying to take off earlier (after TO is issued)
3. At the first level of UFOs there must be at least 3 agents to penetrate and hold it. If UFO is close to restoration and take off. (The timer starts) (after TO is issued)
   • (if the task is not completed) the next TO does not appear. The mission will be at risk and UFO will take off after a while.
4. Capture and hold the UFO control room. If UFO is close to restoration and take off. (Timer starts)
   • (if the task is not completed) the mission will be failed and the UFO will take off.

🚩 2 TO ANTI RAID

1. Trigger: Received information that an unidentified ship moves to the UFOs, an assault attempt (after TO is issued)
2. Take and hold the point N to avoid the attack from the edges of the card. At least 3 agents must have time to take and hold the point (points are located around UFO, 9 points after 40 degrees.) (Timer starts) (you need to have time to run to the point)
   • 30% chance that the culstist ship will change his mind to land troops
   • 50% chance that the marauder ship will change his mind to land troops
   • (if the task is not completed) the mission will be complicated by the departed gangs of marauders.
   • (if the task is not completed) the mission will be complicated Atrochetic cultists of Sirius who will replenish the strength of the aliens.

🚩 3 TO STOP MARAUDERS

1. Trigger: The information was received that the marauders had time to deal with the UFO where the crew was, apparently, almost killed when landing (the following TO is issued)
2. To take and hold the evacuation point N so that it is not possible to escape the marauders who captured the alien equipment ($). (you need to have time to run to the point)
   • (if the task is not completed) Marauders will be able to escape with the equipment ($) of aliens near the underlying buildings.

🚩 4 TO CANCEL DEMOLITION

1. Trigger: Received information that the aliens managed to leave the UFO and are sent to the point of evacuation. Perhaps they launched the overload mechanism (the following TO is issued)
2. Take and hold the UFO control room. Cancel UFO explosion, the aliens understood that the UFO could not restore, apparently, they launched the mechanism of overload and self-destructing UFOs and escaped. (Timer starts)
   • (if the task is not completed) the mission will be failed and the UFO will explode all agents in the UFO will die.

🚩 5 TO CORDON OFF ALIENS

1. Trigger: Information received that part of the aliens managed to leave the UFO and sent to the evacuation point (the following TO is issued)
2. Hold the evacuation point N so as not to give the aliens to escape and hide. (They did not manage to restore UFOs) (The timer begins to have time to reach the point and take it)
   • (if the task is not completed) the aliens will be able to escape from the UFO with their equipment ($) in the underlying buildings

🚩 6 TO TURN OFF THE FIELD

1. Kill part psimorph or micronoid aggregate To weaken psi-field (their psi-field is overwhelmed and strongly lowers morality, so Stamina and Bravery will noticeably save, first Stamina and after Bravery and Accuracy.) (Timer)
   • (if the task is not completed) Specifications Start degrading. The strength of the psi field of the aliens will break the psyche agents.

🚩 7 TO REMOVE SNIPERS

1. Remove snipers on the roof of UFO, they will interfere with the assault UFO

🚩 8 TO STORM AND PROTECT

1. Trigger: Information was received that the abducted people were contained in the UFO (after TO is issued)
2. Capture and defend a point with prisoners by people \ hybrids \ sectors \ vip so as not to give aliens to deal with them. (You need to have time to point)
   • (if the task is not completed) the aliens will be able to deal with the captives.

🚩 9 TO HIDDEN THREAT

🚩 10 TO THREAT OF EXPLOSION

🚩 11 TO BLOCKED UFO

1. The entrance to the UFO when landing was blocked and the aliens were locked in it.
2. Need to disassemble the blockage or find another way to get into the UFO

🚩 12 TK ALIEN REINFORCEMENT

1. Trigger: Information received that in buildings near the UFOs there are aliens who put forward to the rescue, an assault attempt is possible (after TO is issued)
2. Take and hold the point N to avoid the attack from outside. At least 3 agents should have time to take and hold the point (points are located around UFOs, 9 points after 40 degrees.) (Timer starts) (You need to have time to run to the point)
   • 20% the chance that the aliens will change their mind to attack
   • (if the task is not completed) The mission will be complicated by the help of new aliens from outside.

Ⓜ Types of missions UFO crash should be more diverse, for example:

1. Landing a damaged ship is a very difficult task and sometimes a UFO can simply explode without coping with the landing (leaving nothing).
2. A damaged UFO that has landed can be destroyed by the organization’s ship next to which the UFO fell.
3. After an air battle and an emergency landing, the corpses of aliens who died during the air battle and landing scattered inside the UFO should remain (most aliens are alive).
4. It may happen that a UFO will be visually badly damaged, and all that you find is a couple of units of unconscious survivors and a lot of corpses, or all will be dead.
5. It may happen that it will be impossible to recover the UFO and the aliens will scatter into the nearest buildings, the UFO will remain empty or there will be only a few spitters and multiworms.
6. Arriving on a mission to crash UFOs in slums, we can meet a team of numerous marauders of gang members (who will take aliens in number and leave a lot of corpses) who have already joined the battle from criminal organizations wishing to get alien technology, they can already be outside UFOs and kill several aliens, or already inside the UFOs and kill all aliens and share the prey (Use the weapons of aliens). It's up to you to either kill them or fly away.
7. 2 criminal gangs fighting among themselves or a police squad pursuing a criminal gang may also encounter. Gang members attack in groups of 8-20 - Osiron groups are the largest, Psyke groups are the smallest.
8. If a UFO crashed near an important public building on a mission, you will find the Security Guard squad holding back the alien forces from spreading.
9. Arriving on a mission, we can meet the members of the Cult of Sirius who flew in hoping to make contact and help the aliens. It's not for nothing that UFOpaedia says "This represents a significant threat to X-COM because the cultists will do anything to assist the Aliens in their purpose, whatever that might be." Aliens will infect micronoids and supply the cultists with their weapons and will use them as cannon fodder. Cult members fight in groups of around 10.
10. On a downed UFO, there may be sectoids for the rescue of which points will be awarded.
11. On a downed UFO, there may be people captured from neighboring buildings for food and for the salvation of which points will be awarded.
12. On the mission, there may simply be armed civilians belonging to some unregistered movements and not part of any corporations that are fighting against the total control of corporations (as private organizations, elevating a person over a person).
13. Next to the crashed UFO may appear a mission where aliens from UFO storm the building and security reflects the attack.
14. Around the crashed UFO can form dangerous abnormal zones (fire tornadoes, poison clouds, smoke, explosions) due to incorrect operation of the damaged ship.
15. UFO casing can be home to small insect-like creatures (eg Skincrawlers or Swarm) that mend the casing and can be dangerous to humans by eating or replacing flesh.
16. Each crew of a UFO ship (types 3-7) can have 1-2 Micronoid Aggregate.
17. Each UFO crew (types 3-7) can have 2-6 Micronoid Headwrappers or Micronoid Mentor.
18. Micronoid Headwrappers or Micronoid Mentor are 1/6 Micronoid Aggregate which are located on the head of other aliens and can carry out psi control of both agents and their carriers.
19. A combination of different types of the above changes.
