UPDATE 30
The intrepid Team Potato prepares to assault yet another Large UFO.
Gondolin locates the UFO and the first hostile.
ironyuri makes it go boom.
Here's another Floater.
After BLOBEERT weakened it, Roxorowicz finishes it off.
JoKa discovers a Floater inside the pyramid.
It's a very dead Floater now.
This creep tried shooting at Gondolin's tank!
Resident sniper Merk takes care of it.
These two managed to actually scratch the tank's paint!
BLOBEERT kills one, and Merk finishes off the other.
Hostile spotted!
ironyuri's precision autocannon fire brings it down!
Another pyramid, another Floater.
Another Floater corpse.
PrzeSzkoda spots one more alien.
One less alien it is!
Toastboy spots...
...and dispatches a Floater.
This alien apparently came to see what happened to the other one.
It kills Hellraiser before he can dispatch it! RIP Hellraiser IV
Toastboy avenges his squadmate.
Roxorowicz discovers an alien. He uses eklektyk's favourite method of killing the scum
Sergiu67 spots a Floater. He fails to kill it.
The Floaters act sheepishly. The one with clear view to Sergiu67 doesn't move an inch. Another one descends
the alien lift and... freezes before toastboy.
Both soldiers deal with their foes.
Roxorowicz sees a Floater lurking among the canisters.
He swiftly kills it.
Toastboy has a gift for the Floaters.
Enamoured by the gift, the Floaters agree to end the mission.
Hellraiser V joins Team Potato.
The lazy-ass Team Kwa finally begins a mission.
TK47's new rocket tank rides forth and locates the UFO... with a Floater next to it.
After both Azira, Hartman and Jaedar fail to blow the shit out of it, it is Ripper himself who brings it
down!
RK47's camera feed reveals a Floater atop the UFO.
The creature becomes kazgar III's first kill!
This Floater tried shooting RK47's tank AND survived two rockets fired back at it!
But Ripper saves the tank.
Meanwhile Jaedar spots...
...and kills one on the other side of the UFO.
A Floater has been spotted moving here. There is only one way to deal with it.
Surprise surprise. The solution worked...
poundedanus discovers multiple hostiles inside the alien craft.
It takes the concentrated fire of three soldiers to bring the closer Floater down! We can't do anything
about the further one, I fear poundedanus is lost.
He is indeed! RIP poundedanus
Jaedar spots his squadmate's killers.
He kills one, and U-Cat deals with the other.
Ending the mission.
An UFO is detected, but it flees before an Interceptor can be launched.
Due to a missile crisis in EuroCOM, Drakron is sent all the way to Europe to bring this UFO down.
An UFO is detected over the Atlantic, but we're in no position to deal with it.
Because Team Kwa was so lazy with refuelling their Skyranger as to miss a Battleship and two Large UFO missions, they'll be running errands for quite some time now.
This time it's KickAss behind the tank's controls. The Floater he spotted took two rockets to bring down.
And here comes its mate.
Hartman and Azira both failed to blow it up, so KickAss rescued their arses.
He also located the UFO.
An alien grenade-analog landed at the Skyranger's ramp. Fortunately it merely wounded Hartman and scratched the tank.
KickAss spots the likely culprit...
As Hartman retaliates, he fails to kill it, but gets one that was hiding behind it.
Azira finishes the job.
Jaedar stabilises Hartman.
This Floater damaged the tank. KickAss is not happy.
The damned thing survives two direct rocket hits. On the bright side, a death cry is heard, meaning another one was hiding near it.
Slips approaches the resilient alien cautiously and blasts it to hell!
This one tried shooting U-Cat, who was fortunately taking cover in a building.
Another dead Floater coming up!
Jaedar storms the UFO, discovering two aliens.
He brings both down with a single round of autofire!
Ending the mission.
A small UFO is detected, but disappears from the radar before Drakron can catch up with it, and then...
...this happens
