[Failbird105]

felt like throwing out a distant future design.
Drone Hive
A large, podlike machine designed to house and control multiple small groups of "Swarm Drones". Small very simple and unarmored drones that are worthless alone but dangerous in groups. They come in three types, a stun type, a saw type, and an explosive type. The stun variety has the electric stun unit of our scout drones, the saw variety has a brutal energy enhanced buzzsaw, and the explosive variety act as micro-missiles or remote mines and are basically just grenades that fly.

My own drone


Bloat Pod

By taking the dna of the Chrysslid and storing their eggs within a tiny life support statsis pod, these pod shape drones fly across battle field with combat tentacles, said contact injects unfortunate target with chrysslid and in doing so jump starts the breeds cycle for them.

Yep, flying drone for alien injections. My take on terror weapon.

[Failbird105]

Eh, I think it would be easier and more effective to just make regular Chryssalids.

[Tyrant Leviathan]

Okay. That’s fine too. Just thought something flying doing it would be awesome.

Mission 1
Mission Type: Recruit Collaborators.
Craft(s): 1 Small Scout (Free), 2 Medium fighter (4VP)
Unit loadout: 2 Sectoid (2xPlasma Pistols, 2xElerium Grenade) (2UP, 2EP)
  2 Skin Crawlers, Infiltrated (6-2=4UP)
Destination: Australia

Mission launched

Spoiler: Equipment (click to show/hide)

Vehicles

Small scout : One of the tiniest vessels at your disposal, the Small scout is both cheap and reliable. Powered by a single Elerium core, the vessel makes decent speed, while carrying up to 2 units to their destination. It's equipped with a plasma turret for self defense . Cost : 1 VP  [1 free Small scout]

Light fighter : Roughly half the size of a Small Scout, the Light fighter is a small craft that can be slaved to a nearby UFO to defend it. It's armed with 3 forward firing plasma guns, giving it a decent amount of firepower. Like the small scout, it is powered by a single Elerium core that gives it decent speed. Cost : 1 VP

Medium fighter Roughly 3 quarters the size of a small scout, the medium fighter is a small automated craft capable of independent operation. It's armed with 3 forward firing plasma guns, giving it a decent amount of firepower. Powered by an enlarged Elerium reactor, it's small size gives it greatly superior speed and maneuverability. Cost : 2 VP

Equipment

Plasma Pistols : A basic simple sidearm that has been used in many pacification operations. The plasma pistol is a dependable bit of equipment that is light but not particularly powerful.

Elerium Grenade : The elerium grenade is powerful handheld explosive. Cost : 1 EP

Meld Container : A container filled with the precious Meld, a substance that consists out of billions of cybernetic nanomachines that automatically capture, catalogue and analyse any foreign DNA they find. Greatly increases the effectiveness of recovery operations. If capture threatens, the container will perform an auto-sterilization cycle.  Cost : 1 EP

ECM equipped flight computer : A modified flight computer that can mimic a larger ship or deceive missiles (sometimes), at the cost of shutting of the flight computer.
Cost : 0

Aliens
Sectoid : A formerly weak species with a limited capability for the gift. Nonetheless, their simple biology allows to easily clone these creatures and deploy them in great numbers. Integration of human DNA has brought their strength up to par with human baseline.
    - Reversable Mind Merge: Merge minds with an organic, intelligent friendly or enemy, giving or drawing upon them for strength
Cost 1 UP

Scout drone : A small but fast scout drone armed with powerfull short range non-lethal weaponry and powerfull sensors. Effective at hunting down humans as well as spotting threats, but lightly armored.
Cost 1 UP or 1 EP

Skin Crawler : An infiltrator unit capable of mimicking human form (more or less). Has 8 claw equipped tentacles and is capable of using most handheld technologies.
Cost 2 UP (+1 UP if infiltrated [Infiltrated units require no transportation, but can not use equipment]) [2 UP worth free] 

Mission Profiles

Harvest: A simple mission profile that involves a UFO landed in a secluded area to capture humans other lifeforms for analysis in the main base.

Recruit Collaborators : A more complex mission profile that relies on the insertion of infiltrating units to make contact and recruit potential collaborators.

Alien Resources

3+1 VP

ECM Generation 2.0:

Our current form of electric countermeasures against the enemy's radar and guided system is too ill-effective to have any actual usage for our combat crafts. The main improvement we done with an entire rework of our ECM is that it can be activated for any time during aerial combat without inhibiting our ships from having to move in subsonic speed in a straight line. The integration of this technology into the flight computer rather than it being a simple deviation from the technology, is that both the ECM and flight computer can work in conjunction with each other allows them to function in tandem allowing both to be activated in the same time. Future modification have also went into the radar distraction in which we can make a smaller ufo appear as a larger one by creating a false or amplified electrical signature. This will allow our ufos to masquerade as a larger craft, there has been minimal effort in even allowing a craft to condense their electrical signature to appear smaller on radar, but not in the visible light sense. However this isn't the priority of the revision, but rather to make sure the ECM and the flight computer can work in conjunction is the main thing that needs to be addressed.

If you want better lids, do the thing I posted.

@shadowclaw I'm assuming you're voting for your own proposal as well.

Not really a Contest...

[Tyrant Leviathan]

The true contest is where to go from here. New soldier, gun, and etc.

[BBBence1111]

Xeno-Hydralid?

Can't go wrong with that.

Xeno-Hydralid?

Well the true issue is to Armor our troops and when. Terror units are handy but we also need bases and stuff.

[piratejoe]

If we get new troops, we should get Vipers or Mutons. Or at least try to get them. Both of them have armour so...you know. If we want new robotic troops, Seekers or Cyberdisks.
