Killing aliens

Post by lyallp »

I noticed, that if you do not shoot aliens, you can simply run over their spawn points with your tank and pick up the alien artefacts.

The aliens ignore you, except for the ones that are buried in the ground, when you disturb them, but running over them, they seem to get a little upset.

Much easier than having to shoot your way in. (basically, don't wear personal laser defence, that shoots automatically and fires them up!)

Oh, I forgot, I took the whimps way out and have the aliens set to not attack without provocation, however, I would have thought running them over would be considered provocation.

Just wondering but do you got the settings so they don't attack first? Even then I thought they would go after you when you get too close

They only attack if you hurt them (or one of their species)

But apparently not when you run a tank through their house :p
They must have great insurance.
