# of ufos landing? 3 ufos in one day?!

[jesse.largent]

What are the number of UFO'S landing that people are typically seeing? I just had three land within two days apart of each other and then about 3 months later 3 more UFO's land all within a few days of each other. Is this typical or am I cursed? Playing as resistance, year 2035, i think further along on my research track, the alien threat level is only one green pip.

It's not a big deal. I don't think I have had three but I have had two in the same day before.

If you are short of OP's don't bother investigating. Otherwise it gives a 1% bonus to alien research per site you investigate.

scroll over your alien threat meter and see when it was last updated >;3

realize its probably never updated since 2022.

also thats about normal, they're just delivering their agents, iirc its like, every factions goal to kill one, so those are probably the replacements

If you zoom out on the solar system map every now and then you should be able to see what's incoming, 1 Assault Carrier = 1 Landing. You can then either try to shoot them down in earth orbit (using pincer move) or at least have a few months warning

Not a crashed ufo....a carrier ufo with 3 7. militech armies each, It was updated a year ago and the most I did in that year was destroy one ship to get that mission goal.

Alien invasion is on a separate timeline to your threat meter / retaliation

But fighting back against them will raise your threat level

I'm not sure if it's possible to get it back down after defeating an invasion.. I just considered that to be start of full war stage

I had them land 15 armies in a short time in my last game. So it does happen. Not sure what factors are at play here, but so far in my current game they have not done that and I am further in the game.

While the did land 21 armies total, not in quick succession and I blew them all up with nukes and my USA 6.6 tech armies.

Get ready for a fight and warm up the nukes...

Also they fixed a bug with aliens building more then one landing mission at a time, so if you are not on the beta it might not have been fixed in your game yet.

So my main question is...is 3 ufos in one day like this typical or is this unusual? looking at other posts I tend to see people have only 1 carrier ufo land at a time.

It's typical, but the first invasion is probably(?) just one ship so that's what more people post about

seems normal. I had 3 in a day around the same date, then 3 again a few years later, then 3 again. Seemed to have stopped in 2040's though. after a blew up a few of their circling fleets.

[Reizo Icefield]

I had 4, and two months later another 4.
Once thay start they will send more and more carriers, aslong they can aford it.

Also destroying the army generate less hate than destroying their territory. So its better to spawn camp the army.

or if you have councilors with really high command and got research in assualt alien assets tech, get them to raid the spaceships for what they have. you will really need to stack the deck, the average difficulty is like 40-45, but its a great way to score ships without risking too much assets if you are willing to take a risk.

I had 3 in my game as well, but I don't know what factors into their strength. I just figured its the randomized starting resources, and the aliens got a lucky spread of them near their starting spot.

Fun update. 2040, just landed 8 invasion UFOs spread across multiple regions. 24 Alien armies spread across middle east, central america, and asia.

[ulzgoroth]

I haven't exceeded 2 landers in one day, but I would have if I didn't blow up the invasion transport groups.

Good luck, bro. Hopes you have a strong military or good stockpile of nukes :)
