Long War UFO Crew Members?

[VOLUME SHOOTER]

Is there a guide or wiki to explain what amounts of aliens and different types are in each UFO. I shot down a medium raider and got my ass kicked by like 10 seekers, a Hollow disk destroyer with its pesonal 5 man drone army, 4 outsiders and 3 sectoid commanders. I could handle most of them but i was flat out dominated by sectoid commanders. i thought they couldnt show up until unlocked when you get to a certain part of the story

Welcome to Long War, where the bad guys like to mess with you. Apart from the large groups of Outsiders I have universally found on the transports/abductors, the aliens on each ship do tend to be pretty random in their type, and occaisonally in number also. Swear I had a scout with a Cyberdisk + drones, 2 Muton Berserkers + 2 normal mutons and half a dozen Heavy Floaters once... man that sucked..

For this and many questions like it

------------------------
LW there is only one alien that is story locked.

Be aware that the ships contingent is not fixed like vanilla. Also as the game progresses you will see more mixed squads. By this I mean you could find pods of 3 outsiders a sectoid commander and a Crysallid Queen.

Hell I've seen 3 Commanders, 5 outsiders 2 heavy floaters and some seekers as a single pod. Happily patroling around the transport ship that had landed.

In vanilla you will not see mixed pods. The muton Beserker and Muton pod and Cyberdisk drone pod is actually a fixed pod and is awlays the same.

big ships have around 45-50 aliens and the commander pod is often very large. The commander pod can spawn anywhere on the ship and is not neccassarily the ousiders. When you engage a commander pod other active pods will converge on you as well.

Its not vanillia.

not going to spoil it for you, if its in the readme you are supposed to know about it. Can't recall if they warned you about all the changes. but its not vanillia.

the long war wiki has answers to your questions I think.

Nope.

BUT . . .

What you got hit by is a trap UFO. In LW, one of the UFO mission types loads them up with aliens and sends them out to land to entice you to raid it.

Get the hyperdecoderthingy and you'll get a list of what's on the UFO so you will be able to see when their trying to spring a trap.

And don't forget - you can always choose to ABORT.

One time i crashed a fighter and sent a team of 8 of my best guys, only to have to kill 3 floaters and an outsider. I was so pissed cus i had 8 guys now fatigued for that.

So then i shoot down another fighter, and this time i only sent 4 guys, and it turned out there was 3 berserkers, 3 seekers, 4 mutons, a cyberdisk with 3 drones, and 6 floaters and an outsider. And almost all of them were spawned together.
I lost two good soldiers that time, but i did manage to pull through, barely.

....one was a flashing armored one and the other wasn't and you didn't notice.

you learn to notice things in Long War. Or you waste alot of resources. although Beagle isn't that observant or whatever but he still manages because he's lucky as all get.
