Unable to build Firestorm
I have reached the point where I have no research, completed the hyperwave relay, and have all the ample items and hangar space to create a firestorm but am unable to. Please help, I am unable to proceed to kill the ship, and am stuck doing unnecessary missions.

Try going to the situation room and see what it says as far as your mission objectives. You might've missed a step somewhere.

What is Engineering telling you that you require to build the Firestorm? Did you research UFO Power Source and Nav Computer? If so, then all you need are the materials.

Here's what I have as my requirements. I have a lot of engineers so it's cheaper for me at the moment.

I can verify that I have completed all possible research and the current mission objective is to build the firestorm. It says I require more space, but no matter how much I allocate, it won't allow construction.

You have 4 aircraft at your starting continent:) Just move or dismiss them. You can then make 3 leaving at least 1 guarding for the time being.

Oh wait nvm, just noitced you said you had enough hanger space:( Not sure how to help, sorry

I could be remembering wrong but I think when you build Firestorms they are build in the continent you started in so if you chose North America to start with for example you would need at least one hangar space open in North America.

If you have at least one hangar space open in all continents then I'd say game breaking bug, start over.

That's why my volume is always low. Heh.

The problem was that I was unaware the firestorm had to be placed in your continents base of operation, I thank Quilla for the insight. But I still love the angry comments about how they freak out xD

You may need to get rid of some of your other craft. If you have too many craft, it won't let you build.

Firestorm take up a lot of space, you can fit one per continent.

Already fixed, as described in my previous comment. Also, if you haven't already checked out the link, it will take you to my vlog site where I update my content daily, I am looking to grow my fanbase and need all the help I can get :)

Wait, what? I have 1 Firestorm on each continent and I can still build more. Not that I'd need to but still.

same here, I have a couple building right now as well, and will allow me to do so with no problems.
