You're not a multinational organization backed by the resources of the entire world trying to defend the entire world. You're a ragtag resistance force, with your primary mode of transportation being a lucky break in stealing Alien technology; X-COM can't just build a new Avenger to split their attention. They might not be able to build a new Skyranger!<br /><br />I'm finally getting around to playing Tactical Legacy Pack (I started playing on Switch and TLP was PC-only), and I just realized that the XCOM 2 basically implies that there were multiple Skyrangers being used by the original XCOM organization. Alien Hunters kind of hinted at it, but TLP more-or-less confirms it as being canonical.<br /><br />EU/EW was particularly silly about this, even including a token $20 item on your monthly costs for Skyranger maintenance (which I'm still not sure if it was put in there seriously as worldbuilding, or some kind of joke about the strange fact that there was just one Skyranger).Carlos M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00724030488394241024noreply@blogger.com
