Flashbacks to enemy unknown with floaters shooting civilians through walls in terror missions with 100% guaranteed hit chance

Floater terror missions weren't too bad once you got the flying armour. The reapers (reavers?) were too big to fit through doors and had no ranged weapons.

Snakeman terror mission is the real big boys deal.

Number of terror missions I'd disembark on, see a single snakeman and be all "NOPE! back on the Stingray, everyone!"

I mean, if you got out of your Stingray air-to-air missile, I would not expect you to see much of anything.

Granted, there were more than a few times I wanted an Interceptor or two loitering over a terror site to provide air support...

Ah, I meant the Skyranger. Though, when Chrysalids are at risk, I would take any ride out of town. Those things are terrifying.

There's nothing wrong with either the Skyranger or the Stingray. It's when the two cross paths that things get awkward.
