Does it make sense to capture more the one from each kind?
For example: When I capture the first Arthron and research it, I will gain 10 % more damage.
What if I capture a second Arthron? Will I have another research with further 10 % or not?
Is there any gain in capturing more then one specimen of each alien?
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to See how many containment Slots are full or empty? As some Pandas need more than one Slot it would be good to know if enough slots are available before capturing the Pandas.
Align with Disciples of Anu to get access to mutation research. This in turn leads you to be able to build a mutation lab in your bases, and unlocks further research for mutagen harvesting. That’s the research you want. Exchanges your prisoners for mutagen which can be used to mutate your soldiers or build mutogs.
No, you can try aligning with DoA too (might be easier said than done depending on your current diplomacy levels) or if you don’t want to/don’t think you can, then you can always pilfer their research centres
But yes, without that particular research from DoA’s tech tree there’s no benefit to holding captives other than vivisections and goo/psychic/viral research.
