By reverse engineering those ships would that make the construction of my ship faster?

Yes, and anyone else who can shoot down and recover an alien vessel.

So, it is an invasion then?

I now see a reason to group up multiple "special" units without it being OP now.

If people put aside their differences then that could work. Setting up an elite task force could be very effective.
@Fishman Lord And dude i get that you don't like the concept of aliens invading right now, some people besides you probably agree with that stance. However, like i said, prior to that announcement of "their here" there was two weeks of them approaching. At that second week it was the point of no return since it was set in stone. Since nobody complained about it in the first week, i continued with it. Now it's happening.

Uggggh please don't tell me this is gonna be one of those. "If we work together it all works out! Yay teamwork!" Humanity bands together to fight off the evil invaders, those are vomit inducing plots.
I'm not the biggest fan of it either, mostly because you've given us a 9000000000000000/1 chance of maybe winning this war. And I know that's more realistic than some movies, but it's not terribly fun for most people to see everything they've built destroyed in seconds because "lol aliens, lol plot, muh story, muh drama."

1. Ow, muh feelings......
And no i was just presenting the idea of it. Basically an international task force could be made..........after we've successfully acquired their tech and reverse engineer it for our own and do all sorts of shenanigans with it. And yes, i do aim for this invasion to be semi-realistic, but of course i want us to win (although i am still going to be giving it like....... 60 to 75% on the throttle with duh aliens). Now i do admit i did do this for plot and story element, but like i said, i would like to all of unite and fight off these bastards.

An international task force taking alien technology and reverse engineering it to fight off a collection of alien races invading Earth to incorporate it into a galaxy spanning empire. That's literally the plot of XCOM in a nutshell xD

Why is it that when the Argentinians, who have a vastly different culture than their overlords, have a rebellion, they suddenly decide that they like their overlords, but when the Australians, who actually have a very similar culture to their overlords, have a minor rebellion, suddenly every single citizen is up in arms? Why is it that New Zealand, who joined their overlords willingly, suddenly want to rebel, yet the Arabians, Indians, and Chinese who all had no say in joining their overlord country are all hunky-dory? Why is it that whenever the Eclipsians invade, all the citizens say "Oh joy! How I love our new leader, I couldn't be happier!", yet when the Rockians invade, "Oh no, I don't like these people! If only Byron-man could save me!" Why is it that EVERY SINGLE Eclipsian military effort succeeds, yet even when the Rockians have a home turf advantage, and high morale, and good supplies, and excellent leaders, they lose? Your godmodding is insanely obvious, and I'm tired of your shit.

0_0 ............ wow did the meter rise up and spotlight shift.......... well damn. Well........ let's try comparing the differences. Eclipse granted heavy autonomy to Patagonia, China, India, and Arabs in their respective republics, gave the Greek's their own autonomous republic, and offered to pay compensation to those injured in any inter-protest fighting. Rockies did colonized and such, with some areas joining peacefully. Then the region wanted independence, which the Rockies refused outright and forcefully was putting down the movement (Now you never explicitly did that, however i asked you many times on how you were getting rid of the movements to which i got no answer and gave you plenty of time to answer, and what i normally do in that case is that i assume the worst and continue based off of that). Which in turn angered the populous, had them declare their independence, and well....... shit hit the fan. Now i am willing to say the New Zealand won't be apart of it and instead just make it a irredentist concept, which in turn makes NZ effectively your's (except for Tasmania, cause that's apart of Australia today and i'm going with that).
Now to address the issue of godmodding claim. First off, the Eclipsian military is a superior force to the Rockian's in many ways. The Eclipse has more experienced men, more manpower, better and all-round training, power armor, technological superiority, and more manufacturing output. The only things you have over me is naval and mechanized numbers (i think, you don't have a nation sheet for reference). Also how would it be godmodding for someone to put themselves through an internal crisis, a civil war, a possible a second civil war, and the fact i have characters against the war.
Also i should note this for everyone: Eclipse Loyal, Alien Loyal (coming soon), and OOC Loyal are different in terms of how they act and reply *just realizes he has schizophrenia*. (If i offended anyone with that last comment i'll remove it and apologize).

Like I said, the Rockians have the home turf advantage, as well as high morale and good leadership. And I didn't put it down forcefully, for the fifth time, I brought representatives to court to adress local concerns. And when I actually did give them autonomy, you still continued your war. Also, all of my subject regions already have a fair amount of independence due to the feudal system giving local leaders lots of autonomy.

Try telling that to the guy in world war one which took out a entire German trench by himself,
The countless people with minor arms useless against tanks, and still winning,
The British kid in the WWI british navy which manned a heavy gun by himself against an attack, and being hit,
And the various governments with military superiority getting utterly destroyed by guerrilla warfare/rebellions. I think of Vietnam which was considerably far less technologically advanced for a time.
Tell that to the Moscow inhabitants which were winning against poland NOT in winter before being annihilated by kinetic space rods,
Tell that to the soon coming aliens.
Being more technologically advanced has nothing to do with the equation besides making initial assaults quicker and easier. Now maybe with people that have a excellence in all sets, that could be true. But otherwise it actually isn't. Greed make people want power, power makes people want more of it, the more they get of it the more they want, the more they get the more they forget about everything else, the more they forget about everything else the more trouble they are to themselves and others, the more trouble they are to themselves and others the more self destructive they are.
Pretty sure your constant civil wars are a example of this. Simply winning with technology doesn't actually mean it is a good thing.
Besides that tech-talk, you're fine.

And your civil war didn't even hurt you. It actually made your economy and army stronger, so it's clear that it was just you trying and definitely failing to make it look like you were balanced.

Just keep in mind that even if you are being invaded by aliens or all other configurations of beings, you're still following mechanic rules.
