Unless I am misunderstanding, engineering projects are just non-global research. I know I have used "Sabotage Project" for that with no option given to target facilities. Maybe there is a third type of sabotage mission in addition to "Sabotage Project" and "Sabotage Facility", but I have not found. (I don't count Assault Alien Asset, since that is basically just "Sabotage Facility" vs. aliens.)neilwilkes wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 8:28 amHmmm.anonusername wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 11:09 pmStrictly speaking, your Councillors can only sabotage completed defenses for the same reason the aliens can only bombard the completed version.

I would definitely agree with this - facilities ought to be 'bombardable' from Orbit, absolutely they should.
We can use Councillors to sabotage projects, so why can the technically superior (at the start, anyway) Aliens not be capable of Orbital Bombardment of large, obviously hostile constructions and facilities under construction?
Not convinced by that - there is a mission 'Sabotage Project', which takes away from engineering projects underway by a rival faction.
So not just a completed facility - that comes under the mission 'Sabotage xyz' IIRC.
Or am I missing something?
