Thanks for the advice so far! What about general build strategies? When is it wise to start constructing another base? And where? Any basic equipment layouts that I should default to? Should everyone always be wearing body armor? Thanks, Aidan

Hey All: I'm new to Xenonauts, and X-Com in general, and I'm here to solicit advice in terms of general gameplay. I'm about to sit down with the manual before giving my first game a go, but I was hoping that some of you could offer up some general how-to advice - on a tactical/strategic/logistical level, rather than a "here are the keymappings and menu layouts." Essentially, anything you think a new player should know that isn't covered in the manual. Keep in mind, I've been gaming on the PC for 15+ years, so I'm pretty comfortable with most of the terminology and any analogies to other games/design concepts that you may make. I did a few forum searches, and a wee Google search, and came up dry, but if this has already been covered, please point me in the right direction! Thanks, Aidan
