Apparently you play on superhuman you get unlocked items, cant say ive actually tried that yet.

I'm not 100% sure, but the "unlocked items" are probably the teleporters and some minor items you don't have an absolute use for. Nice to have them anyways.

Anyone got any hints on base defence?
|
Defense rooms next to the lift usually help a lot. Keeping your repair bay together help a lot also, since the Aliens always come in the base from those two points.
The problem with defending a base is that you don't have the soldiers and the equipment you choose yourself, you have to do with what you've got. If you have a lot of scientists/engineers in the base, this could leave you with only two or maybe even a lone team of soldiers to defend the rest. You do, however, have a limited power on how to deploy them in the base.
Basically, you have two choices; you either sort the teams so all the engineers/scientists are in the last teams all together without any soldiers, or you assing a soldier to each team to defend the scientists/engineers and concentrate the rest in a "defense team" which roam the base. I myself prefer the first way.
By sorting the scientists/engineers in the last teams, they usually get deployed in secluded areas of the base like the restrooms or inventory rooms, which limit the danger they have to face. While keeping them "hidden", you can at the same time rush your team(s) of soldiers to the access lift to secure the area. Once this is done, secure the area your scientists/engineers need to cover to get to the lift (and to safety) and escort them out of the base. When completed, you can concentrate on killing the opposition like any other missions.
If you end up with very few soldiers in the base, intelligent use of boomarang will probably save your hide better than trying to 007 your way around the base. If you already have access to personnal shielding, you could 007 your way around the base anyways, taken you take your time and don't waste your shield(s).
