Base attacks can be great... if your base is set up properly.
Build the Hangars and lefts down one side of the base. These are the only entry points so by doing this you arn't surrounded.
Use nades, blaster bombs in the hangers and lifts and dont move alone.
If all goes well you should have a bunch of stuff for sale. :Brain:

A tricky bit about building a chokepoint into your base is that you will also have to go through the chokepoint to attack the aliens, and the possible lines of fire make it very easy for the aliens to defend a hanger against attacks from the main lift. That aweful setup that everyone hates has the slight benefit of spreading out the aliens and allowing multiple avenues of attack for the hangars. Last night I defended one of my bases in TFTD. It was the correct design that blocked most ef the aliens in the access lock and sub pens (except for the ones that seem to always be placed in the living quarters). I lost four troopers and three SWS's fighting my way into the sub pens. Some of the losses were due to bad tactics, but they were mostly due to the aliens being able to all cover the one door that I had to come through.
