1. Lightning is an excellent craft for rapid troop deployment on the battlefield. Just try walking through the walls...
3. It's far better to use them to draw psi attacks away from your other guys. Equip them with things like smoke grenades, flares, stun rods, or standard pistols if you have power armour.
4. Very much so. Also if you are low on TU, your reaction score goes down and you are less able to get opportunity shots.
5. It's a waste of $40k. Not to mention that you could take out other men if they are within 7-8 tiles.
6. Just sack them. It hurts your morale and makes other troops more likely to panic or go berserk.
7. If you stun them, they no longer exist as far as scoring goes. So if you can't save them, stun/mc and get a 0 instead of -30.
9. At least for sectopods, it's the way to go. Anything else, the heavy plasma owns all.
10. Erm...they have about 160hp I believe.. You'll be lucky to drop more than 1 per rifle clip.
11. Don't dual wield rifles. If you have pistols though, ALWAYS have that other hand doing something, be it holding a grenade or a different class of pistol that complements the other. I tend to prefer a laser in one hand and either a plasma or standard in the other (volume of fire stacked with either stopping power or accuracy).
12. Amen...if you can get there at least... >.>
