If not than I have 10000 cycles, otherwise 8000 cycles.

F11 and F12 only alter the cycles in combination with CTRL.

Apart from this I do wonder if I should go down even more. This as the intro now plays okay for the voices, but the sounds still lags a tiny bit (got better and better as I turned the cycles down);

Sound lagging can be fixed by adjusting blocksize and prebuffer settings in the config file. Forgot to mention this part before.
I remember Data recommended the following values:
blocksize=4096
prebuffer=30

Is it possible to heal another character with the medikit, instead of only yourself.

Not as far as I know.

I) Unlike you I still adore turn-based combat, as it allows for better placement of troops and that is quite needed in this game.

It's better for placement, sure. But dual-wield devastator cannon mayhem still works better in realtime. Send eight such troops into a CoS temple and you'll see what I'm talking about - Kneel, Full Auto, Agressive Stance and the sheer volume of fire won't let any cultists survive (and the property damage is simply icing on the cake!)

II) Not my snipers but my poorest shots are going up the fastest due to a technique of mine;
Cover fire on distant of better shooters, with aimed shot or snap shots, giving some pre damage. From around the corners stand nex to the other guy and unload for 2 TU per shot your law pistol. This is doable for the Sirius guys and the weak aliens. It seems the game lets you increase accuracy by a formula including number of times shot, and hit percentage of those times of shot (quite like JA).
This tactic does not always work, for instance using it with a Multiworm = death for the soldiers (and probably other tough aliens I haven't seen yet, but multiworm has got an unfair amount of HP -> over 200).

Not sure. I'll have to try that, tho.

V) Can building be build in this game from other organisations... I have raided two temples of the Cult twice, and all of a sudden I find a third. Have I overlooked or is this normal?

Other organisations never build new facilities, at least as far as I could tell. Note that when you're on the city map (the simple display mode, not the isometric one), selecting an organization's icon on the list highlights their properties.

VI) Nice for hybrids they inherited PSI, but why did they have to inherit weak strength? :confused: Or is that just coincidence?

This is on purpose so that the Hybrids are balanced with humans and androids (who are completely Psi-resistant, so you can use them safely as forward scouts in brainsucker-heavy areas)

VII) To bet hearing is not implemented as in JA. 3 Sirius guys attacked from behind (I have no clue where they came from, as I had looked down all corridors... probably sneaky around a corner).
P.S. They were stupid enough to run out of TU's when they came through the door though... I thought "nice" untill I shot them down and they appeared to have high explosives primed... that hurts.

The explosives didn't have to be primed. When you fire at a square which has any ammo/grenades/explosives in it, there is a chance those materials will explode (possibly setting off a chain reaction). The chance depends on what you hit with, obviously. Fire detonates explosive materials after a while too.
