Like stated above, aliens attacking your base won't really give you that many spoils. And I certainly wouldn't advise "inviting" them for that purpose.
Also, often people will tell you to land at a terror site and take off right away. I don't know what the score is if you don't land at all, but just touching down and leaving will still result in a -200 to -300 score: the game considers all civilians at the terror site as killed.
Something which happened to me once when one of my bases were under attack: even though the invaders were mutons and a single silacoid, ALL of my soldiers except one panicked or went berserk after the 1st round. I still don't know how that was possible, I didn't think mutons had any psy abilities? And even if they had, causing 15 soldiers with decent psy training to panick in a single turn seems a bit extreme :blink:
