True, and once you've got a good army (PSI!) you can keep going as long as you want -until you get bored-. It gets quite easy after a while, and your scores skyrocket.

Tactical missions will become easy with good PSI, flying suits and blaster launchers thats true. My question aimed more at the geoscape action when ufos keep comming outnumbering the defence forces. I guess there is a point in the game where you cant get all the incomming ufos and so infiltration cant be prevented.

More aliens incoming... more funds to build defences.
U can get outnumbered if ya are doing all the missions.
Mostly with Plasma beam that takes no ammo and Firestorms that are quick as thinking and no maintenance if ya can capture enought elirium.

My experience is that once you've got 5-6 bases all over the globe, you can intercept almost any ufo in time. At least I've done it a couple of times, waiting for a few years before going to Cydonia. But just shooting down ufo's isn't enough, you need to finish missions to have a sufficient score at the end of the month.

Remember to build decoders.

^ most definetly. They are invaluable expescially late game. Simply a must for your bases.

I prefer them in the early game, I try to get one by March, but it's quite hard.

:tomato: easy to spot ufo's :not_ok:

Decoders in early game avoid u to take big losses by attacking ethereals.

Etherals can take out any useless men!
gotta love em! :D
