I think that control centers are well protected against lauchers strikes and you will need to localizate it either way.[/b]

Negative on protection! vulnerable from above!

The control center is in the 4th floor and got 3 commanders inside. It can be located from 3th floor. There is a stair down and 4 "balconies" around it. Also there are a lot purple tiles.

you can shoot through that small opening with guided missile later on. but to do this missile has to travel straight down and it's better to choose multiple points. command center is seen if you mouseover it by the square (you can see black shadow). but it's not always hit porpperly, so it's better to add a few points in the room (just to be sure).
with a good squad you can destroy it quite fast. i had it doen once in 3 turns (true i didn't pick any equipment form the base as penaltyy, but gained some real life time for other missions).
if there is no guided missile launchers then destroying it is very hard. but the wall from command center can be breached by sonic pulsar from lower (same) level (as command post is). a few grenades and sonic shoot in the center should do it.
the most rewarding is to kill all aliens (like laicofar said they are mostly on same spots except from those brain floaters!!). they should all be killed or stunned. i sugest the lobsterman in comman center to be stunned at all possible means, since they are valuable information source. in addition to that killing all aliens get's you their equipment which you can later sell.
however doing that can be tough early in game. i suggest the use of stun rod and then grenade blast to finish them off.
to stunn the lobters in command center you need someone who has enough time units and stun rod (later stun gun is also good if you fire it in the wall).
