1) Until your men start having psi capabilities, you might want to ignore large ufos and terrorships with Ethereals, even if it hurts your monthly appraisal. Try to capture live Ethereals by attacking smaller ufos, then you stand a better chance of not getting slaughtered :P
2) Base defense... Particularly ethereals can be absolutely deadly if they attack your base. Go for at least plasma and fusion ball defenses, preferably more than one each + an anti-grav shield.
By the way, do multiple anti-grav shields have a cumulative effect?
