Quimics arent my strong point, to tell truth if i got a point in a quimic´s exam is the 1% of mistake. But as far as i know the periodic table could preditc any element in range and many of their caracterists. also by the periodic table you can search for an element with a short life spawn, another one who can turn it stable. Or a reactive one. Anyway this system is like a simple equation, so if dont got plenty research over the elements near the element "x" i can experiment too little over it.

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?[/b]

I lost my base in Brasil to ethereals, it was before the defense system get build, and got a new base of ethereals in Peru.
I lost a veterans squad in the base defence, an elite squad in first attemp to remove the alien base, another veteran squad attacking the alien base, a rookies squad also attacking these base, another green squad in the base defence of the second base in Brasil(i won with one survivor who was a captain translate from Europe to America) and a third rookies squad in the last attemp to get them out of America. Right now two bases (alien and mine) coexist in Southamerica.

2 fusion ball defense + grav shield - destroys any alien battleship. 100%
Guys do not let aliens to found a base.
Intercept any BattleShips.
I am always shoot it. So during the game I have 1-2 alien bases founded by Sectoids in early game or midgame.
At start of the game to shoot a battleship you will need 2 interceptors armed with 2 stingray luanchers each and carrying full ammo. total 12 stingrays.
The rest is a load-shoot-and-save/load startegy till all of 12 missiles hit and you lost no interceptors and 1 interceptor is not damaged.
last pair of missiles should be fired in aggressive mode. First 2 pairs in cautious mode.
it takes 10 loads to achieve (1 your successful hit + 3 successful enemy misses[while you (1)engage+(2)shoot+(3)disengage to standoff position]) and 30 tries to shoot all missiles from 1 interceptor and 60 tries to shoot down a battle ship.
When you shoot a pair of rockets you cannot say does both rockets hit enemy or only one. So sometimes you should start a cycle again when 12 rocket hits a Battleship and not downed it.
Research a plasma canon as soon as possible or have 3 interceptors capable to reach Very Large.
Do you know- large and medium scouts can be found undamaged on crash site. Just save before landing , if you see that UFO damaged then load and land again. Each time you land your UFO will have a different condition so wait for brand new condition. And theese UFOs become a good suppliers of elerium and money.
