Exception for Aircraft. Because accelerated gun used only 3 mount point, that laser Lance need a 5 points. It's mean you can make early-game two cannon fighter with armor and better DPS than 1 laser gun.
>Don't waste your time on laser LMGs
Laser LMG`s it's a better choice for Overwatch cover. High-dps and great chance to kill or suppress. Put your shield man in front and LMG beside him, and you will annihilate any attacking aliens in his turn.
Starting money: most of my money I put in +3 additional workshop and engineers. With connection bonus, it's give me a lot of many every time that i don't need product new items.
Frankly, it is you being absolutist by saying "If you love the game, you should try to open [a player's] mind." Are you implying I don't love the game, because I'd write a better guide if I did? You are not in a position to dictate to anyone how they express their love for the game. We are all fighting the same aliens, don't bark up this tree.
You want to wait until the game is fully out before you write your guide? Good for you! It's not a competition. I hope your guide helps folks even more than my own.
If you love the game, you should try to open their mind to all the various ways to play through the campaign, not limit their mind to 'the only true path'.
And I will definitely write a guide when it is complete, just not during EA.
Also, I haven't phrased any of my advice in the guide as the best/only way to play, nor do I imply that any alternative advice is "wrong." Objectively speaking, I beat the game twice doing what I recommended in the guide to great success. I think you just want to be a downer for the sake of it.
If you want to be constructive, great! A lot of what you mention is constructive. However, you won't help me or the community by saying my advice is fowl and that I should have mentioned this or that. I wasn't paid to write this, I did it on my own time because I love the game.
"Buy base upgrades the moment they become available" ; the upgrades are very expensive and not really a priority, except for the engineers maybe. I usually don't buy them until they become really necessary.
The M.A.R.S. is very expensive. I just hire a soldier with tons of TU and give him a shield and grenades; $20k to have an efficient scout which kill as many aliens as a $250k Mars unit.
Do not use accelerated weapons? Of course use them, they are cheap and provide a decent bonus. You will be able to reuse them later for new bases or if your base gets attacked.
Invest in laser weapons; I skip laser weapons, they don't have enough "bullets", and the accuracy bonus is negligible compared to hires with good soldiers plus an accuracy module.
