	*If there's no other way to enter aside from the hatch, your best bet may be to set up a firing line outside-- the sort used in [[Reaction Training]]-- and wait them out. The aliens will usually ~~start coming~~ out soon after turn 20. Anyone trying to charge through that hatch will ~~probably~~ run into ~~at least~~ 2~~, usually more,~~ aliens on the inside waiting to shoot ~~anyone who comes through~~.		*If there's no other way to enter aside from the hatch, your best bet may be to set up a firing line outside -- the sort used in [[Reaction Training]] -- and wait them out. The aliens will usually come out soon after turn 20. Anyone trying to charge through that hatch will run into 2-5 aliens on the inside waiting to shoot them.
	*If ~~they REFUSE~~ to come out ~~from an intact UFO~~, and you ~~have to~~ send in a ~~suicidal~~ sacrificial rookie, ~~arm~~ him with a AC-IN, ~~and Auto-Fire everything inside~~. ~~If you're lucky, he~~ will ~~kill~~ all aliens ~~inside while leaving~~ the ~~items intact~~. ~~(If you're really cheap~~, ~~you can exploit the north~~, ~~west and diagonal~~ walls ~~and roast them in~~ the ~~shell~~.)		*If the aliens fail to come out after 30 or 40 turns, and you must send in a sacrificial rookie, the best weapons to equip him with are the Auto-Cannon with Incendiary ammunition and the Small Launcher. The AC-IN will set the interior on fire, slowly killing most of the aliens without destroying items. The Small Launcher will blast all of the aliens with stun damage; it also leaves items unscathed, and usually stuns the rookie who used it, preventing him from being mown down by reaction fire if some of the aliens are still standing. It is also possible to use the [[Explosions#When_Is_a_Wall_not_a_Wall\|blast-through bug]] to kill the aliens with incendiary fire without actually entering the UFO, although most players consider this to be cheating.
			*It is possible for a Medium Scout to be entirely levelled if its Power Source explodes. This greatly simplifies recovery, since there aren't any walls or roof left to prevent you from sniping the aliens "inside".

This ship isn't a big threat in the air. All craft weapons except the [[Cannon]] outrange its weaponry, and it's not very fast or resilient (indeed, powerful weapons such as the Avalanche or Plasma Beam will sometimes destroy it outright). On the ground, however, it can be a tricky customer. Your soldiers can only enter through a single door, which is usually guarded by the surviving occupants. The mutual surprise rule means that the first soldier will ''usually'' make it through the door without being killed, but his very next action will trigger point-blank reaction fire from as many as 5 aliens.
