			Altered a little bit, this way it allows for 100 scientists, 70 engineers and 30 soldiers (all in psi training) with 250 storage space, this makes for an alright base.
			The base is also not affected by the Base Disjoint bug in a way to make base defences unwinnable.
			All soldiers will spawn in the General Stores and Living Quarters while the Hyperwave Decoder and the Mind Shield (or anything you want to use in its place) are fully sealed off, making the top left Hangar module the only exit.


			Also best for those, that want to start a tougher game by creating the first free base, then selling and dismantling everything and recreating it from the scrap. (my usual habbit when starting a new game) This doesn't always guarantee a bad first month, but the chances are low you will get to intercept/assault a UFO and the first Terror Site will most likely result in a failure when it's Sectoids and all you have are Rifles and Heavy/Auto-Cannons.

			== Rewrite? ==

			Okay, there's a few big issues with the article I see.

			'''1)''' It just rambles a lot and feels like a bunch of people supplying ideas rather than a coherent piece.

			'''2)''' Omission: the section on overhauling the starter base MUST mention options for the two-base build (in which you start a second base on the first of January). When doing a two-base build, you only need to build one new hangar at the main (the other one, along with its Interceptor, is transferred to the second base). Since the two-base build is definitely viable (IMO it's actually optimal), it should be mentioned.

			'''3)''' Omission: the page assumes XcomUtil, and therefore fails to provide disjoint-bug exploit builds (or even to note in all cases when a build is DB-vulnerable). Exploit builds can actually be the most efficient, e.g.
			{{UBK\|=
			\|hangar1\|hangar2\|hangar1\|hangar2\|dirt\|lab\|=
			\|hangar3\|hangar4\|hangar3\|hangar4\|dirt\|lab\|=
			\|lift\|dirt\|dirt\|dirt\|lab\|lab\|=
			\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|=
			\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|=
			\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|=}}
			Naïvely, this is the most modules (lab = anything not hangars/lift) you can put in a base on Superhuman while retaining a single chokepoint. You need two hangars to avoid aliens spawning in other modules, and no configuration of hangars has less than six adjacent squares. One is the access lift, your choke point; the other five must be left empty. Also, the module next to the lift needs to be indestructible, as its loss would obliterate 21 other modules.

			But!
			{{UBK\|=
			\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|lab\|=

	For build times this is only 1 tile away from the WORST possible positioning of the lift. The defensive possibilities are pretty interesting, though. With spotters 2 sniper teams in the North West positions could lock down all 4 choke points. For the next phase you have lots of options. One team could move to the square just NW of center to provide crossfire into two hangers and you could split up the other snipers to the South West and North East positions to snipe the entire length of the base across two hangers.
