			:It's possible. One strategy to dealing with abductions is precisely to leave one continent without sats for the aliens to focus all the abductions there. That way the panic levels will be kept in check since the unattended abductions will be counterbalanced by the one you send your squad. [[User:Hobbes\|Hobbes]] 07:49, 17 July 2013 (EDT)

	::The caveat is that a month's missions are chosen by the computer at the start of each month: launching a sattelite on, for example, the 28th of any month will keep Abduction missions from happening next month, and for the rest of the game, for that country (unless a Battleship destroys the sattelite (and you somehow keep it from Withdrawing without launching another sattelite; ie, a well-done Terror Mission elsewhere on that continent)). That's why it's reccomended to save sattelites for just before the Monthly Council Report. If you launch a Sattelite on, say, the 5th, that's -2 Panic, but if it's been chosen for an Abduction, and you choose the other countries, that's a net of '''+1''' Panic for that country. So, like on Impossible mode, if it has 3 or more panic, and gets chosen for an Abduction: let it suffer, and save the sattellite for the end of the month. --[[User:Xuncu\|Xuncu]] 02:22, 29 April 2013 (EDT)		::The caveat is that a month's missions are chosen by the computer at the start of each month: launching a sattelite on, for example, the 28th of any month will keep Abduction missions from happening next month, and for the rest of the game, for that country (unless a Battleship destroys the sattelite (and you somehow keep it from Withdrawing without launching another sattelite; ie, a well-done Terror Mission elsewhere on that continent)).
