			: Ah don't worry about that. You're meant to experience complete, total and utter annihilation in X-Com UFO or TFTD at least once in your lifetime! It's practically mandatory. Then you get better, you learn new things and start to play more cautiously. Before long you'll be breezing battles with reasonably minimal losses. It's just like Apocalypse when everyone's got disrupters, entropy missiles and dimension missiles and you're still scrambling for the disrupter shield research to be done. Only it's like that from the very start and follows all the way through the game. You get through by knowing when not to fight. If you get overwhelmed with psi, cut your losses and abort the mission after hauling everyone back to the Skyranger (and any loot you manage to snag along the way so that your escape is hopefully worth something). Until you can start screen your psi strength levels, you need to take a very cautious (or extremely aggressive) approach towards sectoid encounters. - [[User:NKF\|NKF]] 23:47, 24 August 2008 (PDT)

	Karp, thanks for adding to the Apocalypse info. I played most of the XCOM games back in the day... but when I found the wiki years later, I only have time for the original XCOM, now. Still, all of us here appreciate anybody who helps add info on anything that's XCOM! Just ask us if you have questions. Cool deal on the pipe, btw. -[[User:MikeTheRed\|MikeTheRed]] 20:37, 23 August 2008 (PDT)		Karp, thanks for adding to the Apocalypse info.

			And I believe Zombie meant a \|-symbol ( alt gr and < on some keyboard layouts, don't know which you are using so cannot say what you need to press ). That changes the appearance of links and sigs, and allows links like [[Janitor Missile Array (Apocalypse)\|Janitor missiles]] so you can fit them better into your text.
