Sketching Executing Aliens Efficiently

Some observations from playing with a combat modeling spreadsheet "in progress" (high-alpha):

• I see two obvious styles: "Hit and run" (fast weapons, e.g. Laser Pistol; denying reaction fire by getting into cover before it can happen), and "Kill Now". Attacking from out-of-view, not triggering return fire is also an important consideration...if you aren't going to kill it, don't hit at all.
• When it comes to kill probability in one attack against normal Floaters, AutoCannon/AP autofire may win over Laser Pistol autofire. [Definitive results need a clean way to properly sum over all terms; I'm comparing easy lower bounds here.]
