Is there a patch coming out any time soon that makes the game fun? Im tired of running solo shinobi missions because they're the most effective and being relentlessly punished when i want to take more than 5 troops and blow up ayys

I saw people asking about when they are ready to raid bases in UFO defense. It depends on the alien race. Floaters and sectoids can definitely be done with laser rifles, though sectoids have psionics. If you don't have psi resistant soldiers, power armor + heavy canons is a good combo as you can easily kill sectoids, but your troops will have a hard time killing each other. Just watch out for the discs.
Snekman can be done with lasers, though plasma makes a world of difference against lids in the close combat of the bases. Mutons I would reccomend plasma to cut through all that health. I don't reccomend assault ethereal bases period, though obviously if you do, a full psi + plasma squad is recommended. Techinically all of this can be accomplished regardless of armor, though it is very helpful. I would say floaters obviously easiest, than snakemen. But once you get plasma I would say that mutons are easier than snakemen. Sectoids are the second hardest imo because psi can also fuck stuff up.
Remember, the primary goal of base raids is resources and captives. If you don't have an alien commander, destroying base before you get one is not recommended as you don't want to get stuck waiting for a landed battleship which will also give you unpredictable enemies. And a tougher environment for captures in my opinion. Remember that you can scout bases and then leave through the access shafts you arrived from with zero consequences. This means you can also raid the base as many times as you need to get captures, so long as you don't incapacitate all aliens.
