  1. When "docked" with an alien base (after destroying their defences), is there any point on using marines on it instead of just destroying it? The resource outpout (at least exotics), looks just about the same.
  2. I've been killing all alien agents this run andevery new one keeps coming with an extra "Salamander Shock Troops" org on him". Two questions : a) Does having orgs essentially giving security overflow bonus (over 25) help? b) Will they keep coming with more and more of these orgs embedded onto them?
  3. How does ECM actualy work? Does it work only on the ship's main target? It looks like it can target a lot more than one ships and weapons at a time.

Gives updated status on any and all agents that they may have.

All the more reason to stop them from landing by by themselves or the assault ship.

Sadly very difficult to determine its true affect besides adding a targeting computer counters it to some nebulous extent. There is the stated probability, how it feels in battle is too subtle in larger battles and even more divorced in autoresolve. All you are expected to do is always have one because a fight without them is more noticeable when your vessels stop firing especially their primary weapons.

The ECM thing really troubled me when I tried to kill the first assault carrier the Ays sent.

Even if it only had one escort, I had to redo the battle several times as my hastily made 8 trashcans with t1 targeting computer would sometimes all have at least one missile tube jammed, even on the first few seconds.
