Month 3 *obviously win all battles, shoot down all alien vessels, sell all excess alien bodies (keep one of most, three Sectoid)and broken alien parts, pick missions that reward with engineers, if no engineers pick money * Only launch a satellite at the end of the month (or if there is a special pending request that gives you engineers or money) and if country has reached panic level. Complete other special pending requests within your capacity *for best builds go to my build section 1. Officer Training School: Rapid Recovery 2. Build 1-2 Satellites (have at least 3 building at this point) 3. Research Beam Weapons 4. Build Satellite Nexus 2nd row West wing in the middle 5. Have at least 2 interceptors over each continent that you have satellites. 6. Research Heavy Lasers 7. Build another as many Satellites as possible. By the end of the month you will be able to launch as many as 14 8. Equip at least one interceptor with laser weapons. At the end of this month if you don't have 2 interceptors or one with laser weapons you will have to go one on one with a barge (1/20 chance of actually winning) so unless you plan on save scumming plan accordingly. 9. As soon as you have “We have ways” research all autopsy and interrogations.
