How can I avoid getting chased down by an enemy UFO?
I've been expanding my influence in XCOM 2, but I'm still very early on in the game so my characters are not very powerful nor do I have high end gear. I've attempted the battle that occurs when you encounter the UFO, but it's absolutely brutal at this point in the game. I tried reloading a few times but no matter what I do this UFO seems to chase me down in a few days. What can I do to prevent this from happening?
A dark event claims to cause the UFO to not seek you out anymore, but I did that event earlier and I'm still encountering this.

it takes a few turns for the enemy reinforcements to start dropping, so if you're quick with the pre-existing squads on the map you can overwatch every single drop and have all or most of them down right after they land (just be sure not to run out of ammo on everyone at the same time)
to take those first squads out do not be afraid to use explosives to clear cover and add some damage on those first squads.
currently using the mission to farm experience for all my troops (half of which were still rookies, and everyone just has starting gear)
