What is the optimal start base location?
At the beginning of a game, Xenonauts lets you choose the location of your first base.
I started on the most Northern point of North Africa with the consideration that I can cover all of Europe and large parts of Africa and Asia from there.
However, most events seemed to occur in North America and Russia in the beginning. Also, I did not take into account that you can upgrade the reach of your base later.
- What factors should one consider when setting up your first base?
- Is there an optimal location to start at, and if so, where is it?

- First base: Saudi Arabia (east coast of the Red Sea). After 3 radars are built, it effectively covers 95% of Africa and 95% of Europe, plus a big chunk of Asia. Also 80% of the covered area is land.
- Second: Cuba.
- Third: Somewhere in Indochina to cover Australia as well.
Answer 3
I put my first base in Crete (I called it Firebase Minotaur), it gives pretty good coverage of North Africa, all of Europe/Middle East and the Western half of the Soviet Union.
My second base I set up in Cuba (Firebase Castro) and gives good coverage of the Americas save for the far north and most of Argentina.
I set up a third base in Japan (Sword Airbase) to cover the rest of Asia and the Eastern half of Russia as well as some of the Polynesian islands.
