Usually the newbie who isn't a high rank goes in first. I assess the situation. And usually I'll have him take a shot and then get out of the way. Then comes my experienced guys to mop up. Don't bring 1 guy because you can't kill all the aliens with just 1 guy. sometimes even 3 is not enough. |
Before entering the ship I get two people on either side of the door, one kneeling down and one standing up. Behind the one kneeling there is another soldier, and then I have about 3-5 other soldiers a few spaces away from the door, surrounding it in a semi-circle. If any alien steps out, it'll have 7 guns pointing at it.
When entering the ship I first send in the guy who is standing up next to the door. He'll usually have a primed grenade ready and sometimes I prefer to use someone with a cannon aswell. He steps in and, if there is an alien, dies. The next person comes in and hopefully kills the alien, and then runs to the closest corner and covers the next door. I slowly file people in, each one stoping with their back to a wall and facing a door. I go through the entire UFO like this untill I finally come to the last unopened door, which I again surround like I did with the original entrance and proceed similiarily. That last room is always a death trap, though.

I pretty much do the same thing, but wasn't sure how to fully explain it. So I just gave a rough draft of what I do. Though I don't use grenades. I think destroying too much stuff inside the ship reduces your loot you salvage from the ship (a very big money maker). I try to put my guys on either side of the door, and hopefully in such a way to avoid getting hammered by a grenade (though I never see aliens use them inside ships iirc)
