In my experiance serious MCing only really starts with the later
shipping missions anyway, so for the most part it doesn't occur.  When
it does, a:  my snipers are proven MC resistant, b: my MC weakinglings
are being used as bait and fire drawing, taking most of the MC anyway,
c:  my heavy duty MC team (four troops in place of an SWS) is in place
to smack 'em right back.
So naaaaaaaaah

Fiar enough, gets the job done :o)  Bit quiker doing the room by room
searches as well I would imagain, doing them at the start rather than
having the whole squad spread over the ship and having to pull them
together agin.
