PSI COMBAT

1) To gain access to psionic powers you must first capture a live Sectoid
leader, a Sectoid Commander, or any Ethereal.   By carrying out successful
research on them, you can build PSI LABS and send your soldiers into be
assessed and trained.  All being well and groovy, you should then be able to
use you PSI powers in combat  with psi amps.

2) If you put an alien under mind control and then stun them, they will not
count as being captured at the end of the mission.  If you're trying to stun
aliens with smoke, a better tactic is to use mind control to keep the alien
in the smoke untill it passed out.

3) To get more ammo, mind control the alien, and either get it to throw all
of its weapons to you, or drop everything on the ground!

4) Panic actually has a better chance of success than mind control.

5) PSI strength is ultimately more important than psi skill, as it
determines the soldier's resistance to psi attacks as well as their
potential for psi training.

6) If during the course of a mission  a soldier is mind controlled more than
once ( and still survives the mission )  its best to sack that soldier
immediately after that mission as they probably have low bravery / or low
psi strength rating.
