One more massive benefit of area stun weapons: you may safely throw them into the fray with your units in it. Aliens won't kill stunned xenonauts, and there's no penalty for stunning your own (other than them being stunned...) . So if you can't retreat your scouts/assaults in time, just "neutralize" the whole area. | |
