Title: global coverage
Post by: Falko on July 08, 2014, 11:13:17 am
8 bases with hyperwaves are enough to provide complete enough global coverage that you will never fail to detect a UFO.
I always got some land that was not covered by radar
so i made a mod and tried to do fix that and accomplished this
soo now i am not 100% happy with my placements
i hope others share their complete covered placements perhaps there are better base positions

i attached save,mod, and some images

I place my bases pretty much exactly like you have pictured

Mine are sort of similar, but my Africa is further east, I use Mongolia vice India to cover most of the Arctic, and Western Australia to catch SE Asia.

I always start my first base somewhere near Istambul. It covers all of Europe, plus some of Africa and Middle East and Russia. It´s the best place to cover a lot of countries and almost no sea.

Same, though I'm trying to place it within the Russian borders. It's a matter of habit, since I used to think for a long time that having a base in a country gives you better standing with them, so I wanted a base within some funding country. This is not true, but oh well, habits.

i moved my starting base to netherlands since i tried to get base positions that cover all land (with hyperwavedecoder)
the question off the thread is/was what other/better base positions do you have that accomplish the full land coverage

the northpole is covered (i admit not good to see with the screenshots)
and in the screenshot there are only 7 bases visible so you can guess where nr 8 is .. antarctica is covered
