Long-Range Detection
This is a display of the long-range detection
ability of the base. Long-range detection
systems have a range of 450 nautical miles.
Note: X-COM Sonar Systems, while very long-
ranged, rotate very slowly — once every 10
minutes. This means that your base will
detect Alien Subs more effectively if more
than one Sonar System is in place.

items currently in the stores.
The Monthly Costs Button
Click on the Monthly Costs button to view a
list of your monthly expenses. These are
made up of the following:
Craft – X-COM do not own Barracudas or
Triton Flying Subs; they are leased from their
owners for a monthly fee.
Personnel – your personnel are paid monthly,
according to standard world pay scales.
Base Facilities – base facilities are
reequipped monthly. See the UFOpaedia for
details of the maintenance cost of each base
facility.
The Personnel Available: Personnel Total
data shows how your personnel are being
utilized. It is broken down into the three
groups of personnel: aquanauts, engineers
and scientists.
The figures show the number of personnel
available for work followed by the total
number of personnel at the base. You should
keep the first figure zero to stop workers from
being wasted. The bar graphs to the right of
this numerical display are useful to see ‘at a
glance’ how your personnel are being utilized.
The Space Used: Space Available bar graphs
show how your space is being utilized. This is
broken down into five categories in a similar
way to the Personnel.
The figures show the space used followed by
the total amount of space available. You
should aim to keep the first figure equal or
very close to the second figure to prevent
wasted space. The bar graphs to the right of
this numerical display are useful to quickly
see how your space is being utilized.
The Defences is a rating of how well the base
can defend itself against an Alien attack.
Click on the Transfers button in the bottom of
this screen to see a display of the personnel or
equipment currently in transit between other
bases and the selected base.
