You have to balance the capacity of your quarters with the amount of people fighting in your missions, scientists working on project... In x-com u had 14 or 16 slots in your Skyranger. Your labs were big enough for 50 scientists and so on.

But I have to admit, that I miss the increased amount of soldiers fighting your ground missions. You didn't have to be THAT attentive to your soldiers.

yeah well i need 14 to 16 guys if i want less than 50% casualties in the higher difficulty levels..

I do not like that the transport vehicles only allow you 8 soldiers.. id vote that be changed myself... i love sending teams of dozen or more (wo)men into ufo bases..

Darkpriest - you know, you are probably right.  If I had to take an X-COM-sized base with 8 soldiers, it would be damn tough.  My "doctrine" calls for 4 guys just to enter the command center.  With lots of others watching their backs and the approaches on account of blaster launcher fire.

In XCOM3, I usually sent 16 agents once I had the resources, but then again, special forces units tend to operate in small groups. I imagine changing the max number of agents is too much to ask at this point, and I'm really getting into the 8-man squad idea.

DanielOR:
It is all about balance (maps, weapons, objectives) and so far - it is AWESOME!

I can't find anything like that.

What I did find is that my starting base has 10 engineers, 10 scientists, and 8 soldiers, with only one living quarters that is documented as supporting only 20 people.
