Find enemy base?

What are prerequisites for an alien base to even exist?

Is there something in game that prompts the player to go look?

Follow Scouts or Harvesters? With what, and what loadout?

I'm guessing I have too many Radar/SAM site combo's out, and maybe my reputation levels are too high. I did have a Stiletto that was getting ninja-shot at by an invisible laser opponent, so I took a few trips over there and clicked around ...nothing.

2.4 dev, only thing I can get to work.

On/After an alien interest level (~time) aliens will try building bases on Earth AFAIK.

It is wise to check XVI infected areas (an alien base starts infecting lands).

I finished all research, got going on taking apart UFOs finally (took me a bit to discover the "Disassemble UFO" thing - that part had always been blank every time I'd looked, and since I play 2.4 without research texts there was nothing to clue me in) - and it seemed like I was just aimlessly shooting down UFOs all over the world without progressing the game much, but in hindsight I should have started on the disassembly faster.
