In 2.2.x and before you could choose an option to start with a single entrance and build up buildings instantly IN NO TIME. So if you started "normally" with the default base layout you had handicap compared to CHEATERs who build up the base on their own. That's why the feature was removed -- and the fact you get the Commander's chair of PHALANX not you're building it up from nothing...

There is a bit of a hole in the story when it come to the base.  IIRC the base is supposed to be the old Phalanx base from when it was operational which I would by extension of the fact that it was an American organisation expect to be in the US territories and yet you can build it anywhere (I typically go for the Middle East/Asia).

Yes, I would like to have it's location fixed or at least to be chosen from a few possible locations, but others wanted more freedom for the players.

ChemBro:
I like this little bit of freedom. As a european, I place my first base always in Europe. Dunno about the others. :-)

headdie:
Would it be better to say that the original PHALANX was a joint American/UN initiative with the Americans providing the military and high tech aspects of the old organisation and the UN providing the base, general equipment, access to international alien landing/incident sites and civilian personnel.

That way the base could be anywhere in the world and would explain why the UN knows all about the project while giving the project access to the best equipment at the time.
