2.6 dev turn off pre-purchased equipment, buildings, and employees

[Eegxeta]

Is there any way to turn off the game pre-purchasing equipment when you place your first base? It always buys a bunch of stuff I end up selling which because the selling price is lower than the buying wastes money.

No. But for veterans it would b helpful if we had that kind of option. And also base where we have some available buildings to be build instantly and we could choose place for those buildings.

It doesn't buy anything.

You are taking the control of PHALANX, not building it up. Actually selecting the first base position is a mistake by the old design and it should also be randomly chosen by the Campaign Engine.
