I usually create different teams. My equipment mostly relies on what i get from raids, but the later the game, the more equipment i produce by my own.
Sniper team: colonists with highest accuracy - sniper + full power armor + bionic eyes
Infantry: mostly charge rifle (sometimes assaults) + kevlars, but i like to throw in some LMGs + power armor
Melee: shields + plasteel gladius + kevlar/power armor + bionic legs against mechs
Rescue team: animals (mostly dogs)
Depending on the fight i use my teams for different tasks:
Siege - sniper team focussing on enemy snipers and mortars, backing up to turret/infantry line
Sappers - sniper + infantry if fast enough - Melee inside the base / around possible corners
Raids - turrets (always plasteel in frontline) + melee around corners or close to endangered turrets + infantry + snipers in the back + countersniping
Mechs - really active play with a lot of space / pause; melee running around to distract (depending on the number of mechs) + sniper/infantry + slowly backing up to base / turrets
The best ways to always be a step ahead of the raiders IMHO
- Build one turret more as you would need
- Use your positioning as smart as possible
- Get at least 2 Snipers as fast as possible
- Always try to upgrade your teams with better armor, bionics or weapons
- Get a good doctor and a clean hospital
- don't underestimate the power of rescue dogs (especially in long fights against mech hordes)
