Toying with the cult is fun! Later in the game when you've got a little extra cash, buy up 4 mini launchers and all the inc ammo in the market for them. Suit up a couple androids with megapol/xcom armor but a marsec chest armor. Send them around the cult a few times for some fun. I once did so much damage by fire that I had set them back at least 100k just by setting nearly the entire building ablaze. Remember, a burning cultist is usually panicking and tend to shoot at you less. Oh, and I had every possible slot on the droids with ammo and got through about half on each I believe with full auto. It's also fun to add a third android with he. =) Also, once you've got shields, stick a pair on each droid and run around. Be sure to keep them together cuz flying androids on full auto suck for aim.
