The two main sources of panic in the Long War are Terror Missions, where an excellent mission only ''minimizes'' the Panic raise that ''will'' occur, and public UFO sightings in uncovered countries.

For satellite coverage, since Uplink and Nexus capacity has been halved, you'll need more to fully cover all Council nations. The ideal satellite facility configuration is now a 2x3 block, with 4 Uplinks and 2 Nexi; this will allow you to cover 15 countries, which is all you really need since one country will defect in the first month (though you can liberate it). Still, coverage as soon as possible is ideal, so at least you can manage any smaller craft that come into covered airspace and temper down panic. Even if you can't shoot down the larger UFOs, even intercepting them will reduce the panic increase. But try to keep some extra satellites in reserve, for when the inevitable Battleship comes for your satellites.

Eventually, a UFO will come for your satellites, indicated by the same flashing purple signature a satellite hunting UFO has in vanilla. If the UFO is a bit big for your air force, it can still be worth intercepting it. A UFO has a percentage chance of destroying your satellite that decreases as it is damaged, down to 0% if the UFO is reduced to 50% HP. It might not be worth putting your entire air force in the repair bay for a month to save one satellite, but any damage you can put on a satellite hunting UFO might make the difference.

Panic in Long War is a smooth scale from 0-100, not the 5-point scale as seen in EU2012. For more details, on how panic relates to council members, see The Council (Long War).

Changes in Panic

Geoscape

  • UFO Escapes Untouched: +2 in country (reduced to 0 by dealing damage or raiding it if it lands)
  • Bombing campaign: +8 (reduced in direct proportion to damage dealt to the UFO, untouched UFO panic *also* applies)
  • Shooting down/raiding a UFO: -2 in country (You get -2 for shooting down a UFO, then another -2 for raiding it)
  • Launching a Satellite: -10 in country, no change across continent
  • Losing a Satellite: +25 in country, +5 across continent
  • Alien Entertainment Requests: -20 in requesting country
  • Sectoid Commander Requests: -20 in requesting country

Missions

Note that there is also a 50% chance of adding +15 panic to any panic causing event if there is an active and hidden EXALT cell on the same continent as the target country. For example, an ignored and successful air raid in France has a 50% chance of causing +25 panic total if there is an active and hidden EXALT cell somewhere in Europe.

Country Defection

At the end of the month, a country may leave the council if their panic is too high (i.e. > 95). Note that aliens can run an infiltration mission to cause a country to leave immediately.

  • Chance of defection, no sats nearby: current panic level (ie, at least 95%)
  • Chance of defection, one or more sat on same continent: 90%
  • Chance of defection, country has sat: 50%

Satellite Panic Reduction

Once per month, satellites can help control panic:

  • 50% chance of -5 panic if Panic > 95
  • 10% chance of -5 panic if Panic > 80
  • no reduction if panic < 80
