0% Lib missions (not Vanilla)

Context: True Concealment (only when 100% infiltration), Veteran, not Ironman, 0% supply raid farming
I only get to play when I'm back from work, i.e. I'm already tired and prone to mistakes. Having figured out how to 0% supply raid, other missions start to look fun at 0% infiltration. I've run stealth duos on these missions so much but coming in with an over-equipped, over-levelled 10-man squad is refreshing.
"Commander, we've found an alien relay that ought to be stopped. There's only 29 hours to deal with this."
"Send in the Supply Raiders."
4 snipers (of which 1 is holobot, 1 is Serial) and liberal spam of rocket/shredder. One sniper was taking out the alien relay (double tap) while everyone was mopping up.
"Commander, there's some key data in a vehicle that would help liberate this region. We only have 4 hours before it's over."
"We've just finished a supply raid, send that team in after swapping in some fresh blood."
The promising LCpl Ranger died. My SPARK ran into the big house filled with 3 Extremely Heavy pods - snipers couldn't see and I didn't bring enough cover destruction to remove the remaining walls. By the end of the mission, the SPARK took 1 damage past ablative. During that, my shinobi (ghostwalk/covert) ran over the roof of said house while Advent soldiers were screaming and pointing at the robot. Had to Intervene to make it on time and I'd forgotten to call for Evac until 4 turns after breaking stealth. At the end, the last soldier (grenadier) was left at 1 HP due to bad rolls. He threw an incendiary grenade at my shinobi. He was wearing Hazmat.
Once 0% supply raids are balanced, I look forward to repeating this kind of experience with proper income management. I gotta thank the full laboratory that let me get ahead of the research curve (warden/coil against Tier 2 Advent soldiers).
