In the Mission Control Room, players can "Scan for Activity", which advances the time and date, respond to available missions and watch aircraft on their way to a mission. The Mission Control Room is the focus of XCOM engagement, featuring a rotating hologram of Earth, referred to by Bradford as a Hologlobe. The static facilities supply a total of 30 power and require a total of 12 power, effectively supplying 18 power to the constructible facilities. The top half of the base contains several crucial facilities that are automatically available at the start of the game, and remain static throughout the game. The bottom half of the base starts out mostly empty, with room to construct various additional facilities, once enough space has been excavated. The top half of the base consists of static facilities that are already available at the start of the game and are the same for every individual game. The XCOM Headquarters, often referred to as the "Ant Farm", due to it's side view, is separated in two sections. The headquarters in Long War are mostly the same as in vanilla, with pretty much every facility performing the same or a similar function as in vanilla. The XCOM Headquarters is made up of numerous facilities that are responsible for managing and supplementing the base's important strategic and research functions.
