I have a few ideas I would like to share, I don't know if some of them are possible because I don't know what your modding limits are, but If you don't ask you don't find out... 1. Bring back some of the old xcom research items that have now been removed. I found that I had researched everything too quickly in this version and I would love to see a return in researching surgery rooms, alien food, alien entertainment. Also the alien rank heirachy such as soldiers, medics, engineers and leaders. Also the different ship types too, this would be good. Its just nice to keep the game going longer, it seems that there is much less to research meaning the game is shorter. 2. Have a time delay for manufacturing items. This one is strange, you have to wait a while to research things, but asside from the firestorms and satellites everything else gets manufactured instantly. 3. Have more ufos actively flying about and only get those council activated terror/abdutcion missions when you have a country on a high panic status. Also have your intercepters fly further out, i find it annoying when you get a ufo detection but it won't allow you to send your planes if there are none in the area and then have the commander character complain because you didn't do anything to stop them. 4. The alien blaster launcher in the original game was devastating and could literally bring down those old farmhouses. The one in this version is no more damaging than the rocket launcher or alien grenade. Make it destroy stuff in a much wider area. 5. Reloading your weapon uses both time units. I hate this, usually if you are out of ammo its because you got flanked by a swarm of cryssalids and wasting an entire turn to reload can really be dangerous. 6. I do not get this one, but using alien corpses to modify your ship or weapon components just seems odd. I can understand using alien alloys, power sources and computers, but 3 sectoid corpses to make an interceptor battle upgrade It just seems a bit silly. 7. maybe have more alien base missions like before instead of the only one you get in the whole game. 8. Upgrade your team to 8 soldiers. I used to love to sweep the maps in the old game in seperate fire teams
