#1 You needn't to use all of them. Fighting with ~ 6 soldiers the others can wait inside the dropships
#2 You can change the movementspeed of your soldiers.
#3 How about queuing moving orders? Now you always have to wait until your soldier has arrived. It would be much easier to tell him a target and meanwhile you can move with another soldier. If an alien has been spotted every movement of every soldier should stop.
#4 More information next to the soldiermodel. How about a health-, movementpoints-bar beneath the model? and what I would like to see most: a little clickable icon (up to 5) next to it that tells you if he can see an alien. I spend most of the time checking my soldiers if they can shoot/see an alien.
On the other side you would have to remove the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 hotkeys
Instead it would be useful to have a next/previous hotkey.
