Can't they just use other frequency for laser, for example UV which(i'm not sure) passes through water

all lasers are degradeded no matter the frequency. but yes some frequencies are degraded more than others, microwaves are particularly susceptible so masers would be extremely poor, the ones least suspetable are the ELF used in some communication systems however their very nature makes then unsuitable for laser as they pass through targets with out losing very much energy. plus your laser would have to be several miles in size

grasers (Gamma Laser) might be effective to but would still be heavily degraded

The problem with such an extension is that it would require a lot of adaptation.

Perhaps one day in the distant future the game could extend itself so people could play underwater, or attack alien bases (instead of "only" defending earth), but it sounds as if you are suggesting things which quite like take years of developers time away too quickly, and I am not sure that this would help finish some other issues at hand at all ...but here is another idea, we could try to recruit coders from china solely working on these ideas, to make some kind of sequel to UFO:AI ;)
