Well, i guess this might have been pointed out out before, but i can't find it anywhere - so i'll suggest it anyways. If it has been discussed feel free to ignore this, or even link me to the thread
Why ain't i able to select which soldiers i want to defend my base with? (assuming it actually makes sense not to defend with all Soldiers you've got...)
When i happen to have more than 8 Soldiers on my base, the game decides for me which ones will defend it i case of an attack (it's not even the crew of my dropship).
Problem: Not all my soldiers have armor then. My dropship squad is fully equipped (even when they are not the ones defending), the rest is not...
So my suggestion: let me decide who gets to defend, maybe add a "on defense duty" menu to the base or at least take my (first in case of more than one) dropship's crew as Defenders -> last one seems the easiest way.
(or remove the 8-person limit -> makes more sense, but i guess it would be even harder to implement...)
