I would like to see every soldier maintain their equipment configurations regardless of whether they are assigned to a drop ship or not. Furthermore, I would like to be able to save equipment configurations as templates so that I can assign one to a soldier. If I have an assault template that has an Assault Rifle in Right Hand, A Smoke Grenade, Incendiary Grenade, Flashbang, and Frag Grenade on Belt, along with a medi pack in the holster, etc. etc. then if I save with a descriptive name like Assault Template, I could assign it quickly to a soldier and then tweak as I see fit instead of dragging and dropping the same equipment to soldiers that I want to configure that way. I would like to be able to create my own templates, and be able to make as many as will fit on my computer, ie no set limit. I would like the equipment to be assigned to the soldier so I can't accidentally sell it or assign it to some other soldier, and I would like to be notified if there is a problem due to something missing, like not enough ammo (in the XCom game it would notify after a mission that it couldnt restock the equipment because not enough), though it would also be nice to have an auto buy feature to purchase what is requested in templates, or after usage in a mission. I would also like to be able to not have to use a template, like now.
I feel this would answer the above posts along with adding greater features and functionality to the game.
