I'm using RC4 in WinXP.
Is there any reason that I don't automatically get all of the loot dropped by aliens at the end of the mission? Picking things up from the battlefield uses an insane number of TU's (IMHO), and the soldiers' inventories are too small for me to have to manually pick everything up (besides, the mission ends when the last alien is killed, and the logical thing to do is hunt the bad guys and THEN take their stuff).
I definitely vote that in a future build, anything dropped by the aliens gets taken home by my soldiers on the dropship. That appears not to be the case currently (I picked up a few plasma pistols, and they ended up in my inventory when I returned, though I couldn't see them in the equipment screen, presumably because they haven't been researched. The only other alien items were those that are available for purchase, telling me that my soldiers didn't loot the battlefield).
