Hello everyone!
First of all, thanks for a great game! I am very happy to see that the stability and playability of the game has increased to a level that is almost on par with the old XCom 1 and 2 (and in some ways even better).
I have a few suggestions that I think would make the game more enjoyable to everyone
1. Renaming soldiers at the equipment selection screen. I often load up my soldiers with a given set of equipment depending on their skills. Then I name them for instance "(Spr) Sarah Chandler" for a soldier with a sniper rifle, "(Lmg) Mark Quinn" for one with a Light machine gun, and the likes. Now, being forced to go to the hire screen to rename, and then remember what the name was of the soldier works but takes extra long time.
2. Renaming aircraft. Take for instance a base with two squads, Alpha and Bravo. One of the squads may be focused on capture, while the other is set on killing everything they see. Now when a mission starts, I'd see:
"Firebird-class Dropship (8/8)" - this won't tell me anything about who's on board, and what team it is. Perhaps if we'd be able to rename them from the aircraft screen?
This also goes for intercept craft. Maybe I have one craft specialized in fast UFOs, while I have one specialized in heavy UFOs. Being able to see the difference would be great.
3. Changing the order of the soldiers in the squad. This would make it easier to split the group into combat pairs. One heavy, and one support (medic, etc). As far as I know, I can't order who's placed where on the squad.
Keep up the great work!
