Show name or number of the soldiers

I think it would be nice to show the soldiers name or number
or at least when you have you mouse over him. And maybe
the TU's to know if you should bother that soldier that round
or not.

Yes!  Sounds like a brilliant idea.

Well, I have to admit that I'm a StarCraft fan and
I got used to a lot of things. I think UFO:AI could
also benefit from some enhancements, like the one
from my previous post.

Another feature would be visibility area of the player
where he "can see" aliens, just like in SC. Sometimes
during the game I see an alien, I get a few soldiers not
too close, the next round the aliens takes 2-3 steps and
disappears though it still would be in visibility range. I
dunno what to say, it's just confusing: I should see that
alien always or never, not just in some special cases.

(Or maybe my gl drivers are broker )

i dont think the situation you discribed is too misterious. they simply got out of sight for all your soldiers. afaik the area of sight is rather narrow now, so this _might_ need some adjustment and of cuz a "display area of sight" option would be cool, but at least for me that has rather low priority as you get used to it by trial and error and can kinda figure out what you will see and what not.

just my 2c, eric.

btw_ what I definitly dont want is a fog of war, this is not sc... as much as i love sc
