Charlie:
When you press "t" a line gets drawn from the selected soldier to any aliens it can see. I would like a feature that would automatically draw these lines.

I think this would be a good thing at tutorial but not all the time when you play. In my opinion it is more interesting to use his own mind to do some of the job. But about learning/training considerations that's an other, and interesting idea.

Anarch Cassius:
I would HATE having this on all the time but maybe a toggle.

Toggle sounds good. Whatever the need of this tool will depend on the further development or not of a minimap or radar stuff. Those geometry helpers are often needed, one maneer or one other, anyway.

Charlie:
Yes a toggle would be great. Point is I would like to be able to both immediately see where all aliens are, and to be able to see (via line color) which of them I can shoot at. Sometimes you can see an alien which you cant shoot at because either he is mostly occluded by something, or because he is in the line of sight of an other solider than the one I'm currently moving.
e.g. faint blue line would be drawn from the currently selected soldier to all aliens (when toggled on), and the same line would glow brighter blue if I can directly shoot at that alien.
