Mostly fine but the LMG before you sent the patch was useless, especially since it hardly ever actually caused suppression, let alone hit anything. Would be an idea to maybe make the LMG 50% of TU so if you're in cover you can actually put down some fire support. One paltry burst that neither hits anything or causes suppression is not what fire support weapons do. Also, the HEVY is even more useless. I know it's meant to clear cover, but not only does it fail spectacularly to do that, it's also wildly inaccurate. Finally, there should be an option to force troops not to take their overwatch shot if there is any chance of blue on blue.

Oh I'm sure there will be better and faster dropships, just as in Xen1 ;-). What I'd like to know is that when they get shot down, does a more advanced dropship provide more protection for the troops on it (so that there is more chance of them surviving). I think there should be an option to allow the dropship to land, whereby the troops scatter and are saved, but you loose the dropship. The troops turn up back at base later though!

One thing I've noticed with V7 is the change to the central base with the Skyranger and multiple regional bases with Radar and Interceptors. If an Alien Raid mission occurs in say western North America and your main base is in Northern Africa, the Skyranger is so slow that the raid almost invariably disappears before it can get there. So you take the hit in the region and likely lose funding at the end of the month, but have no way to address that. Given that there is no mechanic for having soldiers or other Skyrangers located in other bases, how will this be addressed? I don't think that you want to go back to something that is essentially X1 with a slightly nicer interface, but if there is no way to get to a raid mission before it disappears then that means countries will be dropping out left and right with no way for the player to address the situation. What are your plans around this?
