RasterOps

Well I assume I need to start a new game, no mention of this in the OP. That existing games are incompatible with this mod. First, the dropship name and team names were not the same, Dropship: Tango 1, Team: Charlie - 10 (?!). Soldiers could be unassigned from a dropship but were not removed from it. Since the dropship is full, soldiers could not be assigned the proper team/dropship name. Changing the dropship name to match the erroneous team then unassigning soldiers did not work. Vehicles cannot be unassigned when the dropship name does not match the assigned name. Reload/Resolution: Changing the name to the original name "CHARLIE - 1", results in all soldiers and vehicle team names being changed to match. They can then be unassigned and will be removed from the dropship. Started a new game. DON'T as in NEVER change the name of the dropship BEFORE unassigning soldiers/vehicles. Unassign everyone/thing first! Suggestion: It would be nice if while in ground combat, the spacebar cycled through the soldiers, Especially since the mouse wheel now cycles through the levels. Or some key, I know the spacebar is used to cancel a move order. Observation: The shock baton is size 2x3. WTF?! I'm sure this is the original BAD design. So can it be easily changed?

I have the Steam edition... What and where is this so called "Community Edition"?

But wait, my teams / dropship names have dash characters. When I attempt to rename my Dropship (teams) I cannot insert a dash character. Is there a keystroke that would allow me to do so? Because I can use the alternate from of input using the number pad to enter just about any character but the dash character, e.g. ALT 0176 is the degree symbol, see °. So what gives? How do I enter the dash character that the game is clearly using?

It would need a new engine, yes. It has been done and can be done. It should have been done here. It wasn't done and is unlikely to be done. It was just a bad design decision from the start.
