Im also ok with my engineers and scientist going home every night to their wives and kids

Im definitely an advocate for the multi-base system that includes interesting base defense. I will also say that I agree with the previous posters in the fact that being able to fly multiple drop ships (and with different pools of soldiers for each base) would be preferred. That being said, I do understand that there are design choices that make this game distinct from both X1 and the original xcoms that should make it stand apart (and I definitely understand the spirit crushing feeling of having to rip out chunks of code by the roots and desperately try and fit something else in there). tldr: I agree with the previous posters, but I dont want any design changes to come at a cost to the rest of the development process
