By Improvement I meant expanding it. So the feature is still there, works in a similar way but is more advanced (Barracks) or completely overhauled, so it has little resemblance to original but is superior (Air Combat). What was done in Xenonauts about basic equipment is streamlining, since it just removed the whole management part.
It makes game only less engaging. I don’t have to pay for this equipment anymore, so nothing except for weight limit stops me from filling up soldiers with any equipment I want. I can’t really see how this is a better gameplay. Like infinite flares during night mission. It just takes away tension of doing them and I really hope it’s only a temporary solution.
I like to see a proper trading screen. Where I can buy and sell equipment like ammunition for guns and aircrafts. Something I doubt is possible to mod without a source code, because it would require not only GUI overhaul but and aditional coding.
