I'd love to see this on Android. I've been nibbling away at Xenowars (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grinninglizard.UFOAttack&hl=en) on my Galaxy and it's very nice for the train ride to and from work.

Thanks Par'Gellen, you pretty much summed up my exact feelings.

Hello everyone. I'm new here, and another very sad puppy at the state of the new game that lays claim to the XCOM title. Unfortunately I am a victim of my own enthusiasm. I'm a huge fan of the original and still re-play it every year or two. I intentionally deprived myself of nitty gritty info re the new XCOM because I didn't want spoilers, so I went in to it on a great high, expecting it to be like XCOM and was massively disappointed. So much so that I actually was angry at myself for getting so worked up about it. Anyway, on the plus side, it pushed me here. I had heard of Xenonauts. I was unfortunately too late to join the kickstarter, which was quite disappointing as I love supporting promising games on KS, but it did at least put Xenonauts on my radar. However, when I heard about the Firaxis remake I though 'Oh man, I feel for the poor Xenonauts guys! Well in to their own awesome project and then a big dollar studio annouces this and stomps them into the dirt'. I can see now that that sentiment wasn't entirely justified, but it is what I was thinking at the time. Now though, I am thanking the gods for Xenonauts and thinking that this project is going to be the saving grace for all the hardened XCOM vets that feel let down by Firaxis's version. I could list all the disappointing points, but I'm actually just trying to get over it. I spent my money on the game, and to be fair it does look like it is probably a good game in it's own right, but after playing for three hours, all I could see was the flaws. I need to let my poor emo, XCOM fanboy wounds scab over before I'll be able to enjoy it as something that isn't really an XCOM game.

This sounds like a great idea. Even more so if you could slot enhanced radar on your patrol craft, in place of one of the weapons.
