Ugh.
I hope I'm not too late for the living quarters issue.
I am completely opposed to the changes, and not because Xcom did it, or it feels strange, or just because it's different and I don't like things that are different.
It's because it'll be one less facility to give your base shape; One less facility to defend. So what happens if I decide to build a base dedicated completely to research. All it needs is labs? It would LOOK way off, where would I house all the scientists? Living quarters would actually hamper me since they'd take away space for more precious labs, and, if aliens assault the base, the defending garrison would be spread along the entire base including living quarters making it painful and difficult to defend. As it should be.
A world without living quarters would be a world without glue.
