Thanks. Didn't think to look for it there

If I'm just missing the option the menus somewhere then please let me know. Seems to me we can't though. I have a new base with some new people that need some equipment. I figured I could just send my two new snipers my laser hand me downs since I just researched plasma. I don't get the reasoning for this restriction since we can transfer troops, planes, and even vehicles but not a weapon. I even tried equipping on some troops and then transferring them but they arrived with there m16s equipped, and my laser rifles still at my old base. Would be nice to be able to set up a supply drop with the dropship, and get some much needed weapons/armor to my new base. Or something similar would be just as good. It makes sense that if you have no workers in a base, you cant build anything new there, but being able to send my old stuff to a place it can be an upgrade for another squad would be a nice addition.

Thanks for the tips. I didn't even think about editing the files myself. Hopefully I can keep from making things too easy for myself.

I noticed the troops are only able to see a short distance compared to the aliens. My troops end up getting blue balls of death from aliens that aren't really that far away, yet cant be seen. I end up more often than not having to move a person towards the direction of the fire until they find the alien, which never seems to work out good for him/her. I completely understand this at night, but during the day it would be nice to put a heavy gunner on a road or something, and he actually be able to see down the road for example. Also, it would be awesome if you could put night vision goggles in the squads backpacks that they could equip during night missions to increase the visual range. There could even be upgrades for these later on just like grenades. It fits in with cold war era tech as well. Just a thought.
