The Xenonauts fly in via the Helicopter, it seems bizarre that they wouldn't at least have a cursory knowledge of the area they are landing in. Obviously they wouldn't know where the Aliens themselves are, but they would know the location of buildings, landmarks and the crashed ship just on the basis that they have had an aerial view. It makes sense that they would at least make a cursory survey of the area before dropping troops in. I think it would be good to have the map revealed, but not in FoV. So we would be able to see buildings etc and where the ship crashed down (not like it can move heh) but its all fogged out. Instead of having it completely black.
I would also like to see a cover indicator on pieces of cover so I know from where my soldiers are protected and possibly if it is full/partial (like the half shield and shield of XC:EU) because as it stands it is sometimes difficult to tell if this is a full cover rock or which directions it covers from.
Having the projected move path of a soldier follow the cursor automatically would be awesome as well. I can't say the number of times I have accidentally moved a soldier by accidentally double clicking a square.
