Might also be fun that if you lose a dropship or leave people behind you have an immediate % check for an alien raid on your base. They interrogated the survivors and know exactly where you are.

One idea is to have player airstrikes kill civilians too. I haven't played in awhile and never done them so maybe they do this already. In a perfect world with unlimited development time you might then include pilot skill ratings or rate munitions accuracy for close air support to give players a choice of holding back their best pilots / most tailored gear for airstrikes or just sending Joe McPilot with big dumb bombs knowing that many will die. This could open up a research line for improved close air support munitions so in order to efficiently run this you'd need to focus more research time on an air strategy.
