Okay Okay, i know it is wayyyyy to early to start asking this, but would there be ever be a way to make so that you can play the as The Aliens? Back a while ago there was a project called X-Com: the two sides or something along those lines that had a idea where you use the Alien missions for different objectives, those most notable was using Abduction missions to harvest humans, and then that would be used to research new units. I hope something similar could be made. I also had the idea myself that since the Aliens start with light scouts, when you start out you would have a light scout ufo with a crew of maybe 3-4 Caesan Non-Combatants armed with plasma pistols. Of course there would be alot of re-balancing to be done but hopefully this could be implemented as a total overhaul mod ^.^
EDIT: Ive swapped out the Psion for a Non combatant Caesan, and tried to make the plasma pistol replace the ballistic pistol, but have only had very slight luck with the images. If anyone can help or teach me how to do it correctly, it would be much appreciated!
