How about a new building? An anti-air missile battery, to replace/supplement the aircrafts shooting down the UFOs?
For instance a UFO is too far away for the F-17 Condors to reach it, so the commander decides to launch some S-300 missiles.
The fight is auto-resolved and the UFO is lucky or.. not..
Having the AA missiles would be a good option, if against larger UFOs, to soften the taget before the fighters finish the job..
The building would be "cheap", but would have a high upkeep (to replenish the missiles). Maybe like the radar, you would build more than 1 building to increase the number of AAs launched when intercepting a UFO?

For me, the Androns roles ingame wouldbe something like this;
Andron Servitor - This is the "tireless worker", usually unarmed, but can use small arms (pistol/rifle) as an emergency.
Andron Soldier - This is your typical expendable troops, first in/last out. used mainly to guard/scout but also to provide lots of
"cheap" firepower, mainly equipped with rifles.
Andron Hunterkiller - The "Elite", few but powerful.. Used to hunt down tough enemies (YOU!) or as a bodyguard to leaders...
Luckily they are rare.. max 1 on map?!
For research?! Maybe better eletronics, exo-armor, advanced ammo...

@drages: If you are going to add new "requirements" to gain access to new research/workshop/base upgrades etc. You should focus on making a "Technology Tree", to easily keeping sense of were you are and were you want to go..
Also http://www.openxcom.com/ has some nice ideas for mods..
/2cents :-P

... I'm currently stuck on the topic of weapons...
Hello Kabill!
Have you looked at the other UFO/XCOM games for inspiration?!
Or how about the mods for OpenXcom, XCOM:AI etc. Plenty there too..

Also how about Warhammer 40k, i know its somewhat off-topic, but it got a few gems for both melee and ranged stuff.
Happy modding!

It could also be fun, if it was us invading an alien world..
And we were the aliens trying to defend ourselves!
