For us alpha-testers who keep playing and playing and playing these builds, how about an option to export our squad (name, callsign, stats) to a simple text file and import them into another game? Yes, editing the text file could lead to rampant cheating, so remove it in the beta or only leave it in for premium builds or something... But that way we can keep working with the same people, instead of having to remember new sets of names every single time we start a new game to try something different with modding or file editing or tech trees or due to bugs or etc.

One of the things that I noticed about X-Com and the X-Comish games that came after it are the stories. Tales of derring do, of close shaves, of cheap shots. The stories that most often got shared on the interwebs were the exploits of the best/most amazing squaddies that rose from the herd. The meatsacks who were never expected to last more than a mission, that went on to outlast ever other guy who came before or after. The guys who made the hardest, most difficult shots, but couldn't hit a barn door five feet in front of them. And I was wondering, would it be possible not just to share the stories about these squaddies, but to share the squaddies as well? Would it be possible to have some kind of an import/export function where we could export the squaddies who we were really proud of, so other people could import them into their own games? The value it would add to the game would to help foster a long-lasting sense of community among the players (I can just imagine people swapping and trading their best guys). There's an awful lot of attachment that people put on these bits of pixellated flesh (as evinced by repeated requests for things like memorials and full name changing ability). This would be the next logical step.
