I am happy with whoever wrote the lead scientist lines

More characters in general would be welcome. For instance, the scientists get to snipe at the engineers in research debriefs or ufopedia but the engineers don't get their chance back, perhaps also add a debrief text for production projects? commenting in the sidelines that how the arrogant scientists are being overpaid (really in game :)) ? Pilots could chatter about their engagements "Roger that", "Locked and loaded!", "Mayday mayday!" etc., or even ground combat could include popups from soldiers about their status "Fire in the hole!", "Hostile ahead!", "Under fire" etc. Seeing how the science text has character, one never is satisfied with what one has already. :)

+1 to everything.

On the bottom left side, with a bit transparent text of operative chatter. Add a million phrases they can use. No voice overs though, unless you give us the disable option.

I second the call for engineer comments. As an engineer myself, I can tell you that any lead scientist who regularly commented like that would not survive long. At the very least, the 'prank' shown in the Reaper research entry (the coffee machine right next to the containment tank) would be a minor one, unless the engineers can see it as a two-sided thing.

Yes, let the engineers brag about how they tightened up and streamlined the specs that the techno-weenies sent them and thus used less alien alloy to make a particular item.

Is there a thread or spot on the forums where we can point out spelling/typos/grammar issues? A game with great storytelling deserves polished text entries.

Keep up the great work!
