Personally, I'd like ot see a more realiztic way of handling damage. In
real life, troops wouldn't take X points of damage, they'd have an arm
blown off or something. More complicated to execute, I know, but with
PIIs, I think we have enough power to cope. 
	Along those lines, something like cybernetic parts to fix up troops
who've lost a hand, leg, whatever. If the alien in Apoc. can have
built-in guns, let's give 'em to the human, too. :)
	Finally, a bit more variety psychic-wise. Don't limit them to stunning,
scaring, or taking over minds. Create about twenty-odd powers, and each
psychic can do one or two of them. Pyrokinesis would be an interesting
one to see, as would a TK 'shove' or a telepathic hologram to make
aliens think an XCOM trooper was behind them.
