An expansion is only mentioned on forums, so I do not think that it is official. Lots of ideas, floating around.
Perhaps!

Comical? You are not referring to the B-Movie like Intro are you Sir? ;=)
the Human Enhanced Plasma is a decent Rifle.
Seems better than Warp Assault no burst but you can actually reload it :=)
The Mutants are much more easy to kill than the Rec's 'specially if you have some Gat's.
I have the 'Capture Ferry' Mission now but as I only approach 30 Bases I think I will continue freeing the NonFree World.
also I have 3 Patches of Biomass which need to be handled :=)

No, I am referring to the game in general, even though it is bleak. I went back to my old squaddies on the easy game though, because Medium difficultly is harder.
I have not had the same squad in the game, since, and I started another couple of games, but I am just restarting, and still not past Area 51.
Otherwise there's different moods to the squads in general. I like my clunky squad better.
So, I am playing further with that game and doing Area 51 over.
Ya, until go back to the medium game.
I also played one mission over on that one, but a different soldier died. Thank God!
So, one of these days, I start a game, and play it out, no matter who is on the squad.
I will keep the easy game though, just to start over with that squad, maybe.
See any strange dancing lights in the sky lately?
Oh, that dancing light is in the game!
Though, at times I may just go outside, and look up, at night -- late!
I am just having some preliminary fun with the game.

It does not take too long on my machine, and the game I run at slow speed, since I am slow. 1.8gHz Celeron, which is not a speed machine. Seems like it takes longer to load, but for the most part, not even 30 seconds, probably. More like probably 15 seconds. Seems longer though.
The game looks a little fast on my machine. I think with my old 500mHz, fast speed still be fast enough.
So, I can keep them moving well enough, at slow speed, and I like that speed.
I am still on easy mode, although I started a game on medium level.
Missions change (random), but I noticed more towns it seems on medium right away.
Taking my time, I guess!
UFO entering is something still to research, then I guess, all will go to .......... that place down below!
If I can, I'll go from mission to mission for a few then break!
I need the break~~~

Oh, ya, I turned off some of the voices also, and much better, except when I look at them all for the loadout on the screen then when returning, they all confirm, at the same time. I like that though, 5 voices at once, like a ~~ squad!

You can also open the Door in Tutorial the normal Way (which is less Fun I assume)

all the Time.
That got me through Dreamland 2 at least.

The mouse will change into a double outward sided pointers at the base of the door. Whoeven you clicked on to move, will then also open the door by clicking on that different pointer at the base of the door. He/she/alien will walk or run up, and open the door with their gun leveled.
Sometimes I think that players are getting lost when giving orders to the squaddies. If you start an order, then halfway through cancel it, then wait a second you will see what the squaddie is going to do. Since it is real-time, the player just can not change his mind halfway through changing loadout or something like that, the place where the squaddie is going will indicate whether the order was really cancelled or not. I have done that my self, so I had to issue another order, since I mucked up the order I gave.
It could be better so a total plan comes out, but the player has to do it in order. It is best to change the weapon first, or whatever, before moving, although at times I wanted to change the weapon at the end. Then if doing that, the player has to wait for the order to start, and issue the second order at the end.
I have not read enough of the manual to know if a continuous plan can be given, but I do not think so.
Maybe in an expansion or update, that will happen.
But, it is usually better to change the weapon first, then move the soldier, so an Attack command can be given or a cancel order can be given (Cancel all orders), so another command can be given if necessary.
Once the player gets use to it though, it still works good, just have to give the orders right, even when moving all of the squad, but I give orders, one at a time, and the player has to wait, sometimes, so the order will finish -- especially when changing equipment. On the screen it will show how the squaddie will end up, not that the squaddie is done yet with the order, then, another order can be given, or the squaddie will end up without doing the order -- especially when changing weapons or getting the medikit out from the backpack or whatever.
Once the player gets in the sequence of giving orders at the right time, the game gets fluid, but since real-time, the amount of time it will take for the order counts down at the soldier's picture, with the hour-glass icon, and the number of time it will take for the squaddie to complete the current order.
