Would be great if there was a mod that could allow you to customise the price of acquiring bases, the fact that they increase in price after every purchase makes them become extortionate very fast. I would like to able to set the initial price and how much it increases, if it all, with each additional purchase.
I would like a mod to add different armor and weapon skins. The stats could be the exact same, just different looks. They could be construct-able with the other armor types they are made from to keep game balance. NJ Tech armor, for instance, just reskined as alien space marine armor. Or perhaps have ak and ar variants to battle rifles and w2000 variants for snipers.
I've googled for hours and just read this entire thread but the most important mod IMHO is nowhere to be found: - The ability to turn off automatic unit switching in combat. Preferably with the option to turn off game taking over the camera controls for a "dramatic view" when you fire a grenade on a Scylla etc. If the idiotic "your soldiers are out of AP" -popup could also be deleted it would be fantastic.
Why? - Anyone playing sniper heavy crews still has a LOT to do at AP0 (quick aim and few pistol shots or fire a missile and of course overwatch) and it is outright stupid that the game changes the unit on it's own, usually to some dude on the other side of the map. You scroll back, select the former unit, use Quick Aim and the cursed game again takes over and switches to the other unit across the map and you have to scroll back again to do what you were going to. It feels like on many missions I spend more time fighting the UI than Pandorans. - Likewise if we could switch off the "dramatic view" the game offers for some weapons/hits (grenades and missiles?) then we could ACTUALLY SEE what the hit did; did we manage to disable limbs or break weapons or whatever. Instead the game kidnapped the camera, showed an explosion or messed up and showed me some wall while the grenade hit, and returns the camera to the heavy that launched it on the other side of the map; by the time I can scroll the map back to the explosion scene the notification above the enemies have faded or are fading before you can read them and you have to waste time reading each one's info to plan for further actions. - Removing the "do you want to evac" -popup in AA is an absolute gem of a mod, would it be difficult to totally delete the "your soldiers are out of AP" -popup as well? Same thing as the AP0 auto-switch; I'm not nearly done with the turn yet and don't need to be harassed eight times per turn with a popup that looks like it should only be in a tutorial if even there.
Much as I absolutely love this game these issues are driving me insane so much that I'd give a thousand interwebz, my left kidney and my firstborn son (who might object to that) to get this fixed. So insane that I contacted the devs about these earlier this year only to be told that Kaos Engines was the end of developement and there will be no more updates to the game, ever.
Please note that I plan to activate all the DLC's after finishing current playthrough and am currently using just the magnificent Assorted Adjustments for some much-needed QOL stuff and things like soldiers insta-healing at bases (why would they have insta-healing medkit technology but take ages to heal in a base with proper medical facilities?) plus squad size and plane size etc. and Jarno Mikkola's technician mod that fixes the class plus allows tech paralyze instead of stun like it was supposed to be in the game lore (Kiitos Jarno!) so I'm on base game version 1.20.74719. If these have been adressed in the DLC's which I have yet to try out (hope AA and Tech mods work on them) then forget about this rant :-D
EDIT: Installed all DLC's and enjoying them to the max (despite the idiotic air battle minigame) but NO, still no option to turn off the idiotic automatic switching and still get ten popups per turn about my guys being out of AP :-( Mod makers to the rescue?
Many thanks to all you volunteers making mods (especially everyone who contirbuted to the Assorted Adjustment mod), allowing us to fine tune this fantastic game into what it should have been in the first place.
I would love a mod that lets you choose your stating Phoenix Point base location as a config option. would be nice to start a run from australia or south africa

Don't know how feasible it is to pull it from the older versions though.
These would all be cool ideas, imo
