Would be cool if in a future game they had a feature like alien defectors, and the possibility of getting alien scientists, engineers, and soldiers to join your side. Maybe they could give different bonuses to your facilities where they're assigned, and boost your research when you play a mission to help one escape the aliens' hivemind.

Full squad of Hunter Protocol SPARKS with extended mags is scary, doesn't matter if you spook an enemy pod on your turn, you'd probably kill off half of them without needing to take any actions since it's almost guaranteed each spark will have a free shot at someone, had one mission where I spooked a Sectopod on my turn but it got put down to 3hp before I could even take action since the SPARKS took grievous offence to it trying to walk up to them and hitting every line of sight en-route.
