Skyscraper map is indeed way too large, one saving graces for massive maps is that once you kill most enemies, the rest will just surrender. But Syndicate has mechs who cannot surrender so you need to clear it out, level by level until you destroy all mechanical enemies so the rest will surrender. This one though applies for Osiron cruiser, just whack 70% of its crew and then put your men in overwatch mode and just skip turns and enemies might surrender as some of then walk to your men to be shot in the head the moment they poke their heads out of the elevator.
Bullet Proof coat, yes the protection it gives (even with webwear) is quite laughable actually since some undercover missions put you against enemies wielding UAC grade weapons... chainguns and rocket launchers. Or plasma pistols/energy weapons in general.
With impresonatron and some hologram projectors i think it would be feasible for XCOM to create a hologram fake appereance for their agents to appear to be wearing suits/civilian clothes but under that they would wear Cyber armour which would also power it at price of no bonuses to reaction fire and night vision as the power is rerouted to the projector. And unless someone touches them directly, nobody will notice it. Powerarmour is too bulky to conceal and the heavy steps would give it away so cyber armour is the best in terms of protection, physical size and utility. Now that would be next level infiltration, faking your appereance to sneak in heavy armour.
To get to dreamscape, the easier option is to get Master Wo Zhu (Black Lotus) and his scroll, then research it and then you can expect to get it. Its one of a time mission and rare to get. But then you can get the dreamscape missions from time to time. Although i was disapointed when i discovered i cannot use the cake to boost psi skill above what the psy lab can do to make super-psiops.
