Contracts

[Solarius Scorch]

agreed... btw do you think the "zombies" should not attack exclusively humans? I mean while the chrysalid inside is controlling it to an extent, it just seems to wander around aimlessly most of the time and appear to be mindless berserkers which would mean them attacking their fellow aliens (wouldn't it?)

There is plenty of ways to explain it away, most likely some sort of pheromones. Or psionics.

possibly, would be nice to see variations on chryssalids though, like maybe one that detonates itself when it gets too close, or one that spits acid and can stun you then plant eggs inside you but will generally try to avoid being spotted by you if at all possible, or maybe even one that is a really small bug (about the 3x the size of a regular bug) that can bite squad members and is hard to kill with anything but aoe weapons? (ok maybe not that last one...)

The so called "Contracts" I thought of are generally weapon and item requests. These requests have a time limit to deliver the required items and expiration will decrease the country's opinion of you. Success will not only increase the country's opinion of you, but earn you more money than the requested items are worth in the market. Countries who have signed pacts with the aliens may request items as well and will reward you more money than they are worth all the same.
