Well, thank you for the responses, I kinda did some notepading on what I'd like to do, so big old wall of text inc.
And yeah, it was kinda like armory, but my big thing was like, I want an improved viper canon, more dependency on earth based weapons (alien alloy ammo), and better carriers (WTB 10-12 soldiers up top with side and back exits with 3 HWP on bottom plox). And also make the game take longer and focus on research, production, training the troops like a grand old war.
Wall of dreams (Oh, and there was more like the alien examination/reproduction stuff giving you even better medbays till capping out at reducing injury time at 75%/80% reduction:
