lifting off their ship with said terror units on board

Dunno when, but that stopped working some time ago.  I tried to take off with a merc shock trooper on board and didn't get him, I had to reload and stun him first.

I might be remembering this wrong but I thought the disassembly options were put in due to people doing crazy things like lifting off their ship with said terror units on board.  And who knows what the future holds, maybe they might be able to be captured sometime.

 :D ;DD it wasnt, werent "crazy things, - it were wonderful, cool, & very funny crazy tricks!  :P

anyway, it´s a bit sad, amuch sad, that tricky possibility (up-lifting, & "kidnapping enemi hard-stunnable (big) units) was blocked, dis-avalaibled.. ;S :/(

i hope dioxine will return it into game, someday soon.. ;S

Never.

(Mostly because I don't do code, "just" the mod, so I couldn't even if I wanted; but I did ensure that bug was removed).

As for the "useless" options... better have them and don't need them, than don't have them and get the game crashed when a player does something unexpected.

Stealing intact / combat-ready enemy units with the "abort/flee" function makes no sense.
Considering a team 'stole' a functioning cyberdisk/howertank that way or something extremely tough like a merc shocktrooper
I doubt that the team inside the craft can deal with them off-screen if the commander can't be bothered to deal with them during the battlescape in the first place.

If we apply logic further to explain why the enemies 'vanish' from the craft off-screen It's something like that:
[=] anything that can fly/hower on it's own breaches though the doors of the craft and escapes back to the team
[=] anything that can't fly/hower will be tossed out of the craft to secure the safety of the crew

is normal for this version, it may or may not go away in the future, as it was dioxine showing off the new transformation OXCE+ code.

The confusion is understandable.
Basically it was a bug, but Dioxine thought it was funny enough to keep it in this version for laughs. That's why it's called "Halloween Comes Early".

Shove them into the pilot-seat of any fighter-craft and let them hunt civilian traffic that doesn't shot back at you.
Dojo/Spa and missions while wearing the shadow-armor suits.

Does Pilot seat improve firing/reactions/bravery up to maximum? Dojo/Spa don't do that right?

Yeah, piloting can train firing, reactions, and bravery up to their maximum.  Dojo/spa has a cap on firing and reactions, and it doesn't even train bravery.

Fast way to train bravery to 90:
Run Nudist on a map you can clear without any risk of taking damage (like church raid while wearing guardian armor) and go full-capture with the gals.
Stunning enemies doesn't raise moral. The lokk'nars / peasants / slaves / ubers will panic once moral drops to 49 and less.

Everytime they resist panic, they can roll for a +10 bravery growth. Around 3-4 rounds of no-panic and you're good to go.
HP, Str and Stamina also increases with every resisted panic round.

Use ropes while you're at it, they also train bravery.

True. But I usually go with whips to train throwing.
Firing/Melee is quickly trained but throwing takes a bit longer to get a good throwing-arm into the squad. 60-80 throwing isn't the best value to start with in an environment where every turn counts.
