A lot of players find base defense missions annoying because your base can be very large and complex, and the aliens can wind up hiding in weird places. Most veteran players choose to build their bases in a defensive style which puts their soldiers in the chokepoint between the hangars/access lift and the rest of the base. But why can't the base come equipped with security cameras? I'd like to eliminate last alien hunts from base defense missions so we can focus on the more fun parts where there's action happening.
I know the base defense mission automatically reveals the terrain, and I'm thinking it would be fairly easy to simply not hide the aliens' image on the battlefield even if no soldiers see the alien. You'd still have to search with your eyes to find the aliens.
I am also interested in other modding possibilities to add base security, including but not limited to:
* aliens show up as radar blips on the map or battlescape
* security station facility which can shoot at aliens
* weapon installments that can shoot aliens
* individual security cameras which count as a unit to provide sight to a specific area
