Leaving aside niggles around AI competency or balance of skills, tactical combat is engaging.
I would love some sort of skirmish mode, possibly supporting multiplayer, that lets you spend a “budget” on members of your squad and their equipment and fight it out against another team (possibly an AI preset).

A map like The Assassins pitting a squad against a battallion of security droids armed with the dreaded Zeeker would be … awesomely nostalgic. Yes, I’m old…
