Balancing the Surveillance Drone
I came back to Xcom a few days ago to play with mods for the first time (i already finished the game without any mods on L/I) and i wanted to see how amazing the Perk + Alien mods are.
I am actually extremely disappointed balance-wise, because in the early stages of the game the Surveillance Drone is <simply put> overpowered on the hardest difficulty.
Stunning a unit for 4-turns is insane, when you might not even have the tools to counter it early on and you cant focus on it all the time.
Why not a 2-turns stun? If my soldier gets stunned for 4-turns, i can say goodbye to that soldier.

The biggest issue with the surveillance drone is it still gets defense when it is shut down.

I had this ridiculous situation happen to me on my last mission. My specialist shutdown the drone on first turn and on the next turn he goes to shoot it. My incompetent specialist misses the 60-70% shot but manages to hit car next to him. On the aliens turn my specialist dies due to explosion because he can not shoot a box of metal lying at his feet.
