<Evilgamer> UI movement request, this is difficult to phrase - I'd like to see a (w)alk command added (shift-direction?) that will 'follow terrain' in a direction. Essentially a subset of autoexplore, instead of randomly exploring, it would attempt to move in the direction specified, but auto path around obstacles in the way, and intelligently stop using existing logic when hostiles are spotted etc. This would be super handy in jungles with annoying trees in the way (I want to run to the east side of the screen) or in dungeons (I want to explore along the river to the northeast, I want to explore southwest around the piles of gas and other nastiness to my west), by giving you a movement option that is automated enough to prevent the danger and awful feeling of manually walking too fast into a turret/psi being and getting splatted before you can respond.
