It's like taking your car to the mechanic when it's got a problem. When the mechanic checks it out, the car works fine. :)

For the docking claws, you need to rotate them before placing them by using the middle mouse button. When placing a docking claw, the game checks if the place you are putting it is legal, so it needs to be next to a mainboard tile. The reason you can't rotate it after that is that when you select the rotate option, the game checks if the new placement of the rotated docking claw is legal. As the rotated docking claw would be overlapping the mainboard, the game won't let you rotate it. I should remove the rotate option from the right click menu as it will never be legal to rotate a docking claw.

Targetting other marines: I'll add this in. As for targetting aliens with the plasma gun through other marines, you can already do that. All aliens in the straight directions away from the plasma marine are targetted, even if another marine is in the way. If this is not happening, then that's a bug.

Targetting an empty square: You can already do this also. When you have the missile launcher marine selected, hold down the "Control" button and all targettable squares will be shown.

1. Are you using the latest 1_4_1 version? That issue was fixed in that update, unless you have that version, then the fix didn't work.

2. I've managed to replicate this and will look into it.

I've actually started adding in Mission dreadnaught first as this expansion will be easier to add as it's just some new weapons and dreadnaughts. Although adding the tarantula will undoubtably cause me headaches.
