AI Patch 1.2 Initial impressions

Lots to love, BUT there are features previously suggested I still want to see: such as Away Team Cargo display indicating how much free cargo space remains on the ship.

Like the new terrain obstacles in the cave system. BUT. Need the ability to switch installed AT gear while on the planet surface. It becomes really common to need to switch between AT gear, especially now that the cave systems routinely have different terrain barriers (in addition to lots of "impassable rubble") blocking access to certain parts of a level. Having to not only return to the shuttle but also leave the surface to switch AT gear gets annoying REALLY fast. Perhaps offset by reducing the shuttle's free cargo space for the preloaded AT gear? Logically it doesn't make sense to have unlimited shuttle cargo space while the larger ship itself has a fixed limit.

Why can't we "abandon" AT cargo other than "large objects" in the cave system? No need to track it once we leave the level/surface; it was dumped to make room on the team/shuttle/ship for higher priority cargo.
