Bug Bombs!
Grenades containing swarms of friendly alien bugs. Throw and watch them swarm your enemies.
Throw out a new type of grenade that summons friendly alien biter bugs to help you!
Basically, all it does is summons upto 5 alien_biter NPCs at the impact site, which are controlled by the "local_forces" AI on the civilians turn. They will roam, seek, attack and even kill any hostiles they come across. Absolutely amazing fun throwing into a UFO full of aliens to menace them. Hostile aliens/cleaners will fire at them too, making them awesome distractions.

Can be researched and manufactured after the first cleaners research completes. (Will lock it behind later tech, for now this is to make it easy to playtest with). Takes a little time and like $1000 to build each one. Again, this is for playtesting and just for funsies right now.
[Future plans]
Now i have the spawn logic solved – I am working on capture+release "capsules" for tamed/recruited aliens… Yeah thats right… gotta catchem all… and put them to work for you. 😄
