I was thinking of a way to give missions more variety, and I came up with the idea of a "random events" feature. Basically, during missions, random events occur at random times.
Examples might be a weapons drop or aid drop, so new equipment appears in the battlefield as if dropped by a plane, or scenery might change, due to an explosion or something. What do people think of this idea? It would only happen if specifically chosen as an option when generating the mission.

It sounds like a great idea for a one of specifically designed mission. Maybe something like a Gladiator Arena style mission where everyone starts unarmed and weapons are randomly dropped into the area at random times and places for people to fight over. It might make a really fun 3 or 4 player mission.
But as for it being a feature to use on the majority of the existing missions - then I doubt I would ever want to use it. No.
It could also have random objectives added dynamically to different teams, as killing an specific enemy unit with an specific weapon that has been dropped or reaching to a escape square in a certain number of turns.
This kind of features could be fun but as Deadlime says I would add them to an specific mission.
