Squad Radar Humping
Playing with a laptop is a challenge, seeing as i have no scroll wheel, but I'm still managing to find quirks. When I activated the radar, my squad was stationed around it (they were trying to get to a point inside the object actually since i was having a hell of a time activating the dish) and when i was able to get it going and all that, when i sent the squad through, only the leader went in. The other three stood there humping the dish and making horrid noises. Trying to get the first guy back resulted in him getting stuck on a mountain (likely I could have navigated him off but I was angry with him) and I decided to terminate the program. However, only the first guy terminated, the other three stood there grinding away at the poor dish. The program wasn't active anymore, but they were still there. I'll see if I can reproduce it shortly, but I though I would report it before I forgot the details.

I've had a similar experience myself. I tried sending a bunch through, realised only the leader made it, tried to terminate the program, but the rest were still alive, a few seconds later they emerged from the radar and just sat at some random point on the map. EXPLOIT ALERT: These units basically cost nothing, but they still fire on the enemy, you cannot command them, granted, but they would make excellent senty.

I had a similar but different experience.
I had lined up a set of three radars (A--->B--->C) like so and sent a squad of six through dish (A) expecting them to all come out at (C). But not so.
Five stayed at (B) and one made it to (C). The one that made it stayed with the squad, the other five deserted.
This shows me commanding them all to fire lasers but only the one that made it to (C) is (hard to see so circled in red). The others just stood there.
So I terminated their program and the five deserters were still there. I regained control of them and sent them on to (C).
But when they arrived there they were in two further squads. Both squads (circled in blue) were in my task manager seperately.
When I tried to give one of the groups an order they all exploded. (No screenshot as I didn't expect that at all!)
I have been completely unable to recreate these series of events/bugs.
