Haven Defense/ADVENT Invasion missions bugged

The ADVENT invasion missions, what replaced the Retaliation missions from Vanilla XCOM, are very bugged. This is mostly due to Pod behavior, as they will dash to kill a civvie, then dash towards your squad and attack them. It really doesn't make sense for ADVENT/aliens to have 5+ move points during their turn on these missions. Its especially disheartening when you have an Advent MEC who dashes,kills a civvie, then dashes towards your squad (which it can't see), then scatter, then hit you with its missiles all in one turn. His pod did include a Berserker though.
I understand that enemy pods are supposed to attack when they run into you during their turn, but that behavior might need to be disabled for these missions as it just makes the aliens look like they have as many moves as they want. Also I'm pertty sure pods aren't supposed to move after they've shot a civvie.
Additionally, when a unit is by the psionic relay, I can target them with my snipers and mark them or shoot them with Squadsight. I can't shoot the relay though.
ANOTHER bug. Sometimes if you save a civvie, they don't run off but instead become part of your squad as a VIP. The civvine within a blue move of the shinobi.
