ATV stands for All-Terrain Vehicle, so "ATV vehicles" is redundant. It would be better to write "Allow ATVs to initiate UFOs."

ATV vehicle it's like "ATM machine", lol

This is probably something needed to be handled in two ways:

  • Translations that use the local equivalent for explaining abbreviations in a full string for example "Allow All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) to initiate UFO recovery missions" which would be the formal English way of explaining in this case
  • Improvements to the More Options Screen form that allow scrolling or wrapping of long text strings so that full sentences can be used

I will also add that this menu may work better if the top half was changed to one wide column. I think the ability to read the full text of the options would look nicer and the cityscape and battlescape options could still be separated vertically. Thoughts?

I think that's a super fine idea @Kurtsley. Do it 👍
