That latest one is definitely one of my favorite hairstyles thus far. I'm partial to green I admit and I like that it's more restrained than most of the others. The wavy nature gives it texture and it just seems to 'fit' for a buccaneer lady 

I look forward to more!

Looking good! In regards to the synth suit, I'm more partial to the green myself, but that's what mini-mods are for! Everyone's happy.

- While the TAC armor gal's eyes pierce nicely through the visor, it feels like she is gazing through our soul with the helmet off.

The tac armor gal is one of my favorites for that reason, though I can leave the hair (I'm one of those who will personally lean toward more practical styles). She's the freakiest of them all by looking like she crawled out of the bowels of some hellfire ridden place. I tend to find myself quite immersed in the game's scavenging, irrecoverable world and the aberrations portrayed by these paper dolls do really well to fit in with my mind's eye of this great mod's setting.

That's just me though, I can totally understand where people are coming from if they're not into it and prefer other aesthetics.

I just want to encourage Bloax to keep up the good work and I hope you to keep experimenting on that hair! I'm not huge on the brighter colors nor the more wacky styles (Sentiment I feel both toward yours and certain ones in base X-PirateZ). I have no problem with them, I just hope to see some more that are toned a couple notches away from the anime margin.

2) Not quite more contrast, but it's certainly more moody:

me likey

That said though I like what you're trying with the multicolored hairstyles. However with the blue and red style on the night ops gal, the blue blends in with the darker skin somewhat and the red stands out as something that is floating above her head in a way. It might be mitigated with a lighter skin color wearing that particular 'do or a color reversal but idk, no matter the case hope to see more stuff!

Thank you very much for the mod. I got a Game Over two years into my first campaign after I ran into bad luck during a pogrom and just couldn't recover (I met the star gods for the first time - those are some BIG explosions!). Despite that it's a bunch of bodacious babes just having a killing of a time, I've enjoyed the world building very much and I am continuously immersed. The flavor text packed into everything makes the geoscape come alive in my mind and I love imagining human appropriated saucers zooming lonesomely across desolate landscapes.

My time is made better due to me not being an original x-com veteran, I only found out the franchise existed when the 2012 game came out. Because of that, my experience with the mod is just as much an exploration of it as it is an exploration of the original game. I'm already looking forward to sparking up a new campaign and starting the carnage again!

Great work so far! I can't help but be reminded of Baldur's Gate when I look at your ladies, it's probably due to the shine. As another poster said, you really capture the old timey PC aesthetic quite well. While I enjoy the dolls existing in the mod already, I'll just love to see my gals looking like the freaky mutant amazons they oughta be.

The only other comment I'll make is in regards to your great Night Ops attempt, looks wonderful though I personally feel a more prominent/traditional NV Goggle like the original would be better than just a thin visor.
