Dude, take a chill pill. I get that you think green sucks, what people are trying to point out to you is that it might not necessarily suck for everyone depending on circumstances and playstyle, so no need to get all butthurt and defensive. For the record I've played every codex plenty of times. I only got snarky with you because you ignored some valid info so I assumed you were just stirring up drama for no reason.
You kind of missed the point Legionof1 was making. I could elaborate but I would only be saying the same thing he said above, and you would probably disregard it as well lol. All I can say is that the value of the codex goodies is subjective, one man's trash is another man's treasure and all that.
Had the UBERGAL__3__CHAIN_F39 not found in assassin armor - quick way for the player to avoid it is to go to a gals inventory in equipment loadout screen in base (vessel - equipment - inventory) and hit m on the offending gal's screen - this allows you to change her apparance. Doesn't fix the bug, but at least dosen't crash the game each time I want to use my pirate queen.
I will point out that green also is the sole codex with the crystal skull. And vamping 50% of dealt damage as TU is pretty powerful. But yes most of the green codex's benefit is either front loaded(extra lunatic class gals, charger laser, bonny's carry capacity) or very late(pestulator, cyclopses).
Fyi biosuit is codex related, grey doesn't get it. It's not everyone.
Codex choice should not be based solely on the items unique to it alone, that's a dishonest comparison. Its about the whole package. It is true there arn't many mid game items that green doesn't share with at least one other codex. But this is intentional design. Not every codex plays equally. All codexs only have a handful of unique items anyway.
So have been playing the mod for a while now, still on my first try, but then again I started on low difficulty for a reason, really enjoy it even if it's very confusing and baffling sometimes.
Anyway I had a couple of questions:
1)Is there a way to see if a craft is underwater capable before buying it? For example I looked at Snake (wiki tells me it's underwater capable in the article about the tiny drill): I checked bootypedia entry, I checked extended stats, but that doesn't seem to be shown anywhere that I saw.
2)Is there a RELIABLE source of apples? In the beginning I seemed to swim in the things, since almost every mission was lokk'narrs or ratmen, and there was always apples on the ground. Nowadays I have 2 bases with 70 runts each, and that setup seem to have gone through my 270+ apple stockpile in a couple of months making wine. Now I need some to make Rum as field healthkits... And last "help the lokk'narr" mission didn't give me any despite stating an apple reward in the briefing (all I got was 20+ sectoweed).
Green gets the savior armor, IIRC, which has the best healing in the game, and I think it can fly, also. It also gets biosuits, arguably the best tanking armor in the game, and the pestulator suit, which has a special attack and is also tanky.
I think green also gets you tamed cyclopses? Cyclopses are great auxiliares since they can strip armor, boost morale and tank rockets with their face, actualy getting them can be really annoying though.
Green has pretty good immediate benefits tho, 3 extra (escaped lunatics?) gals make up for a pretty good early boost.
EDIT: I do agree that there's a large gap in general usefulness between the vessels you get with each codex, though.
Definitely, since it becomes completely useless once you build a better one, AFAIK, like in vanilla. The new one also acts as a minor defense battery during crackdown approaches, though it doesn't do all that much.
The one that doesn't act as a radar is the hyperwave decoder, IIRC, so don't desconstruct your long range radar once you get it.
