XPiratez / Gold codex, Officer outfit questions?

« on: April 29, 2019, 04:22:14 am »

I'm about to start a new run of Xpiratez (may even youtube if I decide a 100+ episode let's play is a thing I'd *want* to ever embark on). Haven't played for a couple of years, so was thnking of codeci. The Gold one in particular.

So, quick question:

I know that the Officer's Outfit is meant to boost the Pirate Flag, etc. But does this go for things like damage calculations on all weapons (melee and ranged)? +100 bravery seems rather nice for turning quite a few weapons into absolute killers (or super stunners) if it does. Even if the rest of the stuff you get is pretty naff, it kicks plenty of stuff up a tier or so in damage, if not in damage-type. There's not really weapon tiers in X-Piratez, but an extra 10-40 damage seems pretty sweet on some fairly low-tech stuff. So even if it's one gal only (can you make more Officer's Outfits if you've got some gals with the stats to wear them?) what a gal she is, even with fairly low tech weapons. Assuming the old Tiny Drill wiki article is still accurate on the stats of that outfit and that the damage calcs work from it. So, what do you get with the Gold codex these days?

Can someone post a piccy or two of the Officer's Outfit from the bootypedia? Or is codex stuff not allowed? I haven't seen the actual stats, or what sort of bravery level you'd probably want before wearing it yet. Since that's the main early drawcard of the codex, I'd like to know before making an irreversible decision. I kinda know how good the later game stuff can be.

Likewise,  a piccy of the whip would be handy too.

XPiratez / So, I'm doing a nudie run. Advice?

« on: April 04, 2016, 11:29:30 am »

I figured I might see if doing a run using only the "nude" outfit is possible. Mainly just for the challenge, but I also find it funny.

I was wondering if anyone had some good advice so I've got a chance.

Rules: Davy Jones difficulty (Jack Sparrow is just too painful).
Only Nude outfit. No armour, no other outfits, ever.
Parrots/dogs/tanks are all allowed. You're not wearing them.

Problems: Each gal only has her two hands as inventory slots.
No armour means no tanking even weak weapons.
Not much inventory means no smoke spam, actually needing dedicated medics, next to no ammo, etc.
Bravery/morale ticks down even faster per turn than normal.

Benefits: Easy to kit out.
Saves plenty of research and manufacturing time.
Turns are quick because there's very little inventory management or drinking requirements.
Awesome stamina and reactions on everybody.
Bravery ticks down without people dying, which trains bravery. I've already got one gal at 100


So far I've done two missions (one night mission), have lost a gal, have 2 wounded, gotten 3 captures, and my parrot died. It's going pretty well.

Medics are just strong gals with X-grog barrels and a weapon. I've just gotten my cattle prods, but will probably keep a few sets of knuckles for quick hits. Flamers are still great (even better with the amazing stamina), and lack of smoke hasn't been a huge problem yet (I usually use 4-6 smoke gals, restock the initial first turn grenades in the bonny, and just use them as stun mêléers after they've laid smoke paths).

I've got a few bows, and will get more as my crew gets bigger. I take the boarding gun for its high ammo, flamers similarly (4 good shots are better than 10 bad ones), and a sniper for camping.

Haven't really bothered with chucking stuff down from the bonny yet (though I should).


Are there any weapons that people think would be essential for a nudie run that I'm missing? Especially in the early game? High ammo and high damage are about the only needed requirements, short range doesn't really matter.

I'll keep this vaguely updated until it all comes apart, just to show if it's possible.
