....cause holy hell the building components for the conqueror. This thing is gona need an entire dedicated base just to assemble.
Feel free to post in the bootypedia thread, or start a new one. 
App grabs all soldiers from all bases, their names, missions, kills and current stats.
There are two buttons - one to open save files and one to save CSV files with soldiers stats. Those can be opened with almost any spreadsheet editor, including google docs.
To install - run setup.exe from publish folder or try sde\bin\Release\sde.exe to run it without installation.
Source code is included, so you may look at it and compile it yourself with Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition.
I am sure there will be bugs, so contact me when you find one.
That cool moment where you research Kustom Power Armor armor for the
first time and acquire your first JUGGERNAUT SUIT!! Though not
invulnerable, the ability to step out and tank significant reaction
fire is really nice.
After playing multiple missions with one gal in this armor, I began
to notice the differences between the Inventory PaperDoll image that
conveys the kluged together nature of this armor quite well with its
graffitti and spikes etc, and the fairly generic purple/grey powersuit
battlesprites being used for the soldier.
I decided to fire up MCDedit and begin to try tweaking the
battlesprites. I started with recoloring the eye lenses to green.
Then I worked on the shoulders to add the spikes,
with some success though the side views are difficult to convey.
Added some graffiti on the torso next. These are the easy parts
and are used almost constantly in the battlescape. Legs and arms are
much more tricky, as they have multiple positions in the sprite sheet
so I worked on getting the graffiti on the left arm in all of the
static poses, and the right leg's skull as well. Now, these show up
pretty well, where ever the unit is facing. I tweaked the death
sprites to put spikes on the shoulders and messed with at least one
facing of leg animations.
At that point I decided to try it out in game, and its pretty good.
Good enough, that I decided to be lazy and call this good enough,
as modding the rest of the 160 + images feel like they may just not
be necessary.
Chatting with Dioxine in the irc channel
(https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=x-piratez) confirmed that
he is not definite on the final nature of this basic suit of
"Junk Armor." His review of the original inventory image
shows thats its lacking depth etc. With Bloax's graphic work, or
other inspiration, this armor may yet undergo significant changes
before the mod's final incarnation.
With that in mind, I decided to release this as a mod, that would
include all the current assets (as of .98A) so that it would be
able to stand alone, and continue working if the other assets change
in the PirateZ master. I also included the alternate Corpse sprites, so this
may need reworking after OXCE 3.0.
Once again, huge thanks to Dioxine for all his original
and franken-sprited art that I further Franken-sprited for this mod. Further thanks to
Bloax and the gang in irc chat for feedback and tips, and for the
team on the OpenXcom forum for further great advice.
The site is currently being backed up. Within the next day or two, the plan is to move it to the new server and get it back online. There maybe an outage with the move (I'd guess at most a day or two). DNS caches may need to update, so some users may not get through immediately when it comes on line again.
Purple chips over $65k every 31 hours. These are quite significant.
