Its more like randomised stats cap, not stats in itself.

I belive that Piratez have something like that in form of Freak Gals that can have starting stats that greatly exceed stat cap.

This is more of a mod design policy, than a new feature.

That is the point, you wont know a units potential unless you allow it to bloom on the battlefield. I love for a way for this to work with enemies too, with slight variance between bandits, and robots etc having no variance at all.

Saw this cool thing on the 40k forums, would be a nice addition to the random nature of troops in xpiratez - random stats

I guess so basically. with movement only allowed inside the craft - would be a lot of CQC.

Fantastic option, makes certain weapons that reduce TUs really useful now.

So they will react to movement with a melee attack of their own if a unit just steps into melee range in their 90 degree front arc?

So in the situation detailed above, which sounds wonderful btw, will they also react to you moving and coming into melee range if you move into melee range in their 90 degree arc (if they have high reactions), the three tiles directly in front of them with a melee attack-potentially before you do a melee attack?

Aliens react to movement already. Trying to stab someone in the back or running past them should provoke a reaction but I digress.

I would love to see boarding. Launch a missile from a craft with a low speed high reload time which on hit "destroys" or "forces a landing", while still being in the air (blue tiles to represent air, I dunni). Mission could have a strict time limit and it could only really work with larger craft I suppose. Failing that a boarding pod launched from a base.
