Stuff I'd love to see in XPiratez!

[Rokksta]

Playing a male touch route for the first time in a while and I can see some opportunities to give the guys a bit more love, outfit-wise, especially in the early game.

Guys are missing an equivalent to the Sailor/militia gear in the sense that they don't have something with an exp boost. Either something like a martial-arts gi or just straight up make it a version of the sailor suit, stealing the paperdoll from the Osiron goons or the guild pilots respectively would do the trick. Or IDK schoolboy armor or something if you want to be cheeky.

The early game exp-armor is Pyroman. For the other things I more or less agree.

I hate the fact that my cats don't have an exp-armor.

Of course it is the one armor I have never, ever, built. Dismissed it as melee armor for units that weren't that good at melee (and I had crusader in the bank from romanica start) so I never looked twice.

Been playing a bit of the 40k mod on the side, and I noticed the way they handle encumbrance is different. Being over encumbrance drains stamina instead of time, meaning a low-strength unit can still fire a crew served or heavy weapon just as often, but struggles to move it very far, which seems more optimal. I'd like to see that mechanic make its way over, especially since I'm doing human-centric runs right now.

Me too  hope we're go na see next updates...i'd also add:

1) would be possibile add some kind of craft device to double missile capacity? It might be handy i think

2) a bayoneted flintlock pistol? It was not much uncommon see here:

Ideally, you should be able to put bayonets on anything.
Flamethrowers, Rocket launchers, hand grenades, medkits, bows. ANYTHING.

not on flamethrowers, it would obviuosly melt... jokes aside, some mmore bayontable tools would be nice.

[nicedayright]

Bayonets on landmines, bayonets on craft weapons, bayonets on knives, bayonets on magazines for weapons that also have bayonets

[Delian]

Why put bayonet on rifle when you can put a rifle on a bayonet?

It alreaty exists, It's called Valkyrie.
Ah, that's from X-Files...

[Solarius Scorch]

Also remember to put a bayonet on your bayonet, so you can stab while you stab.

[ontherun]

Would be also to have a specific events happening every now and then for each country in which player sets his main base, for instance latin empire has duels with noblewomen (it is the only one if im not mistaken)

[Tamren]

Yeah that would be neat. Even the relatively "boring" nations like canada have a lot going on in the background. It's a peaceful place but it only stays that way because of a well funded military keeping the deep ones and technocracy infiltrators at bay. So you could have events where you get to rub shoulders with some bored nobles. Or possibly even full missions where you have to help the locals fend off a deep one incursion.

And that's one of the "boring" nations, imagine the fun you could get up to in australia.

oh come on! Actually, we all know that ol' rifle needs absolutely a bayonet!! Putting a dagger on it via manufacture screen?? Come on!

A bit more seriously, bayonets were for centuries very important part of soldiers equipment, till the beginning of XX  one, so could get some more attention even  in 2600s...

some other ideas:

how about to add some french foreing legion stuff? The jetzail musket and the scimitar are already in, maybe new type of enemy riffian alike that might be a subnecropirate faction...and an outfit for slave soldiers inspired by the legion...named "legionnaire"(!?) Might fit well to the games since the piratez are very international...

also some napoleonic stuff (?)

I was wandering also about another kind of musket eventually to be named "improved musket", "cavalry musket" or "short musket" or "wheelock rifle" with a bit more range, accuracy and TUs usage. That said some of alike-mentioned stuff should be used to extend the low tech phase of the mod for sime more time (4/6 months? or even a year!)

maybe the wheelock tech would be nice:
