Where the heck do master crafted weapons parts come from? I've only found one all game.

[Dioxine]

Master Plasma Pistol, a few enemy vessels, enemy bases.

Thanks for the patch!  Quick question, how were flintlocks nerfed?  Just started a new game and peeked but didn't notice any changes.

Also while I'm here, is there any way to see which gear is usable underwater?  Got lucky with the harpoon gun since I played TFTD but otherwise, no dice.

You can use either the combobox filter in the Craft Equipent screen.
Or the quicksearch feature in the Inventory screen.
See attached.

Great, thank you.  I found quicksearch by accident but didn't know it was capable of that

Trying to build my bases "defensively" with segregated hangars and firepit hallways is the dumbest thing I've done in this game. Every base defense mission is a nightmare as the enemies stand around in their starting positions and make 4 accurate reaction shots a turn.

It would be best to put the hangars in the middle of the base so that I can launch my "defense" of the hangars from all sides.

Blindfiring heavy ordinance into hangars usually solve that problem very nicely. Camo also works quite well.
Hangars in the middle may cause a slight problem where AI suddenly decides to attack (usually at least half of enemies are on the attack, but sometimes they all are) and one side gets swamped.

Does ICBM has any purpose? other than selling for 7.500.000 do$h?

Can't research it and it has no bootypedia entry either

A question: was character generation tweaked in 0.99E.3 to give your starting gals generally lower Bravery? It's just a subjective feeing, but in my last few game starts Bravery was generally around 60-70, with maybe a few 80s. Now I've just started a few games, first out of curiosity then out of frustration, and it feels like you're almost guaranteed to have one to three gals start with 30 and one or two 50.

Since training Bravery without exploits (lingering around in rags with only one enemy left) is really a bit of a bitch, it's kind of annoying.

[Dioxine]

Actually it's the other way around, since a few versions ago your starting gals start with superior bravery, rather than 10-70 range for all as it was before.
