Shotguns are a reliable way to quickly reduce shields.

Ninjas - I feel that they are meant to be a counterside in the compaign of the global dominance.
Meant, the Ninja Seeker - Is it the final stage for their development?

[Zippicus]

I just assumed that the ninjas were included as a rival organization to play into the whole ninjas vs pirates thing.  And clearly pirates would win

Is it me or does Xpiratez also seem to have some cyberpunk themes as well?

sure, mostly the Euro-Syndicate.

Think of X-Piratez as being Russian anime . . . where there is just really no concern whatsoever about genre. Just think of how many anime shows and manga book combine western, sci-fi, fantasy, and crime drama all into one, because none of that matters in comparison to whatever story they can put together. And like the best anime and manga, Dioxine actually manages to put together a good coherent story without having to worry about genre. That's the only reason most ever do bother with a genre at all, it helps keep things coherent.

I've had success using pikes and spiked maces against guild masters in some early campaign base defenses.  The spiked mace was on a max strength, near max melee gal.  The pike was on gals near the end of dojo training, and I had to resort to just inflicting a few wounds then running away and let blood loss knock him out.  Lost all but 2 hands (out of 10) to that one.  Miniguns are good for chipping away at his armor to the point where other things can hurt him.  I'm playing on difficulty 2 (John Silver, I think?), so I don't know if this would be viable on the higher difficulties

Can someone name all the transporters that can do 0g missions?

This is pretty accurate, expand "Vessel Environment Matrix". Few might be missing and few might be changed, but overall... Most is right.

New version uploaded. Enjoy!

New version uploaded. Enjoy!

Yay!
 

By the way

Spoiler:

Does the Red Tower spawns enemy units as the Summoning circle does?

EDIT:

- Update: Sandbags removed from researchable items

More questions.

Do I need to keep Meanace class ship or can I safely replace it with better transport ship like for example Thunderhorse. Example switch Metallo to Thunderhorse.

[Rince Wind]

Update: Possession slower in general (both AI and player's), buffs to voodoo dispensed where due to compensate (Terror same as was or faster)

Do you mean progression? Because only thing I connect with possession is the doom faction.

[silencer_pl]

It seems that with new version I cannot build Autolaser, though I can disassemble it or construct batteries and no I don't have it in the workshop queue. I even selected hideout with no workshop and filtered in facility missing.

- Fixes to Robin's Apocalypse ship tilesets (Airbus, Aircar etc etc), some map updates

Hey Dioxine, do you remember what you fixed? I'd like to know so I can eventually fix that too.
Thanks.
