For my end, megapol scrubs are armed with plasma guns.

Just trivia: actually ccom apocalypse featured some megapol issued hardware, check here, so seeing these in xpiratez might be cool. If these are in robin's mod "from the apocalypse" might be featured also in here?

Megapol tends to adopt plasma after the first year, though some might retain the earlier weapons.

Ok but please make them throw away that niner! It's second hand trash!! 

Edit: another thing, as of L2 Light machinegun is needed to unlock krazy hanna's contact research, but you have to be lucky to stumble upon it. How about to change that?

[MemoryTAS]

you can also get the research from gun almanacs, and lmgs aren't uncommon in prepper boxes.

Searched more that five/siz times, but once again i was unlucky 

Also military and police shotgun should have switched their stat, i assume bacause te military one is supposed to be superior?

And enemy armored cars and vehicle in general may get a lil simbol that shows that have been damaged, like happens with living units who get a couple of blood drops?

And somtimes these vehicles get way too much overbearing!!

 

[MemoryTAS]

The police shotgun and the military shotgun are good at different things, they really don't need their stats swapped. Police shotgun allows for better range whereas the military shotgun allows for quicker firing. Also police shotgun can't use AP rounds.

Some observations:

1) As for crazy hanna contact, i'd propose that gun emporium unlocks it, may be more fair and make more sense i guess. Probably it's an important point because without middle-heavy weapons player won't be able to engage even middle tier enemies. Other possible solution is to replace it with the assault machinegun, more common by far than the light one.

2) Austere dress should get at least a 2x1 pouch as it is now it's nearly unusable, even castaway outfit allows to carry more stuff (see example screenshot attached).

3) Turtle should not be a codex craft, but a black market one, in its bootypedia description it's told it was hidden by the thiefs, so it has to be unlocked after some research.

4) low-res radar, hi-res radar and overcharged radar should be allowed to be built one on top of another, making these upgradable facilities.

Just in case you didn't know, the blood drops do not show that the unit has been damaged, but that it is bleeding(has fatal wounds).
It is possible for a living unit to be damaged without any blood drops symbol being shown. Vehicles never show the symbol because they do not bleed.

Thanks, i know, i'd like to see a similar thing on enemy mechanical vehicles, be these wheeled or not

If you want to know if you damaged an enemy, on L2, it flashes different colors upon hit depending on what is being damaged and how (note that armor damage is included). Additionally you can press ctrl + h following a hit assuming there is no reaction fire. Alternatively, use Brainer outfit/Mine Probes.

I know also that, i'd prefer a more simple and straightforward approach using the middle mouse click on an enemy unit; an icon of cracked gear might be fine...

[khade]

What weapons are common tends to change based on who you're fighting and luck.  We'd need far more than a single run to determine that a weapon that's used to unlock a merchant is too rare for the purpose.

That's likely why we have things like the gun almanac, incidentally.

Or ctrl-alt-h to list hits since start of the round.

But in the bounty level D mission "sins of the father" pirate outfits should not be allowed, the church would alarm is seeing someone dressed like so? As of L2 it's still so 

Edit: as for the turtle, it might be unlocked after some reseach involved bandits, or automatically when completed the topic !bandit business!
