Congrats Meridian for getting a named weapon. Now I'll use scatter and shotguns more, a lot more.

No congrats needed, you can have the same, provided you have enough Dolaros to burn, sailor ;)

Thank you :) I was supposed to be a named rotting corpse somewhere in the mansion basement first, but this is much kewl-er  8)
And this way I don't crash the game  ;D

I'll keep that, but I prefer the sprite with the hat and shades - looks more dignified, as he should.

Bah, the changes to Supply Ship deploys would hurt more, if you weren't already bloated on them :)

What was the turn count decreased to?

Mind that my clear times were substantially hampered by not having the Bonerventura; they have improved significantly with the Prospector due to the extra action economy.

By not much, 2 turns or so. It's just noticeably less Gauss in loot, and no more Baby Nukes for easily-scared GOs. No radical changes, no, but less reward for what I think is the same risk.

Major updates include:
- Crafts need pilots now, and pilots contribute bonuses to craft performance (OMG it's like living in a dream, first dreamt up in 1994!); code by Meridian

This made me think: Would it be possible to allow your crafts to be shot down and become rescue missions, rather than just getting destroyed in the air?

As ststed in Solar's wishlist; interesting, but i'd see it in other mods centered on the xcom; since the pirates are just criminals tahr din't xare each other, asude from sheer utilitarism. Sab but true? :(

If it was dependant on me, I'd always try to rescue the pilots. But any good game should allow you to act evil and/or stupid if you wish so; otherwise it's just high-and-mighty, righteous railroading.

Right, but from a bunch of pirates who make a living on "protection" and loot, i'd expect only evil. But this is judt a game, so woukd be a nice option  :)
