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 
And this way I don't crash the game

Crazy Hair Human Mage Battlesprites attached.  He also has hints of the symbol on the pocket, etc.

[Dioxine]

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

[Surrealistik]

Goddamn, I should have kept quiet about the Ghost Dagger.

[Dioxine]

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

[Surrealistik]

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.

[Dioxine]

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?

That depends on the player. You cad

Just empathizing with the game plot

[Dioxine]

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
