Only the latter case can spawn a crash. The roll is made when the fighter is spawned.
Damn I didn't even think that was a thing in the engine.
Good to know about the bank robbery. I think I had noticed a hollow space in there casually clicking around but I thought it might be a place youre not supposed to reach ingame. For baddies like that I usually bring a Knockout Bomb with power armor gal and just hand it to them. Always have like 2 knocout grenades with power armor for that purpose alone, if you dont need to throw it... thats pretty fast and strong.
Due to Printer base having close to 300 runts and a Refinery im mass producing juggernaut and harbingers. Even got several Tetsudos (LOVE) for my slave soldiers who are up into elite stats... lotsa baby nukes from Siberia and Hideout Supply Ships giving me those batteries.
Medical Slicer 25% terrain damage modifier... well that, sucks. And makes no sense. I sure hope the Force Blade sword isnt like that too, its literally a lightsaber. But for Banks I really will need to use Anchor/Pickaxe because it needs a projectile to reduce the half-destroyed Brick tiles down - Melee will say nobody is there but it isnt crumbled enough to walk into. Was ironically using a Barbaric Axe to "chop" my way in and it was sorta working.
Fusion Torches and Mining Lasers are too slow, up front 90+ percent cost can lose you a turn setting up while an Anchorwoman can get started right away.
Im thinking of fielding Nuke Demo Charges more now, the damage is lower than a baby nuke and its hellerium produceable. If I get a Escape Tower itll pretty much one-shot their ship. I can nuke charge the Bank with the Armored Car then sweep in with tools and butcher or knockout whos left. Boom mugafuga.
