I did use Interceptor's lore as one of the sources.

Why don't you just rename one of your gals? Or even all? You may even change her look by RMB on her when equipping.

Just a quick though: the ol' family (ol' revolver, ol' shotgun, ol' carabine) seems to be missing of a last one: ol' rifle ;D it may be the current flinlock rifle to be renamed like that? And since the ol' revolver and six-shooter are basically the same weapon, the layter being more accurate, may it be turned it the pistol i suggested here? With dmg 27, to put some interest in it :D

Efit: oh and please may the x-bow be a bit faster? '(less TU to fire and reload)

No, because it is not old - you produce them.

Efit: oh and please may the x-bow be a bit faster? '(less TU to fire and reload)

No. Also it reloads basically instantaneously already.

A little suggestion about flintlock guns and black gunpowder - If they all use "self-made black gunpowder", then all "primitive firearms" shots must produce a cloud of smoke at muzzle. So, when a group of gals fires flintlock salvo - they shoul produce some cloud)

Dioxine already had this idea, but needs new engine code to support it.

Well for now we must resign to a conclusion that Uber Wheat just doesn't produce that much smoke :)

snip
Why Star Gods would "attack" earth if T'leth were here from 65 million years? We know that they knew about T'leth.

I've always thought of T'leth as some sort of semi automated seed ship or the like. Send it out ages in advance of your actual colonists and real forces to make sure there is something compatible to your member species when you get there. Even with gravity manipulation engines intersteller space is still huge. At least here in piratez it would seem that long distance travel is via linked black hole jump gates. Nearest black hole to earth is 3000 light years away. If xcom universe warp cant break the speed of light it is probably a significantly longer time then a mere 3000 years to the nearest jump gate, never mind how long it took to slow boat the parts for the local gate into place at the "local" end.

I see, enemy fighters sometimes try to intercept your crafts. Nice ;)

When your craft(especially transport one) passes near some enemy secret base - closer than 500 or 1000 km from it - what if this base launchers this faction's fighter craft to intercept you? yhis means you'll have to travel more carefully(avoid strong fractions base) or provide fighter support to your ground operationd.

While it could be an interesting addition, I see a couple of issues with it.
First, the coding part would have to be done from scratch (if it's at all possible to add 'interception' code to alien base which is essentially a permanent mission).

Second - that would handicap doing alien base missions to the point in game when you can successfully intercept whatever the base throws at you (a Fighter would make the most sense). Not sure how exactly escorting Xcom craft works - does the escorted vessel enters combat along with all escorts at once (gang up), or all vessels one by one. If the latter, you are even more screwed - you'd have to leave all base and supply missions alone until you have a craft that is able to take an enemy fighter 1-on-1.

Thirds - that would limit supply ship 'milking' and that mission is already hard enough. On the other hand - if you can take down a fighter then that could be exploited as well (how often would the base launch interceptors? each time?). A downed fighter is an easy fight and has 1-in-3 chance for at least one of its engines to be intact.
