Stuff I'd love to see in XPiratez!

[Dioxine]

. As for balance, musket and flintlock pistols may become avaiable afrer havin research "Contract: merchants" (therefore should be removed from bootypedia at the start of the game) as well as the hand cannon, blunderbuss and boarding gun, avaiable after the topic "bigger guns"

That will never happen, it would be ridiculous to push these basic weapons further out.

Ok. I've also noticed that when ground assaulting academy vehicles, 99% of time i encunter only airbuses, rarely the ambulance one. Please may the latter may land more frequently and and for some more long time?

As for gunshots, please pay a look here:
https://it.audioblocks.com/royalty-free-audio/gunshot?search-origin=search_bar

usuful site for other sound effetcs and music. Moreover, to complete the ol' firearms family how about an ol' machinegun?

A couple of candidates here,  a 1917 vickers machine gun, or a lewis gun, i happen to prefer the latter

Attributes suggestd: buyable at black market after unlucking the merchants. Damage 36 weight 14

Edit: after unlocking "contracts: fuso" a new weapon may become avaiable to buy at the market:the Jezail musket!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezail

litgher and less powerful (damage 35) than a flintlock one, but has more range?

[Rince Wind]

What has Fuso/Japan to do with the Jezail?

And I don't think we need another musket that won't be used any longer than the current ones.

For cheap/primitive machine guns we have the rotogun.

I don't know, but would  be nice if the quick dwar slots may be doubled, at least for any outfit, so tat a sword may carried along the belt, the pirate, rogue and swashbuckler one would be perfet for this. Example on an extract of the inventroy screen attached.

Academy airbuses only show up for like the first month. I didn't even know ambulances COULD land, but since it only has a small engine there's no damage to the structure of the ship if you shoot it down. Their main purpose is to force relatively easy early game hideout defenses from what I can tell.

[Poulpiche]

I have no idea if it's feasible, but I thought it would be nice to have a way to know directly in the tactical phase if an enemy is unknown or if it has already been dissected or if there would still be some things that an interrogation could bring for research.

I would have put that somewhere in the inventory page, the one you access when you click on the middle button on an enemy.

I'm sorry if this is too twisted a request and thanks in advance.

[BBHood217]

Those ambulances are also your only way to get to Dr. X.  If somehow they all miss your hideout and never do a hideout assault, you'll have to work towards getting craft weaponry to shoot them down and salvage them.

Doesn't that exist already? If you middleclick again on the paperdoll you get the opponents stats. If you didn't research him at least once you don't get that page.

[legionof1]

It appears if you have researched whatever leads to the corpse, or the corpse itself.(Some corpses are on get one free lists) The live capture won't give you the click through from the paperdoll.

[BBHood217]

You can also use this feature to find a certain robot in disguise, as its disguised form can never be researched.

That site doesn't allow free DL's, you gotta subscribe and I don't subscribe to more sites than I absolutely need to.

There is a light machinegun in the game already, which serves a similar role.

Not a bad idea, but it would require a whole new type of ammunition, also I don't have a sprite. That means lots of work for a weapon that has no feasible niche - what enemies would use these? Ninjas maybe? Hard to say.

[misterx]

No.

OK, but if we consider:

guess it is difficult than i thought to catch dr x

At least think about some renaming?

Don't know if modify the current flintlock musket may be a good compromise, as for ammo just use the same flintlock balls sprite? Only a bit smaller yep ninjas may use these instead of regular musket

Too similar would be confusing, also "modify current musket" still means "new sprite" I don't have.

Allright then...there would you go?

[Dioxine]

That's not a sprite, sprites are 32x48 max, 256 colors xcom palette.
