Well, you won't have to. And "cheap" Workers is not so cheap. Save some cash for better use :)
ps. Like every single Seagull Missile will cost you $50k. What a cashgrab... :)

Can`t destroy that droid infront of that building. Thought, melee weapons would do it. But NO!

You really should look at the resolution options for this game. Playing it 'zoomed' in that far is going to be seriously painful as the game progresses.

Didn't we go with Janissaries? Or is that a different improperly named enemy?

This is what I did in the X-Com Files, but there is no guarantee Piratez will do the same.
In fact, I'm not sure I did the right thing... Perhaps I should have just call them Gillmen. (after all, they are former humans... with gills.)

Another thing:
Are there aliens in pirates? Still encounter "only" mutants and humans.

Yeah there are, just not as easy to meet. (Fortunately.)
And some of them basically live on Earth now, so... they're not exactly aliens any more :)

Think of them like the Danes in France and Britain in the Middle Ages, basically.

I have to ask again: What are you gonna call the actual TFTD deep ones when they get implemented in this mod?

In the german version of TFTD they have a name that would translate as "Abomination". I find that quite fitting.

Concerning Workers: They function as an item with negative size. Just buy them and have them in your vaults.

"And why do I get negative points for killing enemies? See the pic."

Some enemies (mostly civilian or mutant types and especially Government) will generate negative points.  Its not much of an issue though, over the course of the campaign.

Yep.  You get negative points for some of the characters there.  Killing will more often yield negative points than capturing, but even some captures will yield negative point.  It just the nature of the campaign.

What about the bughunt mode?

Have missions, where it triggers after round 20, some don`t.

And what about Laser and plasma weapons. Do they appear in pirates?

And what about the airbus? What do I have to research for it? In the techtree I can`t find it.

There is only one 'flyable' Airbus, as far as I’m aware. The one that gals hijack at the beginning. It's unique, you can't build or buy another one Airbus and this vessel is not a military-grade in anyway.

If the pirates had more access to historical records, I imagine they'd call their slave warriors Janissaries, but they don't.  I think it's a fitting name for enslaved soldiers, which those gillman guys kind of are.
