Bear in mind that higher-point pawns won't appear unless your colony is worth quite a bit, but you can use the dev tools to try out bigger groups.

What this does is add new definitions for enemy pawns, and adds two tags to the existing weapons, namely the minigun and the R4 Charge Rifle.

Mercenary Heavy: Equipped with a Minigun and be decked out in power armour.  More silver when dropping loot.

Mercenary Assault: Equipped with an R4 and decked out in power armour.  More silver when dropping loot.

Pirate Thug: Equipped with the best non-power-armour protection.  Has more money to spend on guns, drops more silver when dropping loot.

Pirate Engineer: As with the thug, but smaller loot and comes equipped with an R4.

Because these pawn types have a higher point value, this may reduce the amount of pawn spam when you hit end game.  I don't know for sure yet. ;)

Changelog:

v1.1.0

  • Added missing FactionDefs entries, which allows the new pawns to be used in spawn groups.
  • Mercenary Heavies now actually have enough money to afford a Minigun.
  • Outlanders will get access to the Assault Mercenary, but not the other types.
  • Thug is not too common at the moment.  Adjusted their weapon spending money upwards to a max of 250.

v1.1.3

  • Altered TougherFactionDefs so that a Merc Heavy spawns in with a Sniper, an Assault and two regular Mercs.
  • Thugs will now spawn in pairs.
  • Defs are case sensitive - changed Mercenarysniper to MercenarySniper.

Screenshots:







You will note from the above screenies that if you use Aparello, the new pawns will choose from the new options available without you needing to do anything. :)

It's not working yet.  But I think I know what's wrong.  When I've got something, then maybe I'll get you a screenie.

(That's kind of why it says 'Testers Needed')

Some initial thoughts.  The heavy with the minigun tends to end up mowing down a lot of his own guys.  Tempted to leave this as is just for giggles, but no.

To make it a bit less likely, the heavy will spawn in with a larger group, so it's not three or four guys with miniguns riddling six guys in front with bullets.  Snicker.

1.1.3 seems fine, not as much minigunnage as before, but the Merc Heavies are popping up with groups now in my test game.
