Spacertech Raiders for Outlanders and Pirates

Adds additional raider types for pirates and outlanders, who are consistently armored in power armor, have bionics, and are well armed.

Designed to make the late game raids by pirates and outlanders more manageable without making raids too easy, this mod adds in a number of very well equipped pawndefs that will generally be preferred over conventional pawns. Largely designed with CE in mind, where the well armed and armored pawns provide a fair amount of challenge, but should work fine without it, just that raids will be significantly weaker in a sense because quantity is way more important in vanilla. The raiders often will have bionics, biocoded equipment and death acidifiers as well, just for reference.

Outside of some adjustments to the faction point curves (it is adjusted so that you shouldn't be getting the strongest raiders outside of the strongest raids), it shouldn't conflict with too much stuff hopefully, that being said, as part of the implementation I've set it up to mostly require specific tagging. This means that the new pawns won't really select from all weapons as readily, but the following mods are accounted for:

Combat Extended
Combat Extended Guns
Combat Extended Melee
Vanilla Weapons Expanded (Core module only)
Rimsenal Core (If installed, there will be manufacturer specific raiding groups and raiders added for outlanders)
Rimsenal Vanilla
Royalty DLC

Bionics wise, the following should have appropriate tags for the mod as well:
[FSF] Advanced Bionics Expansion
Rah's Bionics and Surgery Expansion
Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering - Forked

It should still work even if these mods/Royalty isn't installed, and has some slight tweaks depending on whether certain mods in the above list are installed. If you're running CE, I'd suggest loading this mod after CE, as it will override CE's changes to the threat point scale which might result in you getting raided by a guy in cataphract armor on your 2nd or third raid.

You can suggest other stuff to add support for if you'd really like, but I'm pretty lazy so there's not really any guarantee I'll get to it, especially if the mod isn't CE compat, since I don't usually play without and if you use this mod without it I can't guarantee that it's at all very well balanced, as I set the numbers based largely on CE's defensive specs for power armor and such.

I will try and figure out any bugs if you give some info in the comments but once again, can't guarantee much. It's pretty much purely XML and a ton of patchOps, so it really shouldn't break anything. Preview includes stuff from CE guns and CE, just for reference.
