WorkForce

WorkForce is a group run by technologically advanced AIs, this faction focuses on energy weaponry and defensive drones. While the Techion were testing AIs at Techion Tower Labs, Their Security Defence AI, *Comet, Went rogue, took control over the Tower Lab, and killed *Force the research AI along with several of the scientists. The AI that the Techion were testing, *Engi, Managed to shut *Comet down before any more damage could be done. After Techion Tower Labs was back under control, *Engi escaped and founded WorkForce in memory of the friend he lost. Several big-time AI corperations have put a price on *Engi's AI data, But nobody has tried to track him down ever since he killed a team of seven elite browncoats with nothing but a pistol, and a combat knife.

Most of the stuff for UL2 and Void Wanderers support is done, I just have to wait for weegee to update them and add my mod to the list. See bottom for manual enabling instructions.

UPDATED ON 3/3/2015

Energy shotgun with two ammo settings.
Pros: Good fire rate, good firepower, decent reload time. The nano ammo is extremely deadly at close range, and is also effective against both craft, and doors.

EN-9 Sidearm
Short range powerful sidearm.
Pros: High capacity for it's power, great fire rate.
Cons: Short range, only good as a backup weapon.

EN-9 Akimbo
an offhand version of the Sidearm
Pros: Looks badass, sounds badass, and really IS badass, Because now that you have two you can use them to replace a primary weapon.
Cons: You still have short range.

NV-33 Flintlock
A revolver with nano ammo. Saddle up, cowboy.
Pros: Pretty fast fire rate, and filling a target with all six rounds will likely mean the end of them, fast reload too.
Cons: Short range.

EN-NineSeveN
A suppressed machine pistol that fires 9.7mm AP rounds.
Pros: More range, firepower, and more accurate than the EN-9, with a two round burst fire. Can also be held with a shield or offhand weapon.

LV-66 Retegedunt

Pros: Very high power and fire rate with little knockback, long ranged too, more accurate at long range.
Cons: Not very accurate at close range, lengthy reload.

BG-12 Blastbarrel
One touch of the trigger flings deadly corrosive chemicals at the poor sod standing in the way.
Pros: Good range, Good Firepower, great Anti-Aircraft weapon. No vanilla actor stands a chance from one well-placed shot.
Cons: lengthy relond and low capacity.

DR-2 "Jackhammer"
Twin barreled rifle, well named.

Cons: Three-round burst means you only have five shots, long reload.

Tools:

LS-12 Energy Saw
Looks are deceving, this wimpy looking case creates an energy blade meant to cut through heavy materials, or people.

Cons: Short range.

Actors

AIBot
A common WorkForce AI clone. Good for anything you have in store.
Pros: Lightweight and fast, decently durable.
Cons: Weighted down easily.

Shield Drone
The best thing in this RTE. Indestructible frontal shielding!
Pros: Frontal shielding is unbreakable, offers portable cover for infantry units, HIGHLY effective in long corridor firefights. Has a jetpack for transportation.
Cons: It has it's limits, some heavy weaponry can knock it over. Explosives are effective against it. Five hits to the shield holder from behind and it's over, no turret. Also, sometimes the jetpack can be hard to control.

Anti-Material Drone
A slow, heavy drone. Equipped with a high caliber anti-material rifle for anti-armor and dropships.
Pros: Long ranged, high-powered, with a ten round magazine. The bullets can tear through dropships and armor like butter.
Cons: VERY LONG reload, no armor is equpped to the drone, it is also slow and heavy.

Ripper Drone
A lightweight, fast drone designed for close quarters combat.
Pros: Fast, light, and holy sh*t can this guy jump. Equipped with a particle field designed to tear apart enemies with ambushes.
Cons: This thing can take a few hits, but is designed for ambushes, base defence, and sneak attacks, so frontal assaults are a no-no.

Mining Drone
A drone designed for resource collection.
Pros: Digs through dirt, stone, and concrete with incredible speed, large magazine, wide pulse, also equipped with a jetpack.
Cons: Can't dig through metal. It is also very weak, and the jetpack is hard to control sometimes.

Craft:

Grasshopper
A dropship with turrets mounted to it.
Pros: Great for dropping off troops during combat, useful for taking out other dropships and for light infantry. you can control a turret while the dropship delivers your cargo, and the turrets never need to reload. Equipped with armor plating on both sides.
Cons: The turrets have no texture, and you can shoot the ship by mistake, not the engines though, nothing can hit them.

After some grueling, irritating, and downright miserable bug chasing, I finally got down to adding more drones, this might be the last update you guys will see for a while.

That's it for now,
Thanks Guys!
