Upgraded Pilots

Description
A fairly simple Single Player mod that augments ALL pilots, increasing ammo, speed, and firepower. Original modifications were done in the unofficial "1.8 patch" and have now arrived in Workshop! Furthermore, I've upgraded it to be TRO compatable, as the original 1.8 was not meant to be used with TRO.

Note: This mod does not affect APC soldiers. Not even the speed boost. Just no. APCs are strong enough.

Features:
-Pilots now move faster. No chance of outrunning most bio-metal vehicles but returning to base is now less tedious!
-Pilot ammo capacity increased to 10 (pilots with ammo greater than 10 to begin with are unaltered)
-Standard Issue rifle is now more like a machine gun than the pea shooter you're supposed to "defend" yourself with
-Plasma Rifle overhauled! Fires explosive balls of plasma that do substantially more damage than the original. However it now consumes ammo

Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Original "1.8 patch" credit goes to user Radigator wherever he is. Thanks Ded10c for having that name for me to put here!

No apologies necessary. You're gonna have to work a lot harder to offend me than that.

That being said, if you want to learn to design maps and make your own scenario with this mod integrated into it, you're more than welcome to do so. Just credit Radigator and myself for the tweaks. I'm even happy to help you load it in.

This is not a "do it yourself, forehead" thing. I genuinely cannot make maps to save my life, but I'm happy to help with anything else. The community can always use more modders.

Ah, my apologies. I'm new to Battlezone so I didn't realize mods were map-based.

Multiplayer mods with BZ are a bit unique. Strictly speaking, this mod can be loaded into any multiplayer map, but it's tied to said multiplayer map.

And unfortunately, I'm a sorry map designer. This is the best I've come up with using this mod.

Wish we had a multiplayer version of this

well, the mod screen don't tell me that... thanks for informing me :D
of only there was a golden standard for how to signify such things.... Oh right "SP" and "MP" might be a way... darn devs lol

Red and Green colored mods don't have to do with whether or not the mod is working. It has to do with whether or not it works in Multiplayer. Red mods are single player only, whereas green ones will work in Multiplayer.

Shows as read in the mod menu, so i guess it's out of date? game is version 2.2.301 now, so maybe your mod here needs update?

Well Seqan, i finished TUQ and several Black dog and Chinese missions, i didnt have upgraded pilots on, but i did have the Increased Draw Distance mod on.

And i mean, a mod is a mod, i earned achievements for each map finished. :)
