Probably not, i assume MOCX has its own Psi soldiers. This mod modifies the vanilla ones.

If I have MOCX, would MOCX Psi that captured turn into alien hunter class?

After playing a campaign with this class I can give some feedback. This mod does not help the issues Psi Operatives have at all IMO. If anything it just makes them worse by limiting their ability pool with 'dud' perks, so that you'll be even LESS likely to bother with them.

The Boltcaster gimmick was fun at least.

I wonder if it would make more sense to add this as another type of psi operative in the game, and keep the vanilla as well. Iridar just released a very nice improvement to that.

After all, even Vanilla offers 4 soldier classes, 3 hero classes, and SPARKS. It would make sense to have at least 3 different flavors of psi units, and this one fits nicely as a hybrid between a full psi and a soldier.

The Alien Hunter is a mod for the PsiOp, the way it is trained is not changed. So yes, it requires a rookie.

Can any class be trained as this or must they be rookies?

Dont like the fact its a psi and not like @DerBK class mod where it uses the pistol along with longwar mod for wotc.

Oh, sorry, didn't notice it. Thanks!

The perk tree of the Alien Hunter is made up randomly, but there is Raise The Stake somewhere on it. Just not necessarily on the first slot.

From the description:

"Note that your Alien Hunter is not guaranteed to start with RtS, but he is guaranteed to have it somewhere on his perk sheet. The Psi Chamber will offer you three random perks from the perk sheet per level up, so you should be able to dig it up."

Strangely enough, when I trained my Alien Hunter and rolled for Blast Padding perk, he didn't appear to receive Raise the Stakes. It isn't displayed in the barracks and doesn't trigger on enemy kills. I'm using ABB TLP and no other psionic mods. Any ideas?

I am currently not planning to do anything further with either Psi Ops or the Alien Hunter.

Would it be possible to see an alternative version of this class that does not use/require the PSI Chamber? That room is the primary reason I dislike the vanilla PSI Op class.

No worries, can fully understand that. Once I've sorted a couple of PC issues I've got and managed to get a full playthrough done, I may look at seeing how to get them uploaded as seperate class mods myself.

Sorry, but i am already spending an excessive amount of time with this modding thing. I need to restrict myself to the stuff i actually use myself for my own sanity's sake.

As i keep posting in all my descriptions, anyone is free to use anything from my mods in any way they please. That means you can either do this mod yourself or find someone else to do it for you.

@DerBK I understand that, and it's one of the reasons I commented here rather than on the main ABB mod page, it's something I'd like to see as an 'optional extra' like the Alien Hunter is. I've actually managed to make both classes using richard's 'create your own class template' mod, copying the code over from one of the ABB classes to get the randomisation, using the Akimbo class mod and Favid's Extra perk pack for their class specific perks. I'm actually pretty happy with how they have come out. I've never used the SDK and have no experience properly modding so I can't publish them myself, but I could always send you the file I have the code for them in, if you wanted it ofcourse.

@MrCloista: Sorry, must've missed your comment until now.

In A Better Barracks, all classes are defined by their secondary weapon. For that reason, Alien Hunter became the "Psi Amp" class. Twin Pistols and Riot Shields introduce more dependencies than i am comfortable with. I can't ask people to sub to those mods now, it would break ongoing campaigns for those that don't do it. And pulling the resources and code of those mods into ABB is a bigger task than i want to handle. So those aren't going to happen for the foreseeable future.

And one built around those riot shields.

@DerBK I must admit, I'm torn. I love the idea of this class, BUT, I really wanted to use a different psi overhaul mod (eu/ew style one). Any chance of possibly getting a 'standard ABB soldier' version of this? If it's not something you'd do yourself, is it something that could be potentially done fairly easily? I'd also love an ABB style dual-pistol wielding class, come to think of it...

@Raged:
This mod requires ABB:TLE and will not work with the old version of ABB.

@Stuff:
You can. Your existing PsiOps will be renamed to Alien Hunter, but it will keep the vanilla perks. To get a proper Alien Hunter, you need to promote a new Rookie.

So, if I load this mod what happens to the research options for 'vanilla psi ops' and 'ABB psi ops' in the lab? Do they just disappear?

Can i add this mid game & what happens to the psi opritive that i already have?

All psi perks are still present, but you might not always get them on a soldier due to the random element in the perk tree. For example, every Alien Hunter will have either Domination, Null Lance OR Voidrift. But always exactly one of those three.

Could you add "Rasie the Stakes" as its own GTS perk in its own mod? I love my psi op, but not enough to sacrafice them. Unless... Domination is still present in this "Alien Hunter" class, as well as void rift, null lance, and soulfire
