played on legendary with ironman, pretty much OP

No need to apologize - and that is good news! I did not expect that little line to be the problem. I will add that to my list of updates and make the change in the future. Good job finding that.

Excuse me for posting again. Actually i removed the whole ";()), \\" , not only the ";())". My mistake in my previous post, i am sorry.

Ok , i think i got it. In your XComClassData.ini, at the lines that are defining the stats of the soldier according to his rank. After the "AbilitySlots" line , there is a ";())" , in every rank. I remove that only for the squddie rank. Although it didnt work for the existing soldier, it worked perfectly for a new one that i promoted to "Generic Soldier" , which his PCS slot now is available. Personally i am gonna remove that ";())" thing from every rank, cause i suspect it also disables everything else also that is being typed after it. If you want to check it yourself, maybe you will come with a better solution.

I haven't been playing lately and I don't remember, but I will keep an eye out whenever I get back on (eventually)

Just one more question. In your playthroughs, does the PCS slot opens ,and keeps open, as the soldier ranks up?

Thats weird. I am heavy of classes mods, but very carefull about any other mods, and i use very few outside the ones that a class may need. I will try to check it out and try somethings, based on my limited modding knowledge. Thank you for your effort.

I checked the code and it appears to me that everything was set up correctly. I have no idea what could be causing that. It is literally a copy and paste of the Ranger class and then some parameters were modified, but I did not alter the CombatSims stat (which determines if they can use PCS).

Thank you for your fast apply. Please let me know about anything you might find. I like this class so far, and i believe it was a fresh idea.

No it was not purposely de-activated. Thanks for letting me know, I will check that out.

Is PCS slot in purpose deactivated? I am at Lieutenant rank and still is grey, although i do have spare PCS's and the ability to use on my soldiers.

Sure, I will add that to my mod wish list.

can you make a class like this, but less powerful and able to use all weapons?

I just want a soldier type that is rather weak, but can fill out all roles.

I just looked at that class to compare. This one has less abilities but also has higher stats (Hp and Aim).

So, the Rifleman class but with less stuff?

In theory yes - but Gatecrasher only gives you rookies. IDK, I might reduce it to something more reasonable. Going to play around with it a little more.

Looks like you could do Gatecrasher with a single squaddie. That's a LOT of hit points.
