incredibly op yet fun

nvm, it was the dreadnought doing that...

It shouldn't do, the ability is super simple internally: It just modifies mobility by one. I don't think it even shows up in the UI flags, it's basically just a hidden +1 growth.

There are two other things that may affect mobility, though: Carried rockets will subtract 1 mobility each, and the Dreadnought primary spec subtracts a fixed amount. (and I /think/ that was -2?)

Is it any of those? If not, what are your soldier's rank and specs?

bug - Long Haul subtract 2 mobility instead of adding it

Big update today! TL;DR: Changed squaddie skill and patched up the issue that forced us to use the old one, shuffled some stuff around, removed GTS unlocks, allowed Heavy again.

It's out! Unfortunately had to exclude Heavy as the ability situation (needing Shock and Awe to actually fire the launcher) would occasionally cause a given rank's perks to become inaccessible. :(

Heads up: Got a rarity pass for a bunch of my specs coming up at some point in the next week. The huge influx of new/changed specs over the past year or so has been great, but has also thrown a lot of older specs out of whack.

These changes are likely going to break some classes in ongoing campaigns, sorry! If you notice any characters that did lose their class, use my Console Helper's RandomizeClass command with one or more old specs, or (temporarily) remove the new exclusions in the matching spec's XComAmalgamation.ini file. (they'll be clearly marked as being new)

Aaaand another one to fix a serious issue where the Rocket Launcher didn't work on all setups. Hopefully.

Pushed another small update to do some cleanup.

Update is out! Pretty much a complete overhaul, as the original class changed a ton as well. All the old non-Rocketeer filler specs are gone, and in their place we now have a full roster of unique perks that covers all ranks.

Old saves should work as expected, though any classes using the Rocketeer spec will need a reroll if you want to use the new abilities. New classes will automatically have them.

I did add an exclusion for Stukov's Richard's Classes Assassin, as a stealthy sneaky spec seemed like a poor fit. This only affects one possible class combination, so the chances of encountering this are tiny.

If you do happen to see a character with no class assigned, you can use Additional Soldier Console Commands or my Amalgamation helper to reroll it. ("RandomizeClass true OLDPRIMARYSPEC Rocketeer any")

Looking into it now, I think I'll need to rethink the spec's progression a bit. There's a lot of new/changed stuff in the original mod, including some brand new abilities that look very promising. I might end up adding a separate Burner spec, also.

These changes shouldn't cause any issues with existing saves, though you may need to reroll some of your Rocketeers if the spec exclusions get updated. Will try to avoid that if possible.

For now, you can add these lines at the very bottom of the XComAmalgamation config:

+DisableClass="AlphaRocketeer"
+DisableClass="AlphaBurner"

That should do the trick until I update the mod proper. Stay tuned!

great! thanks!
XpanD  [author] 5 Nov, 2022 @ 11:36am 
Burner? Huh, was not aware the Rocketeer mod got updated with a second class. I'll push out an update to hide it from our end later, thanks for reporting.

I just got a random Burner class, while using this mod
XpanD  [author] 20 Jul, 2022 @ 6:05am 
It does, but you can disable that by removing this part from this mod's XComAmalgamation config: (at the bottom)

[AmalgamationClassesWOTC.X2DownloadableContentInfo_AmalgamationClassesWOTC]
+DisableClass="Rocketeer"

To get there, right click the mod in AML and open Show In Explorer > "config".

asking if this disables the rocketeer class or not
