Hope you make this spec for vanilla WotC soon. Even with all the class I have that use Assault Rifle as primary(about 45 classes from 170 something),I found that I rarely use Boltcaster or ever bother make one in engineer anymore.

So wish, when you make it for vanilla WotC,it will breaths new life into Boltcaster.

@jat11241976 Thanks man! It's a brand new spec which materialized from using the [WoTC]Crossbow- None-Alien Hunter boltcasters mod. And I've always wanted to do some kind of archer class/spec so since I'm playing with Amalgamation atm, I decided to make it a spec. I may decide later to make it a non-Amalgamation class with a secondary melee weapon or something. Right now, I've got more Amal specs that I'm working on which is keeping me quite busy. ;) Glad to hear that you're enjoying the spec.

Hey Drumax, is this spec based on one of your existing classes or is it spec-only? It's awesome either way :steamthumbsup:

@EvilBob22 Cool, I'll switch the icon out and add the localization to my list of fixes. Thanks man!

Ok, there is a new, non-psi version of the icon in Color Class Icons: Amalgamation now:
SpecIcon="img:///UIClassIcons_EBColor_Misc.class_boltcaster_color", \\

Also, while double-checking it in game, I saw that the localization is broken, it was saved as .ini instead of .int. I manually changed it in my copy and it worked fine.

@EvilBob22 I'm working on adding more IncompatibleSpecs at the moment. Harehnoth gave me a list of them with descriptions which will help out a lot. I was waiting for you to maybe come up with another icon design or same design different color before I updated this mod. I'm cool either way. This spec does not use PSI ability but there weren't many options that fit and wasn't being used.

I am liking the concept of the spec too, I've noticed I rarely use the boltcaster in amalgamation runs, so this is welsome. Lock 'N Load is a powerful ability, especially at squaddie rank, but with only having a boltcaster available, I get why it's there -- sounds fun. It does seem to be light on the IncompatableSpecs, Harehnoth is good in that regard (Stukov too, but he's focusing more on streaming these days).

It's no problem, you're absolutely free to use it for this spec. And yeah, at the moment it isn't being used for anything else (that other class may end up never releasing). I only mentioned it because this isn't a psi spec (right? I didn't look at all the abilities), so the glowy purple stuff seemed weird to me. The icon was designed to be for a boltcaster class; my thought was just to create a new version with the same design, just no purple glowy bits. We can optionally change the color of the "action" part, but I'm not getting any strong vibes for any particular color.

@EvilBob22 I picked it because I didn't think anyone else was using it and it looks like an arrow head. I couldn't find anything else related to a bow or archery. I would definitely switch it out to something else if it looked way cooler and matched the spec. ;)

Hey nice icon! :) I originally made that a few months ago for someone working on a proficiency class with boltcaster and psiamp, but they have stepped back a little from modding since then. Would it make more sense for this spec to have it with the typical blue diamond instead of the psi-purple one?

Hello! Good job on launching your first Spec!
I took a look and it seems to be lacking in exclusions. I've a file that has all the current exclusions documented, you can hit me up on discord(same nick), so we can discuss further.
