Hello, I am trying to make my own custom loadouts for this game and I can't find any resources at all on how to do it. If anyone has any help to offer it would be greatly appreciated.

"+2 maneuving" does not increase the map area revealed but does allow a greater number of hexes in which you may land your city in. They are slightly different to Retrograde thrusters, so try them both out to see which you prefer :)

What is "+2 maneuvering when selecting a landing site" exactly? Like how the retrograde thrusters work? Or something else?

@Lanock maybe re-term negative health as disease :P can we have a mod just for that?

I appreciate the variety in starting options. Nice mod

I was reaaaally tierd when i read it but thanks for clearing it up :OhNoBlue:

yeah +10% negative health is a penalty, so -10% negative health is a bonus, but no matter what way you write it is sounds odd. maybe "negative health reduced by 10%" would be better?

@Dongo pongo, technically it's a -10% negative "unhealth" bonus.
Stålhelm 18 Jan, 2015 @ 11:00am 
Why would i want -10% negative health bonus :S

@Veklim, no-one "invented" it; English, like most languages, just kind of happened by accident. Also, it's so widely spoken in the US because a lot of British people went and founded the country, so any supposed birthright to the language is shared. Just saying.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not to mention all the words English has outright stolen from other tongues, particularly those of nearby peoples. Like, half the frickin' thing is just bits of Latin with different grammar, for example. And yeah, @DarkAlkaiser, pretty much every human language is a total mess, with hilarious consequences for spelling. :D Though I've heard that English is sillier than most, come to think of it. On an unrelated note, this mod is quite nice.

The word is spelt ridiculously in both dialects, it's great lol

@Veklim Probably because way more people speak the American version.

I wonder why people have wars about languages on things about games. Make any sense? No? That's what I thought...
Veklim 8 Jan, 2015 @ 8:23am 
@NuclearDystopia, to be entirely fair, it's just called English. We invented the language, don't see why we should always have to specify :P

It is spelt the other way? I seriously did not know that. The more you know.
Lanock  [author] 4 Jan, 2015 @ 3:53am 
@ Insan1ty: you are absolutely correct that in the US is it spelt 'maneuvering', but in the UK we spell it the other way, and I think that we borrowed the word from the French... such are the joys of international language :)
NuclearDystopia 3 Jan, 2015 @ 6:27pm 
@Insan1ty It's called British English.

If I used mods, this is definitely one I would install. I just wish the AI was better equiped to take advantage of these :/
Mental1ty 2 Jan, 2015 @ 2:47pm 
It's spelt maneuvering, not manoeuvring. Nice mod, btw

@ Ariatiki: retro thrusters give you +2 visibility and +1 range, the manoeuring jets don't give the extra visibility but give +2 range, so that you can land in any hex of your limited visibility

@ meadowhunter: yeah, I've tested it a couple of times and I was unsure if I should lower it to -8%. The reason I left it at -10% was to make it easy for players to do the mental maths when checking stats ;) If people find it unbalanced I'll happily change it - looks like I need to playtest it again...
meadowhunter 2 Jan, 2015 @ 9:06am 
-10% negative health is pretty huge
Ariatiki 2 Jan, 2015 @ 7:14am 
Looks good, and overall fairly balanced with the default ones.

That being said, the Manoevring Jets sounds awfully like the default "Retrograde Thrusters". What's the difference?
