What I would love to see in the extension?
Alot of people see the browncoats as a religious faction, so make their guns look like crosses.
Also make some massive units, massive in a way they look like nothing can stop them, but they should fit in between standard corridors. mabye a priest like actor that heals?

I always interpreted the Browncoats as Russians, lol.

This is a cool idea. What are your plans for the actors?

What the hell have you been smoking Mozy.
Browncoats are not religious freaks, in fact I'd almost come to say that you would hate religious freaks for being so high on their horses. Browncoats always seemed like gritty soldiers that kill everything. To me at least.
And also they're Russian. The Browncoat light wears a Ushanka for Pete's sake.



@Crow
I'm not really sure as of now. I plan on making a medium soldier and probably a big super soldier at some point.
I haven't had much experience working with actors.


ALSO:
This project is postponed for a while until I finish some other stuff I'm working on.

i would love to help with this mod. i was about to make my own browncoat expansion when i saw this. so PM if you would like my help

Haha, I never saw this thread when it was started. Just to clarify a few things:

First of all, capnbubs never put the Browncoats into development. He made sprites for them, and that was it. Numgun felt they needed to be actors, so he added them as super-soldiers. They weren't intended to function as they currently do. Whether the Browncoat remain in the game is up to capnbubs. They might or they might not. I'm not going to stop you from making this mod, and I doubt he would either, but do keep in mind that there could be official content overtaking yours in the future.

Secondly, as far as I know, the Ronin are going to stay in the game. What makes you think they're going to be replaced? I mean, the female Ronins might get female bodies and sound effects, but otherwise, I don't think there's any intentions of completely removing them. Numgun coded them, so I suppose you could say he "made" them, but they really were designed to work more or less like they do right now - Promster made their head and weapon sprites, and made it clear that they were a ragtag faction using vintage weapons. The only creative liberty numgun really took on this one was to put them on slightly modified light soldier bodies, so I don't think he really went against what was intended. Did somebody say that they were going to be removed, or are you guys just assuming this is the case?

As for the dummies, I agree about the energy weapons. In B26, we moved them more toward impulse-based weapons, and I wouldn't be surprised if, once there is a Techion faction, they got the energy weapons instead. No guarantees on that, though.

I am suddenly reminded that I was going to do this.
I've been working on something I'm sure you'll enjoy.
I won't ruin the surprise though.

I'm happy, I'm so very happy that neither the Browncoats nor the Ronin are going to get removed. I would hate to see my all time favorite blonde clone removed from the game. He makes such bloody messes.
Also, Miggles, If you would like, I would enjoy spriting some weapons for this, just pm me for a lil' confirmation.
