Xenonauts 2: Soldiers & Vehicles

[MARSHalMELLOW]

Vehicles get 100 STR, Could there be a Backpack on the Vehicle, allowing a soldier to reload its weapon or collect a backup weapon stowed within. Could vehicles be used to evac a corpse, stabilising them at 1 HP when picked up by a soldier if they make it back to base. Even an attached Tactical Cache or Medical Cart in the Vehicle Modules Slot.

Can there be a secondary weapon on the Vehicle that fires H.E.V.Y. Smoke shots in the place of the laser designator or the Machine gun.

@MARSHalMELLOW: The secondary Slot with different Weapons was tested in several Beta-Versions therefore. It was to much. Therefore we integrated the Cannon again as an Modular-Refit for the Main-Weapon.

What the small Transport-Box belongs: There we will see what happens. Evtl. an very small Transport Box will come as an Upgrade for the MARS / ARES with some R & D.

C4 and Demolition Charge are very similar.

What about replacing the Demolition Charge that uses 2x2 storage for an M72 LAW using 1x4 when Stowed.

Adapt the C4 from taking up 2x3 slots to 1x2. interact like grenades with 15 TU placement within one tile, 10 TU trigger.
