Is this a good mod? I am interested since I snag pilots like those two :)

Thanks for the mod and the update!

Ikr? Had to make a new campaign playthrough to make sure all the reward pilots I had were tagged as heros

Man, that sucks that already owned pilots don't retroactively get traits. :(

ohhh that actually makes a lot of gameplay design sense. Too bad the save editor has not been updated in forever. I don't really want to go all the way back to 3015 just to get a pre-traited Freeman...

From what I see in Editor, Leon Freeman did receive traits in game update.

Because pilots can gain or lose traits during play - mostly through academies - then the traits for each pilot are stored in the savegame. And because of that, changing the starting traits for a pilot will have no effect on games where that pilot has been recruited before update/mod.

This doesn't work for Leon Freeman?

They really did the bare minimum on unique pilots. Fenstrom has a one line bio.
