Really hope SOMEBODY makes a WOTC version of this mod. This is a cool class. Really want to use it in my WOTC/LWOTC games but I don't know how to code, sadly.

Sad to hear that, but wish you all the best! Take care!

Update: Im Currently Busy with life and the like and I'm sorry I didn't get around to the new Update. So I wanted to make a statement.
From this point forward, I give the Entire XCOM community the permission to Edit and update Any and all of my mods as they so choose. No-one is expected to credit me for it if they don't want to. Thanks for the Memories Guys, Its been good but I don't know IF or WHEN ill be back, so this is kinda my last Oh-rah! See ya'll Later!

Sounds like we will see a WOTC version sooner than expected ;)

Vex, good to see your back.

Or rather what NEW skills to use

So it looks like not many of the skills have changed to much, its mainly the skill tree structure thats changed, with the addition of the extra skills to choose from. This may be a bit easier than expected, Mainly just figuring out what skills to use.

Sounds like you have a plan already, so..... GO! :D

Ya For a while the main thing holding me back from updating was actualy waiting for a bit more documentation and community updating. (Ya Im with you on that one, I like Lw2 Scorp a lot more than the Base game scorp, it felt like it fit the Role a lot better and It was overall Closer to how I Wanted the Scorpion to Be)

I am really curious to see, what you will come up with. :) Took a break from XCOM 2, so a new class is always a good reason to come back :D (And I vote for the LW2 Perk version for WOTC first ;) )

ya i guess. Also, i was lookin on the workshop and I found that someone ported the LW2 Perks and classes and stuff sooooooo if i port the lw version of the scorpion that might make it easier :) Tho ima probably make one with and without the lw2Wotc Mods. Im also doing a playthrough with relative vanilla first.

Well, can't be THAT trashy, if they still looking for updates and a WOTC version ;)

TBH im kinda flattered and confued That people Enjoyed and still do enjoy my Trashy class mod XD

I am sure, you will make up your mind and come up with something good ;)

Im also thinking of staying with the sword/axe because i dont want it to be to close to the skirmy boi, but then again some of the abilities are kinda nice, and the gauntlet looks fly as ♥♥♥♥ but idk
yet

I think Bullpup sounds nice ;)

What do you guys think of the idea of Giving the WOTC Scorpion the Bullpup Rifle that the Skirmishers have?

Thank you, you aswell, and i will return, MARK MY WOOOOOORDDDSSSSS!!!

Good to hear, that you MIGHT come back :) Take good care

sorry for leaving everything in the dark at the moment.

im not sure yet, ive been kinda burnt on xcom at the moment but i have been working on learning programing a bit so id be able to add custom abilities and the like. For the time being I cant get back to modding xcom just yet, schooling and such, but i will soon.

So..... there might be a WOTC Scorpion? oO

Dude nice! sorry ive been gone so long but ive been hella busy lately so if you post that on the WS ill link to it in my discription! Looks good dude!

I updated your class with Favid's perk pack. http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1318727587

Well, it will take as much time as it needs, I guess. ^^ Just happy, that there MIGHT BE a WOTC Scorpion! :D Will definitely keep my eyes open ;)

Ya im hoping to actualy start working on it soon but my job has been getting in the way of progress so i dont know how long itll be before i can make and test a new version.
so, im sorry for all the delays. (Im honestly starting to sound like CIG and RSI with all the delays star citizen 3.0 XD)

Happy to hear, that there might be a WOTC version :D

So, i played a bit of wotc and now im like "Its nearly a total conversion. Im not mad im actualy excited but now ima have to relearn all the stuff i know. great, thisll be fun tryin to update my classes." so im gonna need to do a playthrough of my own and then prod around the ini files just to get to a point where i can update the class to a working condition. so word of warning, itll be a bit before i can update this class, sorry.

Sounds good. Great versatility the Scorpion has, you think the Scorpion is OP huh? seems like versatility might be good with War of the Chosen Your changes no doubt will be complimentary.

once the new dlc releases im planning on giving it an update and balance passover to hopefully balance it out, make it more refined and less OP, that and it lacks a lot of focus and dont even get me started about the middle tree. XD
Hopefully the modding community will be quick to document the various dlc ID's when it comes out so i can get to work on the updated class within a reasonable amount of time.

Vexcord, excellent skill tree add-on with squad sight. Just getting around to mentioning that great combo with CC. Just a heads up.

Ya lw2's config system is extremely touchy and dislikes it when you mess up even a single character of the "Template" that they use. Your best bet would be to look in the lw2 class data and see how the other Lw2 classes are structured and making changes to my class in the same manner. I dont know what it is but LW studios has some odd .ini setups as compaired to other users like Grimmy or Musashi, making it hard for me to get used to making class mods and any major edits to the .ini files without extensive troubleshooting and reverse engineering. But that might just be me.

Aha! Erasing config seems to have done the trick! I dabbled again, now it looks like it is working. I can choose reaper instead of covering fire just fine and my scorp now carries a coil-shotgun. yeah!

What still does not work though is changing squadsight to something else, even when I remove the sniper rifle. then it does not display any basic abilities at all....

I dabbled with this, wouldn't work so far....always just copy+pasted from the class file from the lw2 configs folder. Did not show any perks on the ranks I edited. Are the perks tiered in some way, like, I cannot insert Reaper into the list before rank Tech Sergeant? I know it sorts them in some tier-structure for the AWC...

Ya exchanging perks is fairly easy provided you know what the ID for the perk is, and it shouldnt bug unless you mess with the way its writen. for some reason long war requires a spesific format or the perks wont show up, not sure why that is though

Can I exchange perks in the config file just like that, or will this bug the mod? This reminds me a lot of the vanilla ranger, which I liked, but I miss the Reaper....^^

It shouldnt have a problem but im not to sure, i havent tested it with the axe mod yet. Ill have to look into it. thanks for letting me know.

does this class has some sort of uncompatability with axes? tried it with the axemod and it misses always, except for the criticals... other than that, its always a miss... what am i missing?

thanks mal give it a try and leme know what you think

This seems like a really interesting class. o7

Long war perk pack is enough they both have the same stuff so you can use either the perk pack or lw2 :D

Quick question that may have been asked a million times so pardon me but do I need Long War 2 or is Long War Perk Pack enough? The old version of this mod just needed the Perk Pack so that's why I'm asking.

Well, you basically want to change the tree and go the sniper option...ok easy enough. Change to Scorpion/hunter/slayer role. I can message that to you, everthing is working now.

Sounds good!

Addendum: eliminating the range penalties I assume would also eliminate the range bonuses (you know, for up-close stuff), so that's part of the trade-off: helps snipers since no more close-range penality, rifles and SMGs get more range, but the Scorpion would have to rely mostly on their blade or natural Aim for the close encounters.

Here's a thought for a perk: Snap Shot. However, if you're up for coding a custom ability, might I suggest Snap Shot with a twist? Give it the usual ability of move-and-fire for sniper rifles, but also make it negate range penalties. Sniper rifles won't have a range penalty out to LoS anyway, so other guns will still get a boost.
Then, once the range reaches the Snap Shot limit, the Snap Shot penalties take effect.

Ikrani it looks just fine i like it cus i can actualy see it XD
Dmc i understand you like it as is, but im wanting to change it myself to fit more than just the "Shenobi ranger" and actualy implement the as of yet useless Sniper option, i kinda wanted one side to be a Des-Marksman and the other to be a fast Striker that can hold the line. im just not quiet happy with the Ghostwalker side or the Middle tree so im going to look into good alternitive abilities for them both. if you have any ideas for perk replacements let me know.

Vexcord, looking good. The Scorpion Operator runs Scout and Shiboni roles very well, especially the sword combined with CQC and conceal. It's a Scorpion after all u know, urban combat, infighting and LW2. Re-Balancing will will no doubt make the Scorpion much better has a few tradecraft skills already.

It's flexible without being OP based on the current loadout. Very good in stealth, scout mode also comfortable in Light Infantry ready for anything, Hit n Run style, much different than assault though, which is Run n Gun Scorpions aren't really heavy assault. They work exceptionally well with a high powered SMG.

My usual contact method is down for some odd reason, working on that, so decided to hit you on the community board.

As the designer of the icon, now seeing it alongside other XCOM icons, I'm thinking I might've made the scorpion too big. Oh well. Either that or sacrifice detail.
