Just spit balling here because I'm not sure what you can edit exactly but here's a few suggestions:
1. A "weeb's dream" sort of start, ninja gear, friendly with ninja clans, super high stats, etc.
2. "Kung Fu master" start, maxed unarmed stats, neutral with all clans, but no gear or money
3. "Chain gang" 3-5 party members, weak weapons, unfriendly with "civilized" factions, friendly or neutral with everybody else.
4. "hunter" start, high sneak and athletics, not sure if you can, but maybe start with a backpack filled with food.
5. "prodigy" start, super high non-combat stats, slightly unfriendly with every faction because "stuck-up" though

Good luck with your mod!

I'll do all but #3.

what about a diplomat start? generally friendly with everyone (except bandits and other lowlife) with 5 people, the diplomat, and 4 guards. maybe like 50,000 credits from wherever the diplomat came from? what tools are you using?

So I just use the forgotten construction set. Sorry I didn't get back to you. Mind if I steal your idea for the next update?

50 person start as 100 seems to be a bit much but no one has one for 20 or 25 or 50 (ironically this is the first one with more then 10 i found personally, so having options between 10 and 100 would be awesome)

@ton10p just dismiss people and it will lower to that number. Also use a 256 squad size mod.
