About this mod

Changes the commander's background choices (away from the 'noble birth') and adds quirks according to your choices in character creation. Adds additional features like starting reputation depending on ancestry and some bonuses for background choices, for example ComStar starting with one piece of Lostech equipment.

!!! Attention: This mod will not work if another mod changes the milestone: milestone_114_sim_leopard_start.json !!!




I too, haven't been able to test all events, due to time restrictions.
This milestone issues did cost me a full week of spare time. ;-)

Please report any issues. Thanks!


- Added additional starting bonuses depending on acestry and career.

What does this mod do?
It changes the commander's background choices and adds quirks according to your choices in character creation.

What impact to gameplay does it have?
On it's own? None. It's just cosmetical and helps with creating the
character you want, not the forced 'noble birth' type of guy. BUT: If
you add (a working version of) 'Pilot Quirks', 'PanicSystem', and 'Pilot
Fatigue', the quirks will have the same effect on your Commander as
they have on your pilots.

What changes does this mod make to character creation?
I rewrote all the backgrounds, to make them more interesting (in my
opinion, that is). For example, the 'Aurigan Coalition Soldier' has been
changed to 'Great House Soldier', talking about the military of 'your'
noble house. I although added 'ComGuard' as a career option. In addition
it adds quirks to the choices you make. For example, a commander who's
familiy died in an accident and who then became a pirate, will have the
quirks 'lucky', 'cautious', 'assassin', 'criminal' and 'dishonest'. As
you notice, not all them are good for you. :)


I strongly advice to use the aforementioned mods so the quirks do have an impact on your game.

Only works with a new career or campaign (as you might have already figured out by yourself :) )
