FCOM 3.11 - FSD Commander

Integrates the FSD Faction for FCOM 3.11*. The choice is yours, Deputy.


What it does:

Enlist the help of the Fens Sheriff's Department in your adventures (or settlements), replacing the Gunners.

The Gunner faction unit tree has been reworked to introduce FSD units. That being said, access to the FSD is not easy; the more you progress in the FSD storyline, the more types of units you can enlist.

Gunner faction has been renamed The Commonwealth - as you'll be able to recruit other non-FSD units as well.

Unit Tree:

Non-FSD units:

1. Hired Gun - Starting Unit, no requirements. Your all-around, neighborhood, non-Gunner mercenary.
2. Atom Cat - Unlocked by either finishing their respective vanilla quest or rescuing them during Cat by the Tail.

FSD Units: For the most part, you need to earn their trust and maintain GreenZone™ relations to be able to request their help.
1. FSD Scavver - Unlocked by freeing you-know-who, these guys are the first ones you can unlock.
2. FSD Scout - Complete the Shoe is on the Other Hand.
3. FSD Regular (Deputy) - Complete the Shoe is on the Other Hand.
4. FSD Sniper - Complete the Shoe is on the Other Hand.
5. FSD Mechanized Regular (T-60) - Complete Domus Nostra 2.
6. ????? - Earn and accept the Badge.

Other notes:
Their weapon loadout is based on vanilla and still will progress to better gear as you level. (Ballistic->Laser->Plasma) 
Any mods touching those vanilla weapon levelled lists will affect their loadout.

For balance purposes, even if you have access to the units, FSD-based armor and power armor pieces are only obtainable through the main mod. 
That means you can not turn them into piñatas to get their armor. Don't order them to exit their power armor, you can not use the frame nor cobble it for parts. Support the local economy, support Right Field.

For story reasons, in case of conflicts of interest made by the player, the Department has a Fens-First policy to uphold law and order. They are somewhat faction-sensitive (usually help non-FCOM FSD peeps) and they will likely aggro when you do crime. You have been warned.
