Deploying captured Thargons? [RESOLVED]

Post by Poro »

I'm sure there is an OXP that allows scooped Thargon fighters to be deployed by the player. I can't remember what it's called though. Any help?

Thargoid's Captured Thargons OXP, I think! I don't think you can scoop up "wild" Tharglets and fire them off, but I could be wrong. It has happened before. ;)

No, you are correct, it (deliberately) doesn't work with "normal" scooped Thargons. But you can scoop up the reprogrammed ones and reuse them again.

Backstory being that the captured ones have had to be completely re-engineered and reprogrammed by specialists, so any old battle-damaged Thargon dragged in out of a firefight just won't do ;)
