Description:

This mod aims to bring the squad functionality from LW2/LWOTC to vanilla WOTC. As of this moment, this is currently in BETA and things might get changed (enhanced?) in the future. For now, this is just a QoL improvement, allowing you to create and outfit squads and send them into missions. There are no tactical benefits associated with keeping soldiers assigned to the same squad (unlike LW2/LWOTC), but in any case, feel free to use it for all your role-playing needs.

WOTC expansion obviously
X2WOTCCommunityHighlander (any version)

• While it may be installed in an ongoing campaign, I would highly recommend starting a new run. Otherwise, you may experience oddities such as not being able to assign soldiers currently on covert actions to any squads until they are back at the Avenger.
• Based on my preliminary testing and helpful reporting by several others, it seems to be working well with Covert Infiltration. One issue currently being reported is that when deploying covert actions, the soldier/crew slots may be filled incorrectly. I am looking into a potential fix, but in the meantime, if you select another squad from the drop-down menu or manually empty the slots first, it should work properly afterwards.

• Pavonis Interactive for creating LW2 in the first place and extending the longevity of this wonderful game
• Peter (LWOTC dev) who has been very patient and helpful with all my noob questions
• The usual suspects over at the modder’s discord (Iridar, robojumper, Xymanek, RustyDios and countless others) for indulging, inspiring and assisting me through this and countless other small mods that will probably never see the light of day
