📋 About This Mod

PILOT QUIRKS

This is intended an as optional mod to dZ Consolidated Company Commander, but is released here as a standalone Mod Pack. This Mod Pack adds quirks to all of the pilots in the game. The tags are now fully utilized to impact gameplay! Due to this, pilots now play a much more significant role in the day-to-day operations of the Argo and will show different strengths and weaknesses in combat. See the full list of Quirks here:
