Hello All!
I'm new to this game, I've playing with this game for some time and more when i found out the tons of mod and i got hooked to it! thanks to all member of community for making many mod for this game and for providing resource and documentation for modding. I've decided to make my own mod to contribute back to this community!
This mod added new fighters called Combat Suit a Mech-Like fighters from modified combat suit marine used to wear, since i wanted to had some infantry like unit fighting in wings and because i find it cool to have more common economic friendly mech fighter anyone from pirate-faction fleets use in their fleets!.
I've added a Ground Support Package for some of the fighter but don't know if it actually effecting Ground Operation or not :-\.
Currently There's 4 Combat Suits ready to use in the game. More to coming in future update.
I've balancing this as much as i see fit, but then again i hope you guys can give me feedback if there's any issue in balance, this is pretty much pre-release.

+ Peasant-Class Wing +
Low Tech
Originally use to do heavy duty and protect miners from hazardous mining envirotment. This Suits now serve as cheap fighters for poor unlucky pirates or a desperate rebel miners. Not a fun thing to pilot. Equipped with barely sufficient EVA unit modification and a single poorly armed LMG is regarded is good enough. This Suits is widely regarded as iron coffin by their pilot and those who unlucky enough to pilot it generally won't come back alives, heavy loss of crew is guarranted. This Suits is so poor that the only redeeming feature of it slighty stronger armor and hulls than talons and cheap to replace. People often compare this to talon but without missile, weaker armament, and slower movement speed.
