What do you think?
Yes. Only thing that comes to mind is that one "fix" may be replaced with another "break" when the patrol is re-loaded. Would this be a problem for people?
Yes I'm finding that now, I really don't know the answer except to drastically increase the odds. Drastically increasing the odds then gives the feeling that you never see anything happening-too subtle/why did I install the mod in the first place. I wonder if this is something that should:
A. Be left as repairable mid patrol for the not so hard core users.
B. Let the hard core guys modify it to their individual liking-most will be able to make adjustments to satisfy their individual tastes plus with good instructions included the needed changes really aren't that difficult.
