Mercs get individual backgrounds, with the same number as their profile number, which is not selectable by IMPs. This allows better ordering and finetuning descriptions.

These KITS are Limited to Merc Lvl and prices, it would be tempting to give them "the perfect loadout" but it would take away from the fun and balance of the game.
*List of Kits
Ammo: Extra ammo at the expense of an other item.
Gun Choice: an alternative weapon.
Combat: Mercs drop their Med/Tool Kits in favour of extra firepower.
Fast Rope: Only seen in upper tier Mercs. The idea was to create a basic kit for when you know you are landing in an enemy occupied sector. (Could be change to "Hot LZ")
CQC: Close Combat
HTH: Hand to Hand
LBE: If you feel like splashing the cash for some extra carry capacity.
Paramedic: A kit for Doctors on the front line, dropping their MEdkit for a FirstAid Kit and a Smoke Grenades.
Auto/Heavy WPNs: Skill specific kits.
Sapper: Desroying/Constructing stuff.
Breach: Using explosives or ballistics to open doors.
Covert: Silent weapons/ammo.
Night OPs: Flares etc...
There are more KITS but they should be self explanatory. It's a lot of info to edit, so if there are any mistakes/oversights let me know and i'll change them. Same goes for any suggestions.
I tweaked these Mercs in order for OST/NST to match and to improve one or two.
Dyno & Smoke: Electronics added to OST to match Demo.
Mouse: Stealthy/Stealthy added to OST Melee removed from NST
Moses: Given Devolve evolution.
Hector:Knifing expert in OST.
Needle: Knifing OST.
Screw: HTH (OST) HTH/Tech (NST)
Elroy: Strealth/Lockpicking.
Carp: Removed Deputy and gave him Teacjng in OST/NST. He's pretty useless at the moment, at least this way he can be a Militia Trainer.
Doc: He had Teaching/Deputy in NST. Changed it to Doctor in NST and no skill in OST.

o From now on, as long as Speck is hired (or dead, or POW, or travelling), he won't be sitting on Speck Com nor sending you emails. However, is he's able to, he'll comment on current situation from battlefield: player owing money, Flo getting married, MERC merc dying, etc., so keeping him alive might be a good idea. Also added quotes for MERC website:
- on recruiting Speck
- on trying to recruit unavailable Speck
- on trying to recruit unavailable Biff (present in game files and code, but previously unused)

Notes:
o Carp has skill evolution set to 1/4 - as he "has slowed with age" according to his bio,
o hedge trimmer doubles up as wire cutter, so no puny fence will save you from getting chopped up,

#All Mercs now have their original 1.12 traits.
#STOMP traits revised to match original traits as closely as possible. Some Mercs have extra traits to make use of STOMP.
In some cases i used Demo instead of Throwing as this is how Grenades are linked now.
Raven and Lynx are the only AIM Mercs with Scouting as it is a very powerful trait. There are also 1 Merc & 1 RPC with this trait.
Because some traits have been made minor, a few Mercs like Igor have been given another trait. All STOMP traits have been used.
Electronics is a funny trait to translate into STOMP:
Old Trait: Improves chances (+15) of modifying/assembling electronics, picking electronic locks and disarming electronic traps, and attaching remote detonators.
So for some it means DEMO while for others it means Tech.
#All WF Mercs have been given their proper starting gear, minus the grenades and kevlar leggings etc...
#Every Merc has their 1.12 gear now, select *Kit 2 if you would like to experience how JA was originally released.
*Static,MD, & Spider kept their 1.12 gear, so for them it is Kit 1.
Kit 1 is their 1.13 gear. K2&3 are normally a choice of weapons/equipment etc... K5 is aimed at the Mid-Late game, but that's not to say you can't sacrifice manpower for equipment.
#All the 1.13 added weapons & equipment have had 100% condition replaced with how they would have shipped in 1.12 along with other minor fixes.
E.G. Malice MAT-49 100%->87%
#All Mercs now have 5 Kit to choose from.
#Corrected the Wildfire Mercs Bios.
