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.

Expert Snipers won't get a 10x scope anymore. They get a 2x scope instead. A 10x scope is useless at the start and when we buy or find a sniper rifle it usually has a 10x scope anyway.

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)
- Speck advertising himself
Fixed Biggin's wrong ammo (by anv)
