I was thinking of a possible companion that could be added would be one that already has a firearm and is proficient at it (of course >.< ).  However, since this companion has a boomstick, I was thinking that this said companion should not be cheap to get, but not ridiculously expensive (I recall one mod where the made companion was worth 20k to buy).  In my opinion, the price range should be anywhere from 1k to 2k, or higher depending on how good you make him...or her.

Well I have a full plan layout for another companion that has been laying around for a while. I will implement him and while I am at it I will add in a companion using a firearm. Just so you know I am planning on adding in a few more firearms, but not too many, since it is not the focus of the mod. I will make him cost a bit more than the price of whatever firearm he uses. Thanks for the help

Not a suggestion for the mod itself, but using RAR or 7z as your compression format would be better than zip, giving people a smaller file to download. 7z is especially good.

Good point, your not the first to say that but you are certainly the one that has finally convinced me to.
The mod is up to ~680MB currently so if I try 7zip then I can probably maintain the compressed size it is now at 245MB (600MB uncompressed).
Thanks

Just compressing the current version of New Elgante into 7z now to see what the file size is like. If it's good I'll host it here as a mirror.

EDIT: 125 MB compared to 245 MB. I think it's worth it. ;)

EDIT 2: File here: http://exilian.co.uk/files/New Elgante.7z

Well thats certainly good, I have added it to the download link as a mirror for now, but next patch I will compress it fully with 7z.
The next patch is unfortunately getting bigger, it is at 712MB currently. If I compress it with 7z then I can get it to 186MB.
But the mod is likely to get even bigger, so by the next patch it may end up the same size again :P

But no worse, which is my point. ;)

You can play in the main land as well. But than that would destroy the whole purpose of this mod.
