Howdy players and bystanders!

So, good news everyone: the Underworld rules have been finalized and will be going up! But what's that mean for you?

Simple: you can now opt to hire Smugglers, Bounty Hunters or Scouts!

Smugglers are handy for either getting goods on or off a planet that isn't yours, though obviously it would have to be something present there to get it moved. You can also use them to transport your Intel and SpecOps teams onto hostile worlds, and it augments their odds for success.

Bounty Hunters can target enemy leaders, plain and simple. But you can only hire one or two a month, and we have taken precautions to ensure that PC leaders can't just start getting offed every month and make things difficult, but they are quite useful if you need to take a leader out of the picture for a turn or are softening up an NPC faction world.

Scouts are the most expensive, but useful in their own right: they can map new hyperlanes between two systems. Bear in mind that this has to be a straight path and cannot cross with any other systems. It's very expensive to hire a Scout, but if you need an alternate route to your enemy, they can make that happen.

The rules will be posted sometime today or tomorrow!
