"When you select a Scarlet Cobras member (or any other
external aid) as your support for your upcoming mission, the selected character should be
equipped using the budget provided by the mission credits. This means that the Support
Character WILL NOT be able to spend his own personal credits to buy his equipment
or pool up with your credits to get any extra equip for your team. This in turn generally
means that you must purchase weapons and armors for this character from scratch for he
would be nearly naked. However, I decided to introduce a Standard Equipment for
every character that is automatically purchased and equipped at the beginning of the
mission. Note that this equip belongs strictly to the character himself and probably he
won't give it away unless there is a very good reason; also note that, as in the standard
equip purchase, any listed weapon is fully loaded and all ammo listed is in addition to
the full load already mentioned"
