📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a couple of mech variants that i thought were missing from the main game.
The mech variants are:
Battlemaster BLR-1S (a missile support battlemaster)
Shadowhawk SHD-2K (instead of the autocannon mounts energy weapons)
Awesome AWS-8V (is a mix between the 8Q and 8T)
Banshee BNC-3S (the slower, more weapon banshee)
The banshee doesn't quite fit in to the timetable, because it was made a year later (in 3026) but who cares. Now the banshee is op and can even rival the ATLAS !!!
Hope you guys enjoy this. And if someone made this already, i am sorry i didn't know.
