📋 About This Mod
This mod adds Star League weapons as potential items found in shops, double heatsinks can also appear, though these are also rare.
I mostly created this mod for myself but I figured there would probably be other people interested in having it.
Gauss Ammo is always available in a system with former Star League presence.
Lostech equipment value has also been increased to account for the fact you can actually buy it now, expect to pay through the nose for these highly rare pieces of equipment.
2 versions of this mod are currently available due to potential compatibility. The Original release contains possible conflict with any other mod that alters lostech weapons in any way but is proven to work just fine. For information regarding installing the original (v0. 1) version of this mod please see the end of this description.
If you find v0. 2 doesn't work for you, then feel free to just use v0. 1 and let me know what went wrong. A lot of Battletech modding is a little hit or miss right now. It works fine for me and doesn't invalidate any saves etc.
--- v0. 2. 1 Release Information ---
Now ready for Modtek/BTML integration.
(Thanks Slickster42 for doing the grunt work for me)
Lostech weapons have been adjusted to comply to the recent balance pass done by HBS, so all stats match those, however all prices have been increased by about 30-50% to account for the fact you can purchase them now.
Other than that, the only change here is in the mod package format, if you're using Modtek/BTML then you know the drill, simply unzip the contents into your mods directory and play away.
For those who haven't used Modtek/BTML before here's a link to the brief installation instructions:

From now on any updates will be packaged in this way because it allows me to do so much more from my list of plans and removes any worry about conflict and user error during installation, so it's probably worth the switch if you haven't done so already.
I'll also delete the mountains of outdated instructions for previous versions with the next update, so that'll be nice! :)
--- v0. 2 Release Information ---
v0. 2 - Now with more goodiness!
Tweaked all lostech weapons slightly to bring them more inline with expectation, they're no longer the ultra-expensive but largely pointless thing they were in the past. Note: No weapon has been made amazing, just different:
ER lasers have been damage buffed and had their size slightly reduced.
Pulse lasers are the most accurate weapon available and have been slightly damage buffed.
Gauss Rifle is largely untouched.
ER PPCs have been slightly damage buffed.
(IMO ER large l
This BattleTech mod adds a slim chance of finding lostech equipment for sale in shops located in systems with former Star League presence or active blackmarkets. It's for players who want rare gear without guaranteed availability, adding a layer of exploration and luck to the shopping experience.
