Unlimited Tonnage - Player Only

Unlimited Tonnage for player's mech only.

REQUIRES : ModTek

AS of 1. 8, This mod works right off the bat, just copy it to your .\Documents\My Games\BattleTech\mods folder and activate it from the in-game mod manager.

Also confirmed to work with patch 1. 9. 1. My lance is currently fielding 16 x AC20s much to my enemies dismay.

Inspired by Chuck's AI-Proof Weight and Heat Mod which is sadly no longer update and most likely will never be.

Author's Note: I'd like to express my gratitude for the good folks who help answering quite a few questions in the post/discussion area regarding how and what to change to make this work with RogueTech and solve the mod manager issue with 1. 7. I really appreciated it. Thank you. You guys are awesome!

Second is I'd like to say it here that I myself am using this mod with version 1. 7 no problem. Hopefully this would clear things up if anyone wondering if this thing works with 1. 7 since this mod lastest update is before 1. 7 launch.

Thank you.

This mod adds new equipment that will allow you to add more stuff onto your battlemech. Small increment is also possible so you can avoid that annoying unused tonnage warning message.

How it works:

There are new heatsinks (well not really as it doesn't sink any heat) weight -1t -2t -4t -8t -16t and -32t. When you equip those badboys, you will gain more available tonnage on your mech. Unlike other tonnage cheat mod that gives flat bonus (chances are the bonus is either not enough or just too much, forcing you to give up some stuff and armor or leaving you with the unused tonnage message), you can fine-tune your bonus to your exact needs. No more message. No more guns left behind.

Need 27 more tons? - Equip 24t, 2t and 1t.

Need 3 more tons? - Equip 2t and 1t.

Comes with 2 versions:

Almost Balanced - Equipment cost 10,000 Cbill per ton, More tonnage bonus = larger item, No heatsink or any other capability.

Cheat Version - Equipment cost 100 Cbill per ton, More tonnage bonus = 1 slot item, Heatsink capability 2 heat per ton. (32t is nearly equal to around 10 vanilla heatsinks)

Compatibility

Probably works with any other  mod. No promises.

Works on existing savegame. Just travel a bit and let the store refresh their inventory.
