Expanded Galaxy Mod (LE)

EGM for LE3

These features have been ported from Expanded Galaxy Mod (ME3).  The core EGM functionality, a few changes have been ported that generally improve quality of gameplay, plus optional modules that overhauls the Normandy, creating an evolving and lively base and improves the war asset system to create the sense of the ship being a small refuge in a vast and changing galactic conflict.

Important Note: EGM has been upgraded to work with Community Patch 1. 7. 5 and later. Earlier versions will not work with EGM version 1. 0. 3. If you are upgrading EGM you must update Community Patch as well.

- During a combat mission press "ctrl" + "L"  will allow you to change weapons and armor and save the new Loadout.  It won't trigger under fire.

- On non-combat hubs - "ctrl + L" will allow Shepard to change outfit.

- All keybinds can be edited from the Options/Key Bindings menu

- Optional - all cutscenes use the weapons that Shepard or the squad are carrying, defaulting only to the basic types if they don't have either a alternative pistol or smg (rather than a Predator Pistol), or another rifle or shotgun (instead of an Avenger), depending on how the cutscene is animated.

- At the start of the Mars mission you can change your loadout and armors. If you have EGM Armors for LE3 these will be available.

DLC & N7 Mission Timings
