📋 About This Mod
v1. 1 Adds ability to change Jump Travel times and/or cBills cost, per Jump, based on Mod Options settings.
Base Game defaults are 7 days for subsequent jumps AFTER the first jump and 5 (x 10,000 cBills) for Jump cost. Settings range is 1-10 for both.
The first jump adds 6 days as set by the base game. So, if you set this mod's Jump Days to 3, the first jump will be 6 + 3 or 9 days. EACH jump after that will add 3 days. For example, if you make 4 jumps the TOTAL travel time will be 9 (6 + 3) days for the first jump + (3 travel days x 3 jumps) = 18 days.
Compatible with game version v1. 1. 354 (DLC 6)

For BattleTech players who find the default jump travel times or costs too grindy and want to speed up the campaign. Also for those who prefer to customize their experience without diving into JSON files. Skip if you're fine with vanilla travel or want a more comprehensive overhaul.
