Reaper's Mech Changes

Installation: Unzip the file into your "MW5Mercs\MW5Mercs\Content\Paks" directory

Version 1. 1 supports the current game version. Just drag and drop the folder in the ZIP into your game mod folder and set it to active in the mod manager.

Changes (base version):

Changed the base maintenance costs off all mech weight brackets, previously, all mechs within a weight class had the same costs, now, every individual 5-ton bracket has a unique cost.

20 tonners will cost 9000 c-bills per maintenance cycle instead of 20000

100 tonners will cost 93000 c-bills per maintenance cycle instead of 70000

Mechs with internal DHS will now have double the base cooling (without external heat sinks), as they do in lore

Changes (adjusted version):

All the above

Lostech construction will now affect the maintenance costs:

Endo-Steel structure will increase costs by 10%

Internal DHS will increase costs by 5% per engine heat sink, up to a maximum of a 50% increase

XL engines will increase costs by 75%

All three together will increase costs by 2. 35x, making them quite pricey to maintain

Uploaded Weapons Galore compatible versions for both versions:

Changes the mech heat caps to 60 so that it behaves properly with Weapons Galore

Make sure that it places after Weapons Galore in the load order (-Z###- needs to be a higher number than WG's)

Plans for future updates:

Adjust repair costs for Ferro-Fibrous armor and Endo-Steel structure (not sure which asset changes them, MechStats and/or the equipment assets)

Additional modifiers for Clan tech and Omnitech
