📋 About This Mod

SynergiesMOD for Mechwarrior 5 is a full custom conversion mod in which I will address QOL and balance as well as adding new mechs, AI Hero mechs, and a will work towards a full suite of new missions, and reworked missions.

QOL upgrades for game play:

-Salvage Negotiations set to 5 value and scale back to 2 as you invest in them.

(Want a challenge?  Play a campaign where you don't buy anything from the shops, salvage only!)

-Potential Jobs per system increased from 3 to 5.

SLOT CHANGES.

All Small slots are changed to Medium Slots.

All Medium slots are changed to large slots.

All Small weapons can be housed in Medium Slots.

All Medium weapons can be housed in Medium or Large slots.

All Large Weapons can be housed in Large slots.

AMS can be housed in any Medium Slot.

Medium Ballistic Weapons can be housed in AMS slots.

All ECM and EW gear can be housed in any generic slot.

Weights for base ECM and EW lowered to 1, mechs that came equipped with them naturally have been updated.

Slot sizes changed for ECM and EW gear.

MASC and Superchargers have been reworked.

-All Masc and SC's can be installed in any general slot.

-All Masc and SC's have been reworked to be tiered gear like weapons in MW5, they no longer require tonnage to equip, level 1's give lower bonus's and scale up to level 5's.  Tonnage and Slot sizes increase per level.

Jump Jet Velocity Changes.

-Jump Jets will closely maintain the speed of the mech using them, give or take a bit due to varying speeds per tonnage.

QOL upgrade with Repairs and Building Mechs from cold storage.

(This might be removed in the future if we ever get an expanded dropship option and better cold storage functionality)

-Changed all weapon and equipment installation time to 0 days.

-Changed al exteriorl armor repair time to 0 days.

Changed all upgrade time to 0 days and lowered the cost of any upgrade that was higher than 500k to 500k.

Weapon changes.

-All Ballistic and PPC velocities altered.  AC / Gauss and PPC's increased in speed, Rifles reduced in speed.

-Rifles re balanced to be the slower firing, longer range equivalent of the AC's.

-Chemlasers have had extra range added as a balance point vs normal/ER/Pulse lasers.

-Ammo for Chemlasers and Rifles larger per ton, but approx half of SRM/LRM/AC quantities

Engine Heatsink alterations.

-All mechs that have double heatsinks now have double heat dissipation with their built in heatsinks.

(Vanilla mechs do not have this regardless if they are Double Heatsink or not)

New Mechs added to the Mod.

( * denotes custom hardpoints or weapons used in its creation.)

( -H denotes a Hero mech conversion for the AI (overpriced salvage and cost))
