📋 About This Mod
A collection of 190 portraits of female pilots who specialist in high temperature management. Not realistic but actually sort of lore friendly believe it or not.
My third pack is descending into the murky world of the Temperature Management Specialist pilot. These guys excel at running their mechs at the bleeding edge of its capabilities. That means extreme heat in the cockpit and so they are dressed to manage that. If I was building actual unique pilots these would all be 8-10/10 on the heat management skill rating. Whilst there is no actual exposed nipply bits or genitalia, some of them are skimpy enough that I've erred on the side of caution and tagged this as containing nudity. It doesn't but i think it sort of might based on Nexus's guidelines.
There are two versions, one with backgrounds and one without. The one without I personally think is better as its more consistent and matches the original game's style of portrait, although these are necessarily more zoomed out....
This mod (and all portrait mods) work much better with HUD DIY . It allows you to customise various aspects of the HUD, including the size and position of portraits when comms appear on screen. Results will vary depending on your screen resolution. You need the main DIY file plus the Portraitedit optional file from that page.
Compatible with other portrait mods, shouldn't overwrite or interfere with anything and I've tested it with a load of order of all the usual popular mods (70+ mods active) without issue. So far anyway.
There are some other great skimpy lady portrait packs out there but I wanted to a pack with a more grounded and real feeling set of images, with mostly girl next door style ladies. There are even a few who actually look old enough to have the experience to be an elite pilot with hundreds of combat missions under their suspender belts. If you really did have a situation where it was normal to wear next to nothing in combat then hopefully these do a good job of representing what that might look like on real, non surgically enhanced women who didn't have an hour to put on their makeup before battle. Although it's a mercenary company so some of them earn some extra c-bills on the side with a bit of glamour modelling for well respected publications like the Pirelli Calendar, or the 31st century equivalent of it.
Why 190? Well I had 200 but a last minute inspection found 10 of them were suffering shocking hand based injuries, possibly related to unsafe operation of overly hot joysticks in the heat of battle.
Whilst I'm not pretending that this isn't anything other than an excuse to have some nice things to look at whilst blowing stuff up with a giant robot, it is actually in the lore that mechwarriors sometimes wear quite skimpy clothing to deal with the extreme heat in the cockpit.
For example, these excerpts are from 'Decision at Thunder Rift' (Saga of the Grey Death Legion series):
Grayson wiped his hand ineffectually across his brow under the impulse helmet's rubber padding. He was drenched with sweat, and th
