📋 About This Mod

Another Mod I created while learning the systems because I often use these types of Mods.

It also gives you one extra unique Pilot at the start of the game along with a BJ-1 BlackJack, that being Rook given as a reward for Last Man Standing.

Sets all 'unique' Pilots Max Stats to 60, the same as the Player Character.

This includes Campaign and Career Starting Pilots, as well as Mission Reward Pilots. The Randomly Generated Pilots found in Hiring Halls are not touched, nor their starting levels.

The main goal is to provide a reason to seek these characters out and keep them alive.

I will likely not be making any changes to this mod as I made it primarily for personal use.

Built against latest game version including all DLC Career Pilots, should be compatible with anything that doesn't alter Pilot files or Campaign Mission 4.

I am currently using it alongside YAML and everything works fine thus far.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This gameplay mod for Battletech raises the max skill points of all unique pilots—including campaign, career, and mission reward pilots—to 60, matching the player character. Randomly generated pilots in hiring halls remain unchanged. It also restores a cut Rook pilot, offering more customization for unique characters.

✨ Key Features

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 174 endorsements and 2,598 downloads.
  • Gives unique pilots the same potential as your player character, making them more viable for long campaigns.
  • Restores a cut pilot, adding content for lore enthusiasts.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2022 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
  • Only affects unique pilots; random hires remain weaker, so you'll still rely on RNG for top-tier recruits.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Battletech players who want their iconic story pilots to be as powerful as their custom commander. Also for those who miss the cut Rook pilot and want to see her in action. Skip if you prefer the challenge of managing weaker unique pilots or if you're on the latest game version and worried about compatibility.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod only changes pilot stats, it should be safe to add mid-campaign, but make sure to back up your save just in case.
  • If you're using other pilot overhaul mods, load this one after them to ensure its changes take priority.
  • Check the mod's page for any updates or patches if you're on a newer version of Battletech.
