Variants Mod - includes files for all the 3025-29 era appropriate 'Mechs, which currently have model in game. (please comment in forums on any I missed)

Then follow the accompanying PDF instructions based on what you want to use

ModTek Method: Extract all folders into your ModTek Mods folder (should have already created this if you are using ModTek)..

NOTE : This version includes a home for the 3025 era mech/chassis defs that pair up with the FANTASTIC Community Asset Bundle mod - big thank you to all the Modelers out there that gave their blessings to include their files.  Some files have been slightly adjusted to make them Vanilla legal by Haree78 or myself.  Many of these files can also be found in the 3025 Extended mod.  The intention of housing them here, is for easy access for other mods.

Feel free to read up on the lore for many of these variants in the Fan Made 3028 TRO.  Sarna Page below - link to the actual PDF is at the bottom of the Sarna page: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Technical_Readout_3028

Weapons:
  • Binary Laser Cannon (an experiment in fusing 2 LL cores together.  Generates as much heat as 2 LL, but only does 75% of that total damage.  I added in a +10% to crit bonus as well, to represent the tandem fire.  There is a STOCK and + version in the mod - found on the Zeus ZEU-6Y)
  • Tronel Large Laser (an inferior LL that generates extra heat - found on the Panther PNT-8Z)
  • Agra Medium Laser (27C model that had issues meshing with Targeting Systesm - found on Jenner  JR7-A)
  • Blackwell Machine Gun (fires 6 rounds per burst instead of 5, potential for +3 damage - while chewing through ammo quicker)
  • (3) New MGs from Dr. Bansai

Ammo:
  • Half Ton MG ammo (used on both MG Vehicle Variants and 3 of the 'Mechs in the WeaponAmmo Mod)

Upgrades:
  • Command Console (used on the GT_CommandConsole 'Mechs - grants multiple bonuses to its pilot)

The following original game files have been adjusted to reflect the correct stats or fix typos:
  • Changed APC_Vagr - Stats to be a Heavy Vehicle, and internals imply it is 65 tons.  So tonnage has been adjusted.

  • Black Knight BL-6b-KNT (Note : this is a corrected version of the BL-6b-KNT with Beagle Probe and Endo Steel in DLC Folder)
  • Black Knight BL-6b-KNT (Note : this is a corrected version of the BL-6b-KNT with Beagle Probe and Endo Steel in DLC Folder)
