- Permissions and credits
Long live the Star League!
Contained in this mod are 70 mech variants of Battletech 2750 Vintage including SLDF "Royal" Division Mechs, as well as additional Star League/LosTech variants from the SLDF Regular Regiments, as well as a few from the "Great Houses" (aka Successor States). Additionally, I've included 27 Additional Unique/Hero variants, and optional Land-Air 'Mech variants. I have also completely redone the 4 Royals from HBS to be closer to tabletop "canon" chassis weights and loadouts and converted them to use the double heatsink system.
The mod also incorporates all the necessary Star League "LosTech" weapons and equipment, which is included in this mod (or already present in the HBS game), as well as a suitable system of workarounds to represent things like full engine double heat sinks and a few variants with XL engines. This mod makes heavy use of CustomAmmoCategories by KMiSSioN, which is optional, but highly recommended.
Additionally, I’ve completely revamped the Mech and Mechparts itemCollections to create a system based on 3028 Xotl Rarity tables (similar to those used by JKRarity) appropriate for factions and the periphery for all Mechs that have vanilla or community asset models, and of course added a small chance of LosTech showing up.
This mod is was created with ModTek v0.7.2 which is *Required*. It is based on a "Vanilla" Mechlab - MechEngineer and Roguetech are not supported and will not work with the variants as provided in the mod.
As much as possible is split up into separate folders to accommodate those who aren't using the recommended addons.
Required mods:
ModTek v0.7.2
For CAB Variants
Community Assetbundle
For Lostech Weapon Functions:
CustomAmmoCategories by KMiSSioN
For Shops/ItemCollections:
All SLDF Royal folders enabled plus:
JK Variants
For Encounters Functionality:
JK Rarity Tables by JustinKase
Recommended Additional Mods:
Skirmish Inventory Unlock - if you want to take all of the LosTech mechs for a spin quickly and easily in skirmish mode
MechResizer v1.0.0 by janxious (Marauder II and Rifleman II rescaling).

A brief note: I highly encourage anyone that wants to build additional mods requiring my mod, especially for things like custom missions or flashpoints. For example, If you'd like to write a flashpoint that features and/or awards Lostech mechs or equipment from this mod, knock yourself out. I can be reached occasionally on Discord if you have any burning questions. (I would prefer that users download this mod in its entirety from Nexus, but contact me if you have something special in mind).
I'd like to put out a thanks to @JustinKase, @bloodydoves, @SolhamaJoe, @KMiSSIoN, @MPStark @Amechwarrior and @LadyAlekto for all their hard work advice and examples.
