About this mod

Endo steel internal structure has been a way to turn extra critical slots into a little more tonage for a long time and I was sad to not see it in this game, so I made it.

Permissions and credits
Warning if updating from 1.2  or older make sure you remove all Endo steel from mechs first!

Adds Endo steel upgrades.

Endo steel IV       for mechs up to 40T
Endo steel VI       for mechs 45T to 60T
Endo steel VIII     for mechs 65T to 80T
Endo steel X        for mechs 85T to 100T

Endo steel internal structure has been a way to turn extra critical slots into a little more tonnage for a long time and I was sad to not see it in this game, so I made it. Each takes 1 slot and with 12 reduces weight by about 5% of max weight IE 12 Endo steel IV reduces weight by about 2 tons (0.17 tons * 12 = 2.04 tons, 2 tons is 5% of 40 tons) this follows the battletech TT rules. There is a difference between TT and PC number of slots and how they are used so I decreased from 14 slots to 12 and adjusted weights accordingly.

When refitting a mech Battletech only checks mech weights before showing components for jump-jets so as to only show the ones that can be placed on that mech but when I made them as jump-jets they used your jump-jet slots and I'm not okay with that. If some one knows how to make it check for mech tonnage before displaying or how to make jump-jets that don't use your jump-jet slots please let me know.

Because this mod gives you odd tonnage I recommend using OnePointArmorStep.  CURSE YOU EVIL 0.01 UNUSED TONNAGE!!! lol
