By the way, I go by Mecrutio on the BATTLETECH discord, and would change my name to that on the nexus if I could

This mod adds several weapons or pieces of gear to BOTH skirmish AND single player campaign. As of right now they items will show up in the store but not on enemy mechs...that is still being worked on.

Things this mod adds:

-Coolant Pods
Weight: 1 ton
Slots: 1
Ammo: 1
Effect: Reduces the equipped mech's heat by 30
Hardpoint: Support
Note: Only found on SLDF/Black Market worlds.

-Endo Steel
Variants: VI (Light), VII (Medium), VIII (Heavy), IX (Assault)
Weight: each variant redcuces weight by a fraction of a ton
Slots: 1
Effect: reduces used weight on a mech by a fraction of a ton per slot used. You will have to use 14 slots to achieve the same weight savings as on tabletop
Note: As of right now limiting based on weight for non-jumpjets is impossible, so you can mix and match the different types of endo steel. this is also why there are only 4 types rather than a variant for every mech weight. Only found on SLDF/Black Market worlds.
