Permissions and credits
What it can do:

Once you start the script you get following options.
Just type the number and press enter to execute the command.

Backup game files          = 1    Creates a backup of all altered game files. Do this first.
Restore game files         = 2    Restores the backed up original game files.

Remove action delays   = 3   Removes small delays before and after an action. This reduces turn time.
Speed up movement     = 4   Lets you input a factor for movement speed of all units. eg. '2' will double the movement speed. 1.5-2 seames to be reasonable value.
Note: this only increases animation speed and not how far units can move during their turn.

Faster days                    = 5   Increases the speed at which time passes when in traveling in space. So less time waiting during travel.
Set contract count        = 6   Allows to input values for maximum number of contracts and how often they refresh per week.

Set contract pay            = 7   Set the base contract payout that scales with difficulty. More money or less if you want.
No maintenance cost   = 8   Removes running costs for Mechs, Pilots and Dropship.
Instant refit                    = 9   Removes refit time and costs. Refiting or Repairing a mech is now instant.

Exit                                 = 0   Close the script.

Prerequisits:
First you need Powershell 3 or higher, if you running Windows 7 you might need to update.
Look here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=40855

Script execution has to be allowed.
  • Start Windows PowerShell with the "Run as Administrator" option. Only members of the Administrators group on the computer can change the
    execution policy.
  • Enable running unsigned scripts by entering:
    set-executionpolicy remotesigned

Using the mod script:
Copy the script to the BATTLETECH game folter, where you will also find 'BattleTech.exe'.
If you got the game on Steam this will get you to the right folder:
rightlick on the game in your library => properties => local files => browse local files

Right click the script file and choose Execute with PowerShell.
You should now see all the above mentiont options.
Type in the number you want and press enter.
Some options might ask for additional input (eg. a factor, or absolut values). Type them like eg. 1000.5
Make sure to backup first.

Have fun.

The script can be edited with any text editor. So feel free to make changes as you want.

Known Bugs:
- Increasing the contract payout can make it possible to get more than 6 salvage picks. This is not supported by the game and leads to a soft lock.
  Never negotiate more than 6/X Salvage.
- Removing the action delays also removes all post action comments from your pilots
