Known Issues
- Hero mechs received as mission rewards won't display the correct weight and number of critical slots. To resolve this, strip the mech before refitting it.
- Hero mechs received as mission rewards may show their melee weapon slots as being empty. Saving and re-loading the game will resolve this.
- New mech variants don't appear in the Instant Action mech list when filtering by weight class. To work around this issue, select the relevant chassis from the left nav without filtering by weight class.
- Mod has not been tested in co-op mode. If you trying it in co-op, make sure all players in the party have this mod installed. However, it still may not work correctly.
Compatibility
- Conflicts with max tonnage mods. To work around this issue, open this mod's mod.json file. Set defaultLoadOrder to 1 and save the file. That will cause this mod to load after the max tonnage mod. You'll get the effects of the max tonnage mod in all missions except the ones this mod modifies, and this mod will still work correctly.
- This mod will conflict with other mods that modify the campaign start condition.
- This mod may conflict with other mods that add new variants of the ANH, BLR, CN9, KGC or WHM.
