Welp, I guess the entire BT franchise is just not allowed to evolve and retcon some actual stupidity with the lore. And then when the whole IP dies, you'll all be rejoicing because at least the lore was preserved. Hell, Jordan "God of Battletech" Weisman (head of HBS, who made HBS BT) figured out that succession wars era has a lot of stupidity. And lets be real here, quite frankly the whole "cooling suits is LosTech™" crap was honestly a piss poor excuse to draw scantly clad women.
And before anyone comes at me with any sort of "muh lore", that's not how tech progression even works. And before someone says something about how the lore is based on the tech degradation from the fall of the roman empire, that is actually a huge myth that gets passed around when in reality tech progressed faster after the fall of the roman empire.
This mod exists because some grognard got offended that his lore was being desecrated.
The best part is that even considering the tech degradation, to suggest that nobody was able to so much as cannibalize a few cooling vests into a cooling suit, let alone, you know, using the machines and materials making that vest to make a full suit is actual insanity. Hell, even just sticking a couple USB desk fans pointing up the legs of one's pants would be well more effective than stripping to skivvies.
Wow why so butt hurt...no one has a gun to your head to use this...if your happy to have your whole lace (and pretty much evey pilot you can hire from the looks of there icons) have what should be an "Ultra Rare" item of kit that's cool for you. "f*#@ Lore in a game based on 35+ years of lore"...as for the lost tech stuff what would you think would happen if say Nvidia,AMD and Intel and the like, just took all their RND staff and just up and left the planet and on the way out the destoryed all the fabs...still think you'ed have your next gen of CPU's and GPU roll around in 2 years time....err NO.
As for the USB fan stuff lol, do you know what a fan assisted oven does...go look it up......
Yeah, but this is a nice little reminder that the whole IP just isn't allowed to evolve as decreed by the grognards, is stuck making the same content over and over again, and thusly making the same mistakes over and over again and again. The grognards will eventually kill the IP, and they'll rejoice because nobody would ever "desecrate" their IP ever again.
>as for the lost tech stuff what would you think would happen if say Nvidia,AMD and Intel and the like, just took all their RND staff and just up and left the planet and on the way out the destoryed all the fabs...
What would realistically happen in that situation is that the US would do an impromptu nationalization of said industry, and forcibly keep that from happening (for entirely military reasons). And if that's not possible, the US and like everyone else would do an insane funding dump to just to rebuild the facilities and knowledge base for it. Again, for completely military reasons.
And like I said before, the whole LosTech thing was heavily based on the myth that the Roman Empire was a technological juggernaut and the fall of the empire caused a tech decline, when in actuality tech actually kept progressing, but faster because of the constant warfare the power vacuum the roman empire left behind. Warfare, more than anything else causes tech to progress faster, which if applied to the battletech universe, the Clans would be really stagnant tech wise, and the IS would be technological juggernauts.
?As for the USB fan stuff lol, do you know what a fan assisted oven does...go look it up......
Didn't say I wouldn't still be wearing the cooling vest, which would negate the whole oven effect as I'd be circulating the air with the cooling vest surfaces. Wouldn't be as effective as a full suit, but it'd be a far sight better than sitting in my skivvies.

Cooling suits aren't microprocessors. They are just a fluid pump with a network of tubes filled with a cooling medium, same as the cooling vest. Literally the same principles, just different materials and methods of construction. Maybe it would be heavier or bulkier than an SLDF suit, but it wouldn't be impossible to make. As soon as anybody has the capability to make a vest they can make a suit, end of. If you've convinced yourself otherwise, then you're delusional.
oh the humanity, somebody has an ideal that's different then my own?!?!?!!?!?!?! "HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOW DDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE THEY?!?!?!!??!?!?" -Commie Capellan"

As well as 3rd person walking around the ship. Really turn the game into a wankfest.
