Installation:
Download and unzip the main file. Place the unzipped folder containing a mod.json, Paks folder, etc. into the Mods folder of your MW5 installation (discard the Nexus created folder that has numbers at the end of the mod name). You can go in-game to Mods at the main menu and click the Manual-install folder if you're having trouble finding it. Final install path should look like Mechwarrior5\MW5Mercs\Mods\DropFees
Details:
- Removes tonnage limit for a fee
- Option to only add fees for excess tonnage
- Base fee rate affected by the current employer's faction standing (worse standings mean higher rates)
- Going over the tonnage limit will incur an exponential extra cost per ton
- Works with generated and campaign missions

[DropFees]
ExcessDropFeeOnly=False
ExcessOnlyBaseFee=42500 ;0-250000, Adds flat fee when using excess only and going over limit
DropFeeRate=750 ;0-10000
FactionAdjustment=50 ;0-1000
ExponentialRate=1.125 ;1.0-2.0
For those that want to fiddle with values for their own balancing, here's the general equation:
Adjusted Fee Rate (AFR) = (DropFeeRate - FactionAdjustment * EmployerPoints)
Drop Fee = (AFR * CurrentTonsUpToLimit) + (AFR * ExcessTons)^ExponentialRate
Ex: (750 fee rate - 50 faction adjustment * 3 standing) = 600 cbills per ton
(600 * 200 ton limit) + (600 * 20 excess tons )^ 1.125 ~= 158,822 drop fee
Default values are set to encourage only going 5-50 tons over limit without taking too much away from mission reward.
Notes:
*On first install you need to travel to a different system to regenerate scenarios and remove tonnage limits.
