Works with game version: 1.1.323

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:
 
Spoiler:

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.
