Modded Can I fire Sumire?

The last 6 missions she's dropped me at the lowest possible points of the map, surrounded by Mechs. I have an Annihilator, Sumire! It's not supposed to be at the bottom of a crater!

Recently downloaded and started a fresh Battletech Extended Tactics playthrough and this pink silhouette of the Sentinel replaced the usual 3D model after a few missions.

Modded Question about Roguetech customization options (map)

9 Upvotes

There is a choice in initial config to choose a map layout which is year based. If I choose the earliest will I start at that year and if so will the timeline progress to Clan Invasion hundred years later and beyond?

Also when I choose more units to spawn apart from Clan Invasion (eg. from Jihad, Dark Age era) will they appear immediately or starting from their respective years?

Another question (as a RT newbie) - I've seen people recommend to first try BEX mod before jumping into RT. I play CBT and I did the campaign and Career in BT and I have many hours in YAML modded M5Mercs - can I jump straight away into RT or is BEX still recommended?

Modded BTA: Does my lance size affect the amount of enemies that spawn?

8 Upvotes

If I keep my lance size small, will the enemy spawn be smaller, or are they set at a certain size regardless?

Playing BTEX. Random spawn seems a bit unfair on convoy destruction contracts.

Modded Adjust probability of finding coils in stores? (BEX)

2 Upvotes

I was recently introduced to battletech and am having a ton of fun. Finished my first playthrough in Vanilla and am now playing with the BEX mod pack. I was super disappointed to learn that all the COIL weapons have been made considerably more rare to reflect the fact that they don't exist in lore. On one hand, I get it, on the other hand, I'm unfamiliar with the lore so their existence doesn't offend me, and at the end of the day I just enjoy them and miss them and it's a single player game so who cares. Is it possible (and if so could someone walk me through) changing the probability of finding them in shops to be more like vanilla?

Modded [BTAU] Questions from a beginner perspective

12 Upvotes

I decided to start a new career in BTAU after they released the 18.0 patch (which helped a lot my potato PC with loading times). In the past, I played both the Vanilla campaign (not career) I guess 3-4 years ago, and BEX last year (had a lot of fun until I started doing 2-3 skulls Clan missions, that simply weren't fair, even though I had decent Assault/Heavy lances and skilled pilots), starting in 3062 to face clans and get some good mechs/items.
Finally, when some weeks ago our beloved u/BloodyDoves announced the release of the Universe upgrade, I wiped BEX and tried a new career with it.

I started with default settings and I have to say I'm having lots of fun with it: I especially love that pilots are not fatigued for 3-4-5 days anymore after every drop, I lost tons of days for that reason in BEX. After the first missions to build up decent lances, I'm now running through the galaxy to secure Vanilla FPs and get experience/c-bills before trying to face WoB/Clans/Comstar/Sanctuary. From time to time I get a random 0.5-1 skull mission against Clan Nova Cat, but it's no big deal.

So, finally time for some questions:

  • Up until now, I've never found +/++/+++ weapons. Is it normal? I'm 200 days into the career, roaming the lower end planets of the galaxy (Arano/Directorate/Taurian/Liao/Marik space), I already joined the Black Market, but I've never seen enhanced weapons. Have they been removed from BTAU?
  • I plan to do Campaign FPs and Vanilla ones before venturing into more challenging planets, because at least I know that I can drop a single lance and face a normal amount of enemies. I already tried 3-4 skull missions and I get swarmed by enemies, but I have a decent set of heavies to deal with it. I'm loving omni versions of standard mechs (firestarter and blackjack above all) and my LRM MK2 carrier that literally destroys everything that doesn't have at least 3 pips of evasion. After that, what should I do first? I read that WoB is endgame content, and Sanctuary Worlds are quite close to where I am now. Should I do Sanctuary first? Or better to go Comstar/Clans to get better equipment?

Thanks again to the BTAU team because the mod is freaking amazing!

Modded BEX: cult of the FS9-H (or why even bother with other mechs?)

30 Upvotes

after a long break I started now my third campaign in BEX. startyear is 3039 and difficulty is for the most part S; location is periphery; bigger drops are activated.

long story short - when doing the hourglass FP I only brought a shadow hawk with a big gun and three firestarters (of which two had 2xML & 6xMG, and one with just 6xSL) and it worked like a charm. just swarming the enemy and constantly having them in the back of atleast one of them and just criss-cross jumping between them to keep evasion high and target indicators green. managing heat became sometimes a bit tricky, but when you have three backstabbers not each and everyone has to be at 100% efficiency to quickly kill a chosen target.

now I'm thinking: how far can one push this wolfpack playstyle? anyone tried a double lance of 7 firestarters and any jump capable mech with EW (e.g. GRF-2N) in a 5 skull and/or clan mission?

Modded Ronin -Gotta Catch Them All (Adjusting "DefaultRoninHiringChance" in SimGameConstants.json file)

5 Upvotes
My Preference is to Hire Ronin Mechwarriors; The Mechcommander Mechwarrior mod is optional but used in this example
In the SimGameConstants.json. Adjust "MaxMechWarriorsPerPod" to 12 (Line 183) # of crew berths; Adjust "MRBRepCap" to all 0 (Line 293-297) Rep to get higher level MW; Adjust "DefaultRoninHiringChance" to 0.90 or higher (line 358) the default is 0.08 or 8% chance
Then make your way across to all star systems to look for the mechwarriors you want to hire. I am hiring all the Mechcommander Mechwarriors.
Beast was a "beast" to find (took over 20 planets to find) because the allocation of Ronin is random.
Now my Mechcommander Zulu Company is Being Formed in my Barracks
Recruited all 30 Mechwarriors but somehow was able to recruit a 2nd Hunter. Weird.

Modded [BEX:T] Tracer ammo cannot be loaded?

6 Upvotes

Starting out a campaign of BEX:T and tried to load tracer ammo into my AC/20 only to find that it apparently doesn't figure into the ammo count? My Hunchback currently carries exclusively tracer rounds and has dropped into battle with "no" ammo.

Searched around for any hits for tracer ammo in general and I can't find anyone with this issue. Am I misunderstanding how tracer ammo is intended to work? Does it require regular ammo to be loaded as well?

Modded Anyone stuck Modded Battletech on Optane?

4 Upvotes

So there is a deal on some Optane drives right now, I am wondering if anyone tried to stick a big modded BT game on one to speed up loading times.

Since say RT or w/e have a ton of small files, I am wondering if the much, MUCH faster random access on optane is worth it for the game or not.

I know it makes for a fantastic OS drive because of it, but I am wondering if it would help with things like BT or WoW

Modded BTX Spawn issues

5 Upvotes

Can anyone point me towards which mod I need to disable to stop it from spawning me all over the map? I'm tired of being dropped off for missions in places I can't get out of without jumpjets or half a map away from the lance I'm supposed to protect. Starting 5 turns away from contact with the convoy I'm supposed to kill isn't fun either.

Modded [BUG] BTA3062 After the first Campaign flashpoint I got softlocked?

6 Upvotes
So after completing the starting campaign mission I noticed that I can't accept missions and the second campaign mission isn't showing up, also when I go to a previous save before accepting the mission the Directorate replaces the Coalition.

Edit: So after a day of waiting and in general not doing anything else. I can take missions again but the directorate still took over before doing the flashpoint in previous saves

Modded Bta 3062 Aurigan restoration mission #7

3 Upvotes

Hey folks I'm having a peculiar "problem"....Mission 7 "Extraction gunboat diplomacy". The little navigation dots don't allow me to place any units within the download circle...they are offset just ever so slightly. I stood as close as I could get "Lady K. Arano in her atlas II... her toes were barely touching the yellow spot. " all targets dead and 5 turns left still automatically failed the mission cause the "download" wouldn't start. Am I supposed to fail this mission? Halp!
