Battletech Extended: Commander's Edition - Part 1
Ойындар
BattleTech Extended is multiple Expansions to the base game. Adding the universe of BattleTech in to the HBS game, with the official time line as written while also adding variably selectable tabletop inspired improvements to the game.
The whole Inner Sphere is represented, including the many factions, units and mercenaries populating the 'Sphere. Clans invade, ComStar and Word of Blake will be jerks, elite units may provide harder missions, the Bounty Hunter may hunt you.
'Mech and Vehicle rarity is based on Xotl’s highly researched and well regarded D1000 tables and changes based on date, interpolating between the tables as days in game pass. Force compositions are the closest to what the universe of BattleTech is meant to look like possible with very little apocryphal content, other than nods to what has been seen in other games or fun parts of the lore like the Crescent Hawks.
The time in game will change the map, the events that are occurring, the units that are garrisoning planets, the technology available in different areas of space, the 'Mechs and 'Vees that the Op For is using. All based on source books and novels.
The mod can be played (campaign or career) with rules very close to the standard game as released but with insane amounts of extra content (well over 1000 'Mechs and 'Vees for example) and extra layers to the simulation layer. Or it can be played with rules massively adding to the tactical game, heavily inspired by the Tabletop but improved for a video game experience, for example adding components to the 'Mechs but not increasing the RNG based ways you can die in one shot in tabletop rules.
'Mechs and Pilots are much more unique, with 'Mechs having quirks from the BattleTech manual converted for the HBS game and Pilots having quirks based on their background and gain affinities with the 'Mechs they pilot.
Units you face are not just different paint schemes, some will use special 'Mech rarity tables, more elite tables, or favour certain equipment.
Pilots have morale in mission and can panic eject rather than fighting to the death every time, rookies are more likely to ‘nope’ out.

The having 2 lances of mechs is what really gets me. Lights and mediums are still useful I love it
I just started a playthrough last week. Was quite excited to see this lovely mod getting some love. It's so much less taxing on the system. I really dislike the 2 million initiative phases of roguetech, and the extra components (hands, actuators, etc) that's added in bta and rt get tedious as well as gumming up the salvage picks. This is still my favourite mod. Bta is a close second.

I do love having a stable framerate for once... I suspect I'll maybe end up missing a few of the mechanics of BTA, like the fact that Scout mechs are still viable and even necessary in the endgame... which I don't know will be the case in BEX. So far I am very pleasantly surprised.
I'm still a BT:A fan but this is a nice mid step between the base game and the spicier mods.
In vanilla, the Jenner is best served stripping out the JJ and the SRM4. Run around and stab mechs in the back.
11:34 love how you say vanilla.
hmm, if you have mechs with heat problems and you constantly use jump jets you are never going to cool down. The more you jump the more heat you generate. For example, the Jenner with 5 weapons and you only got to use 1 every turn due to constantly jumping around.

Yeah, in the early episodes of this playthrough I did underestimate how much heat jumping generated. Another thing that can alleviate heat-issues is just levelling up a Mechwarrior's Guts-skills... which I also ignored in lieu of better aiming.
You do know jumping adds heat. Starter mechs suck on heat dissipation. Jumping also adds stability issues.

I do eventually figure that out, yes... this video was recorded over a year and a half ago.
How do I install the mod ?, I've a had few attempts, no joy 🤔.

Download and unzip Battletech Extended into the BATTLETECH/mods folder. Download and install the "Community Asset Bundle", and run it (this will take hours). Go to BATTLETECH\Mods\ModTek\ and run ModTekInjector.exe. The last part is the thing that actually lets the game know about the mods. Then you can also install Bigger Drops if you want. If you've done all of those things... do you get an error message at any point?

They also have an extremely helpful discord. Also, if you're installing over another mod, even if you disabled the mod, sometimes causes problems if you're using the gog version. Not sure about steam version but it seems to be much less problematic.
Ok small question dose the game end after 1200 days?

Nope, that's just when you get your score for leaderboard purposes. you can keep playing as long as you want after that.
What is your mods list?

For this playthrough it is just Battletech Extended (link in the description) + Bigger Drops (addition for Battletech Extended).
You sound strikingly like Skallagrim...
