MechCommander:Lostech

This article is under construction. MechCommander: Lostech is a modification by NimoStar which can be installed on the official (and freeware) MechCommander: Desperate Measures or the fan package Darkest Hours (by RiZzen), with "Omni" options for installing on other fanmade campaign packs.

The package includes over 100 new weapons and components as well as an overhaul of all 'Mechs and vehicle loadouts. These loadouts include several variants of each vehicle, diferring on each faction for weapons and other characteristics, as well as having faction-specific pilots.

Another novelty to the last version, 0.8, is the addition of special player-controllable units and pilots that can call unlimited airstrikes, like the Aerospace Spotters.

Canonocity
Over 90% of the new weapons and most of the new loadouts are canon or canon-based within the BattleTech official universe. However, some of the new weapons are fanmade variations, such as the Clan Targeting Railgun, and a few are completely original such as the Tesla Repeating Coil.

Features

 * Over 100 new weapons, sensors and components.
 * Many new vehicles.
 * Vehicles are faction specific (Clan vehicles, IS vehicles, Capellan vehicles).
 * A new BattleMech (Fire Falcon).
 * New pilot rooster for the Capellan Confederation.

Beta Campaign bugs
The main bug in the mod is exclusively relevant to campaign mode. Due to limitations that crash the game, loose components in the player's inventory, if they are the mod's new ones, aren't included on savegames or passed in between missions. They can be saved if included inside 'mech loadouts (even if such mech isn't currently in use).

"Refitting" action on 'mech using unlisted new weapons also crashes the game.

This error is being worked on, but there are no leads on how to fix it thus far.
