HeroEncounters

Description
This mod allows hero mechs to replace normal mechs of the same weight class during missions. This gives an extra opportunity to salvage rare mechs, and makes missions more interesting. There are unique HUD icons for hero mechs of each weight class.

This will pick up on heroes added by other mods and allow them to spawn as well. This includes giving them the unique hero HUD icons added by this mod.

Mod options for:
Hero mech frequency
Preventing heroes from spawning from the default spawn pools
Maxing hero pilot and weapon level
Use of non-market heroes (AKA allows special heroes from campaign missions and quests to appear)
Ignoring unit card usage (Allows heroes from other mods that aren't set up as heroes to spawn)
Restricting heroes to specific factions
Restricting clan heroes to clan factions (When running a mod that adds clan mechs)
Giving hero mechs better AI (Boss AI)

Same as question as Vive. Was wondering if thats possible now that we have a chance to fight and salvage them.

Love the mod, is it possible somewhere to disable heroes on the market ? can't find a mod doing that to focus on features of this mod

First off, thank you so much for this mod I 100% love it!

Some Hero Mech's are not on the loot table post battle even with a mod (Scrap Rat) to put everything post battle on the loot table.
As of now I've seen the Marauder Hero mech over 4 times, Marauder II however was not suffering the same issue. Hatamoto-chi has been seen twice without being on the list and lastly I saw the Highlander Melee Hero one time & it was not on the list either. The Scrap Rat mod was able to let me loot their weapons/equipment if those parts were not destroyed and for the most part when I spot a Hero I try to go for legs just to preserve the weapons on the hero.

I do not use any other mods that spawn in or mess around with Hero mechs nor do I use any major overhaul mods, which has left me just lost as to why those other hero's mentioned aren't on the loot list. I tried reinstalling the mods to change a 'load order' but it had no effect.

@Dama733 The hero clan restrictions need to be reworked, there is a much more reliable way to do it now. It will be an update at some point after I get my other mods updated for DLC7
