NightMareLVX 11 Oct @ 6:19pm

this is will being worked on theres a bunch of mods right now that got broke thanks to the newest update the other day

Starker 11 Oct @ 4:58pm

Considering the rate at which comments are piling up here, the author should:

1) Release the source so those with spare time can get this working again. Otherwise, the people's only choice is to spam the author.

2) Put a big warning at the top of the description that says "deprecated" or "no longer working".

NightMareLVX 11 Oct @ 9:33am

seems that this mod crashes the game when you load your save after the last update now i made a new game with just this mod installed and tried to load it and it poped up and said error then closed the game out

ettena26 10 Oct @ 1:24am

would be nice to choose excatly what mechs youd like to start with

like for i wanna start with a bunch of urbies but otherwise great mod

Blackforestguy 7 Oct @ 6:36am

Starting Postiions for Steiner and Kurita are not good. Wehn you start AFTER Invasion then Kurita Startpoint is in Clan Territory

Onyx 7 Oct @ 5:32am

Thx a lot for the update

Two Tones 5 Oct @ 2:50pm

cheers for the update

Silver Pheonix 4 Oct @ 10:04pm

There is new updated on nexus. Will there be one on here?

NightMareLVX 4 Oct @ 6:50am

seems like a update is gunna be very soon as soon as steam lets it update cuz nexus as the new update now

Rizvanbeg 27 Sep @ 10:08am

You can use this mod to start advanced , then you need to disable it before you do any missions.Game will keep your start options, but you will avoid crashes. If this one doesn't work that way , one on Nexus will.

Ritter 26 Sep @ 5:27pm

Yep!
We are all still waiting for update

WarriorXq8 23 Sep @ 10:41am

Hopefully you update this mod I used it all the time...

B-savage 20 Sep @ 4:25pm

Hopefully an update soon...

fragbucket 15 Sep @ 10:04am

Please update this mod sir! :)

Sirpewpew 13 Sep @ 1:40am

I think that there is an issue even with the workaround because as soon as you remove the first pilot in your lance, you will be unable to select another pilot to fill the empty slot which automatically prevents you from launching the mission

tifun2 11 Sep @ 3:56pm

mod crashes, mod crashes, mod crashes

Ozzman7264 11 Sep @ 12:24pm

PLS update

DICK STEEL 9 Sep @ 4:11pm

please update the mod

Dionysus 9 Sep @ 3:54pm

Tried the workaround Dalinar917 posted, removed the commander from my game via this mod and sent all the pilots on a merry academy stint of one year... and now I can't start a mission because no one is in the first slot. Any help would be appreciated !

Beer_Brigade 7 Sep @ 12:47pm

Can confirm the following work around from Dalinar917 works for this mod.

The best work around is to enable it for a fresh career start. Pick or customize the career you want to start. Once in the Leopard save your game, quit, disable the mod and restart your game. When you load in everything should work properly.

Kevlar_Hoplite 7 Sep @ 12:15pm

This mod crashes my game during mission screen.

TillinTQG 7 Sep @ 7:01am

Fix your mod please. The new DLC messed it up.

TekGnosis 6 Sep @ 5:16pm

Came here to increase comment count so the author can notice and probly fix like 1 line of code due to the new DLC.

Dalinar917 6 Sep @ 1:06pm

For now until (or if) this mod is updated. The best work around is to enable it for a fresh career start. Pick or customize the career you want to start. Once in the Leopard save your game, then disable the mod and restart your game. That's what I did and it worked, I have a custom career started at 3048.

Zako Mk.II 5 Sep @ 11:19am

Thank you first. This mod needs an update.
I've noticed that after the DLC"Shadow of Kerensky" update, this mod causes to crash when entering the mission preparation screen after accepted the contract.
But it has no problem in "Instant Action" mode.

Xjimu 4 Sep @ 9:18pm

Hello, this mod seems to need an update. With it on the new dlc start is not available and i am having crashes. With mode disabled no crashes.

Ritter 4 Sep @ 12:26pm

Hello!
It is good to use with last DLC?

mrw 10 Jul @ 12:27am

For some reason mechs that shouldn't be invented yet for centuries are available when I pick early start years. I tested with 2000, 2500, 2900, and mechs which shouldn't exist yet are in the mech markets and I even start with some.

stop99 17 May @ 2:08pm

any one has an idea on how to use this mod to force a starting lance?
I have see some video off it done to for example have a starting lance consisting off only a legendary mech variant for all 4 mech

HardStrike 13 May @ 12:44am

"A little more"
>Starts me a Cyclops and an Awesome

Would be cool to have a guaranteed X2 medium and X2 light mechs option.

antipothis 7 Nov, 2024 @ 5:18pm

It requires Inner Sphere because that DLC adds the custom career campaigns. This mod just adds more options to the campaign that DLC adds.

BYKmatty 23 Oct, 2024 @ 10:48am

WHY DOES IT REQUIRE THE IMechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC TO RUN?

phfor 14 Sep, 2024 @ 7:41pm

Winterbloom - yeah that's an annoying limitation in the game engine. Import will always put you at 3015 start.

Zarica 21 Jun, 2024 @ 5:15am

most annoying bug i could find, if you import and old career, it doesnt change the start date you select, and it forces you to start in house davion every time if you import. even if thats not where the imported save is from.

Blackforestguy 13 May, 2024 @ 7:36am

Would be nice if there could be a Option to start with Medium Mechs. The Option "A Bit More" gets strange results like 2 Assaults and 2 Locusts

R4v3n-45 7 Apr, 2024 @ 11:34am

deleted message since you have to actually pick the "Custom Career Start" option for the mod to work (didn't pay attention when I made one)

1inchGrinch 27 Mar, 2024 @ 3:13pm

@ahedgcoth you can check the patch notes on the right side of the mod page under the date where it was published and updated

ahedgcoth 16 Mar, 2024 @ 9:38am

not sure how to do that but thanks for letting me know

KharnTheKhan 16 Mar, 2024 @ 3:22am

@ahedgcoth read patch notes, It was updated to dlc6

ahedgcoth 15 Mar, 2024 @ 5:23pm

I hope this mod gets updated for DLC6

jg9142 14 Mar, 2024 @ 11:13am

Since the latest DLC update. You can turn on this MoD to start the game. Once you're in, make a save game. Go out turn off MoD, restart game. Works fine then.

Ketchup_Stain 13 Mar, 2024 @ 6:31pm

I don't know if it's been reported but the mod causes a crash when entering the deployment screen prior to mission start since the new update. Took me a while to isolate this because I didn't think the mod had any effect on an existing save game.

Ciaran Zagami 9 Mar, 2024 @ 10:09am

Is there any way to set it up so I don't have to start with a junky mech that does no damage like a locust or a vulcan? I'm sick to death of going on my first mission and watching my teammates try to face tank a hunch back in their locusts.

Holycannoli 7 Mar, 2024 @ 9:10am

Does this add any starting faction options such as Perifery states? I.E. the Marians or Canopus?

SirFallsDownALot [author] 30 Dec, 2023 @ 11:45pm

this mod does not change anything about the game itself, just the career start. So, no, mech spawns are not modified.

Easy AI 30 Dec, 2023 @ 11:02am

Does this mod stop spawns of later year mechs from other mods?

Terulien 15 Nov, 2023 @ 10:01pm

problems with install. Menu indicates it is installed yet it doesn't function. Menu shows its load order as 0. Other mods listed as active seem to be functioning properly. Any ideas?

YxSleepyheadxY 28 Sep, 2023 @ 5:39am

Thanx alot for the extremely fast update to DLC5.

SirFallsDownALot [author] 25 Sep, 2023 @ 9:31pm

Does not disable anything.

Lupercal-16; Hivebane 24 Sep, 2023 @ 6:33pm

Does this disable campaigns and faction missions?

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries
