My fellow mechwarriors, i have figured out how to get this mod and (Enhanced Academies mod) to somewhat work together.

First go to the academy you want, save and un mark POE from mod list.

Then load back your save after reset, and Use enhanced academies to select the traits you want and make sure that you have the time reduction setting on.

Then after you've sent them off to school, Do not skip time to graduation yet. make another save and then remove/un mark enhanced academies mod and re enable POE.

After resetting yet again, load your save. The pilot should still show 7 days till graduation depending on which program you picked. Now you can fast forward time and get the selected trait you want as well as 1-2 other traits based on available slots. these will be random but can be re rolled via reloading your save.

You will also retain all the Skill point traits/values you got from POE

Do not ask me how it works, I have no idea

Praise the Omnissiah!

@NightMareLVX try seting in the options full range. It happened to me too, when I get to the planet the elite disapeared.
NightMareLVX 25 Sep @ 3:37pm 
dont know whats causing this but most of the hero pilots still disappear for me when i go to where they are at the only way i can get any is if there are multiple pilots there then i can get 1 but the others vanish

Thank you for updating.
Most of my 1200+hrs playtime is thanks to your mod.
After release of DLC7, I've waited for this mod's update.
Today i found the update, and load my save(before DLC7) to find most of my pilots dissapeared....

when you send a pilot to an academy, you can also make a quirk training, and then the pilot is available for use
Ketchup_Stain 22 Sep @ 4:10pm 
@jackalope, is it possible to make something like a pilot overhaul lite where the only feature is the mech affinity? No extra pilots quests, no traits?
IRockFiction 22 Sep @ 3:37am 
@jackalope85 YAY! Doing an awesome job by the way!
jackalope85  [author] 22 Sep @ 3:17am 
@IRockFiction its on my list
IRockFiction 22 Sep @ 2:31am 
any chance you could add the training time modifier to affect the Academy training time as well?
The Overlander 21 Sep @ 3:32pm 
ehhhh this touching the commander is something i dont like can that be turned off in mod options?
Veteran Stalker Ryoma 21 Sep @ 2:03am 
so, not sure if anyone else is having this too, but in co-op, no one but the host can see the pilot stats, kills, missions, damages, nada.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't see a pilot's status on the final pre-mission launch screen where you scroll through available pilots. There's nothing indicating what the pilot's status is until I select them, then it displays they are training. The last update before DLC7 displayed their status when scrolling through the roster. Hopefully, it will again.

OMG so excited to try this, thank you!
IRockFiction 20 Sep @ 8:59am 
Not sure if its intended but pilot traits seem to be auto selecting for some reason. If you dont chose a trait or go to another system, they will gain a random trait until they have no more available slots.
Doktor Jeep 20 Sep @ 7:37am 
Amazing update. Love this mod. One issue I have seen, hero pilots seem to disappear when you jump into their system
posthum 20 Sep @ 5:08am 
Thank you very much <3
Kruger 20 Sep @ 3:47am 
Wooha, Thank you!
Mad Butcher 20 Sep @ 1:43am 
Does this mod work with LancemateOrderz from the original mod? I'm really used to features like protecting targets and switching between engange at will and focus fire. Thanks!
BelPontas 19 Sep @ 11:40pm 
There seems to be some issues for multiplayer when swapping mechs and pilots, it'll shift the pilots or mechs down one one slot until you go back to the mech bay and come back
Pere 19 Sep @ 10:27pm 
Finally, you got... (changed, no more stupid little voice) , thank you so much for your updates on your incredible mods

Yosory 14 Sep @ 12:39pm 
Love you guys. Hope you'll have a good time updating the mode :*
Pere 14 Sep @ 12:20pm 
@follejag1776
"it's taking some time due to how much has changed with pilots in DLC7"
Means that we need to be patient and he is working on it , and yeah we all love this mod :steamhappy:
follejag1776 14 Sep @ 9:13am 
plz update i dont have pictures for like anny of my pilots now. great mod buy the way
Ketchup_Stain 14 Sep @ 4:06am 
@gearknight04 I read on reddit that in order to get goblin's true voice you disable YAML before you accept him into your company. One he's joined you, you can reactivate YAML after.
RuffyRoxX 13 Sep @ 1:33pm 
i had to remove this mod sadly. it crashes constant with the new DLC. i forgot to save the crash report but it was definitly PO causes the crash
jackalope85  [author] 13 Sep @ 10:12am 
@Jefffinitely You don't need the DLC for the base game update that comes with the DLC to cause crashes.
Jefffinitely 13 Sep @ 3:44am 
keeps crashing even without owning the latest Dlc
gearknight04 13 Sep @ 2:34am 
goblins voice that is
gearknight04 13 Sep @ 2:33am 
@jackalope85 I don't and have never used the coyotes mission packs I have only ever used YAML mods and logo mods and the pilot overhaul on the workshop, I like to keep it simple and minim. is their any way to restore it
Hermatus 12 Sep @ 1:41pm 
.... we all are checking and waiting for this awesome mod daily :steamhappy:
Glowbear 12 Sep @ 11:52am 
I'm checking every day now :steamhappy:
Don't want to start without this. Take your time!
Pere 12 Sep @ 5:20am 
They took the idea and set it to the worst level ever, I mean you loose a pilot for a year and all for a shitty RNG. And the guy who makes the portraits :steamfacepalm: he or she is getting paid for that portraits??
Scarfoot 12 Sep @ 4:28am 
Thank you for your work on the update. It's a pity they took the idea and included it in DLC7 (with some variations), but with significantly reduced functionality. Some of the traits have an interesting impact, while others are rather irritating. I hope you'll reclaim the good stuff for Pilot Overhaul 2.
jackalope85  [author] 11 Sep @ 8:48pm 
@gearknight04 Neither version of pilot overhaul modifies Goblin at all. Coyote's Mission Pack overrides his voice to add sound effects for other things, and removes the unique voice by doing so.
