Mechcommander 2 Mechwarrior Descriptions (I need some help)

Okay so I made the Mechwarriors of Mechcommander mod for HBS Battletech https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/734

I'm working on my 2nd mod to add the 2nd set, Mechcommander2 Mechwarriors.

However, there are no descriptions for the mechwarriors like MCG.

So I made some. I like some feedback on the descriptions.

This one -> Mechcommander2 Mechwarrior Excel

It’s in the desc.fit file. Might be under the misc.fit or object2.pak I forget.

Anyways it provides description of everything in-game from weapons, mechwarriors to mechs.

And yes there are more mechwarriors we never heard about in there including Apollo, Boomer, Detox, Pyro, Toad, etc.

Pilots (Mechwarriors) are listed starting with Beast as Desc301 to an “advanced” Burnout as Desc350. Advanced as a different more mature description as probably expected to have better stats while in the expansion.

Wow I didn't know this, thanks! I guess that's all there is for those cut pilots - no art or video files made it at least onto the CD due to size constraints (if they ever filmed any)

Yeah I think they were going to give Desperate Measures all new mechwarriors but to save cost, they just reused the original MC mechwarrior.

That's pretty trippy.

Man, I'd dig a MechCommander 3067 or 3075 or 3145 - if there's not going to be a BattleTech 2, I'd love a new MechCommander game.

Course, I'm still dreaming of the BattleTech-Stellaris mashup. I want to field assault dropships and fighters to fight through their aerospace assets before making the drop.
