Expanded Random Lance Mech Pool (Work In Progress)

[Q_res]

I laid the groundwork for this in the lead up to today's release of Heavy Metal, but I am currently working on a mod that will change the pools of Mechs available when you select "Random Starting Lance" for Career Mode. The general idea is to up variety and give a more varied early game experience. Primarily by adding low-end Mechs that have been added in DLC and variants of existing Mechs added in patches. This is a Work-In-Progress as I've not yet adjusted the weighting of various Mechs in each pool. I know some won't care for the inclusion of some Heavy Mechs in this, but I tried to keep it reasonable and I do intend for them to be quite rare spawns. Mostly, I just thought it'd be a neat easter egg to allow the player to pull the Grey Death Legion lineup circa Mercenary's Star as a very rare pull.



Feedback would be appreciated, once I've got some weighting figured out I'm going to package it up for download if anyone wants to check it out.

Mod is up and running, though far from complete. As of now, you simply copy the files into your itemCollections folder. Please backup prior to use, but I would appreciate anyone willing to give it a shot and provide some feedback on adjustments. Both to the lists and the weighting.
