Request: Jumpjet ... and Omni-point everything? ... in YAML?

[ix09]

Hi!
I've played through game many times vanilla, and am now doing silly things, and sometimes unbalanced, un-lore-friendly, even cheat-y things. I only play solo, so, it's just me being silly for me.

Anyway, I found custom mechs for vanilla that have and do interesting fun things, but, I was wondering if it was possible to stick jumpjets on everything in YAML? ... or at least have the points there to use/not use on any and every variant of any and every mech?

There's some Kintaros, Cataphracts, Nightstars, even little Flea variants in YAML I think it would be fun to duct-tape glue or weld some JJs onto.

YAML already kinda lets you glue on ECM, Active Probes, sensors, targeting, and lots other accessories that are not options in Vanilla, but, it's not friendly with letting a peep bolt JJs onto absolutely everything.

Can we get so love for JJs on everything, everywhere for YAML?

Second to that, it might also be fun if every single hardpoint on every mech was Omni, and could fit any weapon type of any size ?

Yes, these are not lore friendly. They can even be cheaty, but, they could also bring some interesting and fun combinations.

Thank you!!!!! :smile:

UPDATE: I found a ... solution? part of a solution?

There a Mod called "X Tech Equipment" that has cheaty jumpjets (and some other thingses) that can be glued onto any mech in any empty space.
You have to uncheck the "valid equipment only" box in the mechlab for those JJs to show up in the equipment list (IF you have the equipment in inventory), but, once they can be seen, they can be dropped into any empty space on a mech in the mech lab! :smile:

Here's link to mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/156?tab=description

I'm still stuck without omni points to glue any old weapon any place on any variant, but, that's just kinda second to the jumpjets thing.
