So I tried the Rougue Tech mod. Quite big and includes a simple all in one installer. TONS of changes and more than a few bugs that I found in my few hours of playing with it. I really didn't like it and/or the few bugs I found, so I deleted the whole mod folder and tried going back to my existing (all 7k plus days of it! ) campaign and it was bugged and crashed. I reinstalled Battle Tech and my existing campaign was still there and worked fine. Heck, we have a couple of months at least till something really new comes out , so I figured I would try a new Iron Man campaign. Interesting so far, have only played a few hours yesterday.

Is there a mod that puts the lost tech out there to find and buy? That's the glaring omission from the game.

Yeah I think a couple. Pretty hard to install for the most part, for me anyway. The Rougue Tech AIO (All In One) had a great simple installer and it had TONS of stuff I had never heard off, at least 3 different kinds of Gausses I saw in my few hours of playing. All kinds of armor, aiming aids, target painters, bizarre free flight missiles. Many, many weapons I had never heard of or seen before. You guys who know the lore might recognize them.
The mod wasn't unplayable, just really, really required a whole new learning curve. So much had changed, its a different game. No CTD's or anything like that, just a couple of interface visual bugs. I may try the newest Alpha version when I win or, die in my new campaign.

Battletech has a pretty decent reddit community, Roguetech is one of the more frequent topics. My understanding is that it’s a much harder game than vanilla. Oh, and Dekker getting killed in action is also pretty common it seems.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein

I remember watching a video showing that compilation mod. I can’t remember everything in it, but I do remember thinking for each part that sounded good, there were 2 that seemed contrived and simply there to make the game overly complicated and remove the fun. Good game design is about more than difficulty and excessive details. Fortunately, this isn’t a game that’s lacking out of the box and needs mods to force it to be good.

Yeah, the over complication and tons of new stuff to learn was what I disliked the most.
Start over with the New Iron Man. Good fun so far.

I tried that and it was a buggy mess to load, overly complicated and felt "falsely" difficult. Hard to explain. I ended up ditching it and going vanilla and it was fun again.
