@DeadRaiser Alright. Fair enough. Thank you.

That’s the game doing it. I tried using some YAML properties to make them more rare but those might be broken

@Deadraiser Hey, it's me, nagging again. Is it normal that shops are pretty populated with "improved" Clan Wolverine (Minnesota Tribe) weapons right from 3015 and on but it's almost exclusively Energy and Missile systems? I only ever receive IACs from reward events such as Arena level ups. The amount of available "I" weapons is also massive. They are literally everywhere.

@DeadRaiser Will do. Thank you.

@pRaX seems as though you haven't updated Assorted Fixes as the changes to the PPC-X are in this mod now as I added mode swapping to them. Recommend you get that properly updated by resubscribing to the mod.

@DeadRaiser I see, thank you for answering. Much appreciated.
I got another question though. For some reason, I don't see any of the vanilla PPC-X in neither markets nor do enemy mechs spawn with them. Also, Solaris DLC Mech variants seem strangely absent from markets, missions and arena missions aswell. I have not enabled the "disable PPC-X" option though, which is where my confusion about this stems from.
*EDIT* Nevermind, the cause is your "Assorted Fixes and Content Restoration". All good.

@pRaX AI automatically switch between fire modes based on their range from their current target.

@DeadRaiser I'm just glad it was this simple reason. And it was kinda funny being in Davion space which was almost completely void of ballistics. Something was very very wrong there hehe.
I got a question though. For example, your ILRMs default firing mode is cluster while the more powerful one is the stream mode. One has to manually switch to that one though. Is there a way to tell AI lancemates to switch firing modes? Or was this deliberate so they can't use them?

@pRaX oof. That's on by default because I thought it would cull out the markets of the practically useless Tier 0 weapons hoping that the Tier 1 weapons would fill in. I guess that's not working as intended then so good call to let people know to disable that option if the weapon markets aren't properly populating.

So, I had an issue where I couldn't see almost no "normal/vanilla" weaponry show up in shops. Esepcially ballistics were absent almost everywhere on a fresh 3015 career yet they were filled with mostly melee weapons and your creations. Turns out this is due "Disable Tier 0 Weapons" being enabled by default and resulted in the markets being barren. So if anyone else runs into this issue, this is why.
