Is there a mod for including default loadouts for mechs? Similar to HBS Battletech?

Im looking for a mod that has the same starting recommended builds for each mech just like in quickstart mode, but available for reference in campaign mode.

What i have to do now is save my campaign, exit to title screen, go to quickstart, select random map, look for the mech i want the default setup for, copy with printscreen, alt tab, open paint, paste, alt tab, exit to title, load campaign, select a mech, alt tab and switch back and forth to compare. I wish there was an easier way. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

That's a very specific and weird request, to put it mildly... instead of doing whatever the hell kind of procedure you're doing right now you should just open Sarna website on a second monitor/phone and cross-reference "default" mech loadouts there.

Yeah ive tried that but they dont always have the mechs or details im looking for, sadly.

But i dont think its weird because Battletech had it also and besides, not everyone wants to spend time tinkering with their mechs before jumping into action. Having a simple place to start is a nice option. The REAL problem is "cold storage". Any mech you drop there is stripped naked. Then you get a mission with lower ton req and.. damn. Forgot how to fit em.

I suggest you look into the "Restore Traits" mod - very useful and helpful if you want to keep the "cantina" upgrades and keep the installed equipment with weapons too (as an option).
