It's an issue with the base game, it's hardcoded to treat everything as 3015 at the earliest.

I'll get about to making a mod to fix it after the new DLC though, so I don't have to do it more than once.

Man that would be so cool. Anything that would just hard code it so that anything with a year later than the current date can't spawn would be amazing. If you do make that mod after the DLC drops please let me know! I'd pay a bounty happily for it.

To do this real justice though would require equipment/weapon/mech outro dates to go along with introduction dates into timeline so things can become extinct along the succession war timeline. Is a long period of things going backwards so only a very small % of players would actually enjoy this.
Without this it would be a long period of stagnation instead but would prolong the 3015 tech options for players that want a slower progression at least.

Personally I don't care if/when things are phased out, I'd just love to be able to play with intro dates as a hard rule.

They are though, once introduced they are set in timeline. Unless you want only whats avail @ 3015 as the hard rule, Turning back the clock would essentially do this. Not using weapon mods would also limit this considerably too or simply not buying or equipping them.
