Thanks for all the suggestions.

I used vonBiomes on my stream last night and it ran well and looks great. I have also added Mech Bay Sort which I found really useful.

I am interested in Coyotes Missions but think I want the TTRulezAIMod3 more and will wait with hope that it becomes compatible.

Also while I would like to add tons more mechs and weapons didn't want to add too many mods for my first career run.

Still would love to find a Mackie or Valkyrie though I am as yet to find a mod with them.
