'I want to make a challenging set of missions based around a planetary invasion'.Keep this idea in mind as kind of a 'mission statement' or anchor that will shape how you form things from the choices the player can make to the kinds of missions you use. So, take all this with a grain of salt, I've barely scratched the surface of this beast.įirst thing is 'Why?' Why are you trying to make a FP? Is it to create a challenge? To tell a story? To give players a fun experience? For the challenge of creating something? The reason why you are doing this should be thought about at every stage of the process. I'm sure something in here will be wrong or not quite correct, and something I think isn't possible probably is. I've only been able to hack this all together with experimentation, a lot of help from other modders and asking questions to HBS staff when they had the time to assist on Discord. I'm sure with more people diving in and experimenting in ways I haven't, we'd be able to tell ever greater stories and expand the experiences possible with BATTLETECH.Īlso, I know nothing. I've only just got started pioneering the process. I want to encourage everyone to try and make their own FPs. It might take you a while to get it done, but others like manage to put them out incredibly fast. One thing I want to say at the start, writing these Flashpoints is a lot of fun. The second post will cover advanced topics like spawning requirements, complex Event Results, failure Milestones and contextual conversation options.

Option C forfeits the Flashpoint's substantial cash reward due to your withdrawal from the contract, but enables a random event to occur soon after with the review of the case by the MRB, allowing you to recoup some of the money and minor rep gains (or loss depending on your choice) with House Kurita.Looking to tell your own story in BATTLETECH? This thread is a guide on how to craft a story in to a Flashpoint (FP) using ModTek and other free tools. Option B negatively impacts your reputation with the Draconis Combine (-10) but increases your reputation with the MRB (+12) and your crew's morale by 1. Conversely, it can drop morale even further if you refrain from telling the Capellans of Hironaka's involvement. Option A decreases your crew's morale by 1, but enables a random event to occur soon after that allows you to get some payback for Hironaka's deception, recouping the morale loss in exchange for a minor reputation loss with House Kurita.
