Li Song Mechlab (LSML)

Overview

Li Song Mechlab (LSML) is an open-source 'Mech loadout creation and analysis tool designed to empower MechWarrior: Online players with accurate and comprehensive data for optimal loadout configurations. The tool focuses on providing essential numbers and statistics, allowing you to make informed decisions about your BattleMech loadouts.

Key Features

  • Always Up-to-Date: LSML reads data directly from your MechWarrior: Online game install, ensuring real-time updates with each patch. Even unreleased mechs are available in the data files.

  • Accurate Metrics: Benefit from precise calculations for expected average damage and heat, including considerations for ghost heat, quirks, weapon jams, spread, spin-up, double fire, and other weapon properties.

  • Critical Hit Simulations: Evaluate the survivability of components in combat through critical hit simulations.

  • Advanced Search: Easily find mechs based on specific criteria, such as weapon loadouts, tonnage, speed, weapon quirks, and special equipment like jump-jets or ECM.

  • Compelling Graphs: Visualize damage and alpha strike capabilities over range, with the ability to examine individual weapon groups.

  • Efficient Mech Building: Utilize tools like Smart Place and Auto Armour to build mechs quickly.

  • Comprehensive Mech Statistics: Access detailed information on turning rate, max angles, total damage capacity of ammo, and more.

  • Export/Import Loadouts: Seamlessly transfer loadouts between LSML and the in-game Mechlab, avoiding the need to use PGI's Mechlab.

  • No Downtime: LSML runs locally on your computer, eliminating dependency on remote servers and ensuring uninterrupted access.
