(Answered) BV cost and mechwarrior skills?

[Fnord]

It might simply be me who is blind, but I can't seem to find where in the rules you find the modifiers to the BV cost of a mech if you change the pilots skill level. Also, are the listed BV cost of a mech for a generic 4/5 pilot, no matter the mechs origin, or do you need to modify the cost if you say use a Mad Cat (which according to Sarna costs 2737 points (BV2)), if you use a 3/4 (clan) pilot?

Also is this the table that has the BV2 values for all (older) mechs? http://www.classicbattletech.com/downloads/MasterUnitList_v1-66p_Names.pdf

Greetings,

Page 314 of Tech Manual has the table you are looking for. If you have an early edition of TM, you will want to refer to the posted errata.

The document you are referring to is a beta version of the Master Unit List. We will be releasing an updated, official list, soon.

Best,
