MekHQ is a freeware computer tool for use in conjunction with the computer game MegaMek.[1]
MekHQ helps users manage and maintain their forces between games of MegaMek by recreating the BattleTech rules for salvage and repair. The program features financial book keeping, pilot skill progression, ranks, recruitement and parts management, as well as strategic campaign planning. It includes a full, year-accurate, database of planets utilizing the Sarna Unified Cartography Kit.
Though it supports all kinds of units, from support vessels to infantry and warships, as of 2021, the program is geared towards mercenary units, and has limited support for pirate or faction-style organizations.
A solo play mode, called "Against the Bot" is provided and generates missions, scenarios with detailed, appropriate opposition, and victory tracking. [1]
Like its associated program, MegaMek, MekHQ is Java-based, and runs on any system that supports the OpenJDK Java platform.
