I'm thoroughly annoyed with the repair/refit times. Is there a mod or cheat to remove it? Paying C-Bills isn't a problem.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know of any mods with installers, but it was really easy to do it yourself.
You just need to use Notepad++ (or any text editor, even Windows Notepad should work) to edit the following file: SimGameConstants.json. It can be found here:
C:\GOG Games\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\simGameConstants\SimGameConstants.json

When there, look for a section called "MechLab". You can modify the amount of tech points it costs to do a given repair. For instance, I shortened the amount of time to install components.
