I was just thinking of this update, and sure enough, here it is :D

Thank you again for the wonderful game and the dedication to support. I will miss these updates. It is a good one to go out on though.

Thank you again!

What happened to the toggle switch to set stores to pre 1.8 settings ???
Click to expand...
Ken-sw,
Several store changes were made. We have ensured that basic equipment is available where it should be, much like the 1.8 state. However because of backend complications, the feature to toggle a global reduction in ++ items in stores was cut.
 
i hope there are ALOT of unlisted fixes....

Interesting... that PHX-1b should have an XL engine and Guardian ECM, and i'm wondering how the Zeus 5T is going to fit 17 DHS... and seriously, Cyclops HQ? Whhhaaatttt?!

Downloading now and datamining ASAP!
 
Mates, are there any issues with new stuff in Mech Designer? Shouldn't be, if all new mechs and weapon variants have .json data, as it should be.
 
So DHS 'Mechs are now using 30 chassisdef heatsinks and adjusted chassis base weights. This includes the existing 'Mechs like Griffin 2/4N and the Black Knight 6b. Those last two 'Mechs are still lacking their usual electronics, however.

Cyclops HQ is just using a bigger, badder Lance Command Module.

Still looking at the DLC stuff...
 
A list of the new variants and their characteristics

Common variants (can appear on all procedural contracts, faction dependent)
* Trebuchet TBT-7K - Kurita variant, equipped with a PPC, AC5 and SRM2
* Marauder MAD-3D - Davion, all lasers and PPCs
* Zeus ZEU-6T - Steiner, all energy variants
* BattleMaster BLR-1S - Steiner, LRM/SRM/MLasers
* Cyclops CP-10-HQ - instead of mobile HQ carried by the canon variant, it removes the AC20 and replaces it with a new Advanced Command Module (+1 acc, +10% damage inflicted for whole lance) and 640 additional points of armor, while keeping the Battle Computer
* Javelin JVN-10A - LRM variant
* Cataphract CTF-0X - Liao, ECM equipped variant
* Rifleman RFL-4D - Davion, energy only variant

Blacklisted variants (Star League/Advanced Tech, can't appear in procedural contracts)
* Grand Dragon DRG-1
* Warhammer WHM-7A
* Marauder MAD-2R
* Zeus ZEU-5T
* Raven RVN-3X
* BattleMaster BLR-1GB
* Crab CRB-27b
* Phoenix Hawk PXH-1b
 
The real question now for me... do I try to run my Ironman game that I've currently got going on and try an escort mission?? Or do I continue to avoid them like they are the plague?
 
I notice nobody has freaked out over the Inferno Carrier yet.

I'm not afraid, you're afraid.
 
Killing the entire OpFor now auto-completes escort missions

THANK YOU!

This one fix will eliminate almost every problem I have with the escort mission bug since I rarely finish a mission without taking out all the attackers. If this had been active 2 days ago I could have finished an escort mission I had to abandon because one of the tanks got itself stuck in a spot it couldn't move from.

This one thing alone makes the new patch worth it.
