===Latest Patch Notes==
+
v17.6 (aka the "Goodie Delivery" patch) has been released to the installer. This patch is fairly small but has a lot of fun 'Mechs in it to enjoy!
−
v8.5 (aka the "The Goodyear Special" release) has been released to the installer. This has some THINGS, let's get to it.
 
  
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Canis, an 80 ton Clan garrison assault mech, has lumbered into battle. This powerhouse hits like a brick shithouse and looks like one too, it's great. All the Clans field the Canis in their garrison galaxies. You can buy the Canis at Twycross.
  
−
'''NEW FUNCTIONALITY:''' Playable vehicles are starting to trickle into BTA, starting with this patch. Our first two playable vehicles, a pair of zeppelins (you read that right, zeppelins), have arrived. There is an extensive FAQ post about how playable tanks will work, be certain to read it in detail. The two zeppelins will be detailed here for your entertainment and information.  
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Grizzly, a 70 ton Clan garrison heavy mech, has lept into battle. The Grizzly is a simple mech, built for support at all ranges, and is simple but effective. All the Clans field the Grizzly in their garrison galaxies but Ghost Bear has a second variant as well. You can buy the Grizzly at Twycross.
−
[[Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_do_combat_vehicles_like_tanks_and_zeppelins_work_in_BTA.3F|'''Please please PLEASE read the FAQ post about playable tanks though''']], it has a lot of very important information I can't easily put here.
 
  
−
'''NEW FUNCTIONALITY (kind of):''' Vehicle armor and structure values are changing. Vehicles are gaining some armor and losing a lot of structure. This should have the general effect of making them slightly easier to destroy, especially in the early game.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Woodsman, the 75 ton predecessor to the Timber Wolf, Naga, and Gargoyle, has enabled MASC to reach the battlefield in time. This Golden Century Clan Wolf OmniMech is a highly effective chassis and will serve you well. It is fielded by Clan Wolf and Clan Snow Raven (who acquired some from the Wolves).
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Naga, an 80 ton Clan artillery mech sporting double Arrow IVs and a very large engine. Find it with the Clans.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Naga II, an 80 ton refit variant of the Naga and a fork of the earlier Woodsman, has sprinted into combat. The Naga II has the same OmniMech internals as the Naga but removes that mech's fixed Arrow IV launchers and replaces them with other weaponry instead. The Naga II is fielded by Clan Wolf, Jade Falcon, and Snow Raven.
  
−
'''NEW ZEPPELIN (really):''' The Kirov Attack Zeppelin, a 95 ton behemoth of a blimp. You can fight against it in the Deep Periphery and you can get one for yourself from the Hanseatic League's faction store.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Excalibur, a venerable 70 ton fire support design from the days of the Star League, has started sniping your position. This fast fire support mech is armed with a LRM-20 and Gauss Rifle, as well as a unique sword-shield in the right arm for both melee combat and physical protection. The Excalibur dates to the Star League and can be found wherever the Star League's mechs can be found (so ComStar, Word of Blake, Dark Caste, Clan garrison forces). It can be purchased on New Earth, Quentin, and Terra.
−
NEW ZEPPELIN (really): The Dixon Peacekeeping Zeppelin, a 65 ton smaller behemoth of a blimp. You can fight the Dixon in the Deep Periphery an you can buy one from the JarnFolk's faction store.
 
  
−
'''NEW MODEL:''' The Hunchback has a new beautiful community-made model. It's a bit of a makeover, now the Hunchie is as pretty as he feels!
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Diomede, a 100 ton melee IndustrialMech with a gigantic pile-driver and some cranes, has stomped onto the field. The Diomede is similar to the Kiso in that it is a melee monster but it is a biped mech, not a quad mech. Additionally, the Diomede has BattleMech Tracks on the legs that provide a bunch of extra armor to the legs. The Diomede has both melee and non-melee variants and is fielded fairly widely, being seen in the combat forces of the Marians, Liaos, Mariks, Circinians, Froncs, Calderons, Taurians, Aurigans, and Canopians. Additionally, you can buy a Diomede at a new factory world on the planet of Silver.
  
−
*There are a handful of new pilots to be found out there, check 'em out.
+
'''NEW MODEL:''' The Naga has had its model updated to more closely align with the new Woodsman and Naga II models. No mechanical changes have been made to the Naga, this is purely visual to bring it in line with its family of mechs.
−
*The X-Mas Urbie event should now only fire on actual Christmas.
 
−
*Fixed some spawning holes with Clan Nova Cat.
 
−
*Battle armor got a speed boost, they should now walk as much as they run, give or take.
 
−
*There's some limited battle armor gear in the starting parts crate.
 
−
*You can no longer start with battle armor outside the BA-specific start.
 
−
*Battle armor still spawn in urban ambushes, but fewer of them spawn per ambush.
 
−
*The BA SMG is slightly better, but don't expect too much of it.
 
−
*0.5 skull contracts can actually spawn an allied lance now.
 
−
*There's a new start option, the Melee start, every mech has a melee weapon, go nuts.
 
−
*The Cougar's identification code is now COU, not CGR.
 
−
*There are some new tank models, such as the Odin and Shamash clan tanks, and the Alacorn and Manteuffel IS tanks.
 
−
*cDHS costs less, which will have the side effect of making a lot of clan mechs cheaper to buy. It's a sale from the Diamond Sharks! Hurrah!
 
−
*Vehicle tags have been somewhat modified to get a little more reasonable distribution of vehicles between the factions.
 
−
*Turrets now spawn based on faction, like tanks and mechs. The more advanced the faction, the scarier the turret. Also a couple of turrets that weren't spawning properly are now. Watch out for that twin Arrow turret. :wink:
 
−
*The Pallas has been properly resized down from its absurd gigantic size. Whoops!
 
−
*TTS and FCS components now have a new icon, just to look pretty.
 
−
*iMMLs now properly can indirect fire in ATM mode.
 
−
*The Max Armor button in the mechbay now should actually max armor all the way, regardless of your current available tonnage. *It completely maxes out when you click the button.
 
−
*The Improved Binary Laser (iBlazer) has been changed rather seriously. Its description should be very clear about how it behaves. Give it a try! Also, the standard Blazer has got a power boost (a little one).
 
  
 +
'''NEW INDUSTRIAL GEAR:''' The Diomede required a few new pieces of equipment be produced for it, specifically the Rivet Gun and the Spot Welder. The Rivet Gun is a point-blank high damage industrial weapon and the Spot Welder is a point-blank high effect heat weapon. Neither is particularly *good* but they exist, so have fun with them. You can buy them, along with ammo for the Rivet Gun, at Silver.
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' v8.5 is an "update" update. Run the installer again to let it just update your files and you're set to go. The installer auto-updates the CAB and injects Modtek for you.
+
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' There's some great new CC here today! There's a new pilot, Azalea, as well as five new mechs: the Great Turtle SB, Hammerhands SB, Scorpion SB, Stalker SB, and the Kiso K-3N-PB9 (which is a real melee monster, watch out!). You can find the new mechs scattered around between the shops at Astral Australis, Mack's Dustball, and Kraken's Abyss.
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' v8.5 is not a save-breaking update, your saves are compatible.
+
* A ton of typos have been fixed.
 +
* The Kit Fox has had its armor issues resolved. Whoopsie.
 +
* The Dragoon BA has the proper name now, it is no longer called Elemental. :D

[[Patch v2.0 - 2019/6/29]]
+
== BTA Light ==
 +
BTA Light has received the Canis, Grizzly, and about half of the Excalibur variants (only the currently produced ones, excluding the old Early Clan or OG Star League variants). They can be found in the same places and with the same factions as in BTA Classic. It has also received the Naga model change, though it did not receive the Woodsman or Naga II. BTA Light has seen no other changes.

Latest revision as of 19:17, 7 June 2024

v17.6 (aka the "Goodie Delivery" patch) has been released to the installer. This patch is fairly small but has a lot of fun 'Mechs in it to enjoy!

NEW MECH: The Canis, an 80 ton Clan garrison assault mech, has lumbered into battle. This powerhouse hits like a brick shithouse and looks like one too, it's great. All the Clans field the Canis in their garrison galaxies. You can buy the Canis at Twycross.

NEW MECH: The Grizzly, a 70 ton Clan garrison heavy mech, has lept into battle. The Grizzly is a simple mech, built for support at all ranges, and is simple but effective. All the Clans field the Grizzly in their garrison galaxies but Ghost Bear has a second variant as well. You can buy the Grizzly at Twycross.

NEW MECH: The Woodsman, the 75 ton predecessor to the Timber Wolf, Naga, and Gargoyle, has enabled MASC to reach the battlefield in time. This Golden Century Clan Wolf OmniMech is a highly effective chassis and will serve you well. It is fielded by Clan Wolf and Clan Snow Raven (who acquired some from the Wolves).

NEW MECH: The Naga II, an 80 ton refit variant of the Naga and a fork of the earlier Woodsman, has sprinted into combat. The Naga II has the same OmniMech internals as the Naga but removes that mech's fixed Arrow IV launchers and replaces them with other weaponry instead. The Naga II is fielded by Clan Wolf, Jade Falcon, and Snow Raven.

NEW MECH: The Excalibur, a venerable 70 ton fire support design from the days of the Star League, has started sniping your position. This fast fire support mech is armed with a LRM-20 and Gauss Rifle, as well as a unique sword-shield in the right arm for both melee combat and physical protection. The Excalibur dates to the Star League and can be found wherever the Star League's mechs can be found (so ComStar, Word of Blake, Dark Caste, Clan garrison forces). It can be purchased on New Earth, Quentin, and Terra.

NEW MECH: The Diomede, a 100 ton melee IndustrialMech with a gigantic pile-driver and some cranes, has stomped onto the field. The Diomede is similar to the Kiso in that it is a melee monster but it is a biped mech, not a quad mech. Additionally, the Diomede has BattleMech Tracks on the legs that provide a bunch of extra armor to the legs. The Diomede has both melee and non-melee variants and is fielded fairly widely, being seen in the combat forces of the Marians, Liaos, Mariks, Circinians, Froncs, Calderons, Taurians, Aurigans, and Canopians. Additionally, you can buy a Diomede at a new factory world on the planet of Silver.

NEW MODEL: The Naga has had its model updated to more closely align with the new Woodsman and Naga II models. No mechanical changes have been made to the Naga, this is purely visual to bring it in line with its family of mechs.

NEW INDUSTRIAL GEAR: The Diomede required a few new pieces of equipment be produced for it, specifically the Rivet Gun and the Spot Welder. The Rivet Gun is a point-blank high damage industrial weapon and the Spot Welder is a point-blank high effect heat weapon. Neither is particularly *good* but they exist, so have fun with them. You can buy them, along with ammo for the Rivet Gun, at Silver.

COMMUNITY CONTENT: There's some great new CC here today! There's a new pilot, Azalea, as well as five new mechs: the Great Turtle SB, Hammerhands SB, Scorpion SB, Stalker SB, and the Kiso K-3N-PB9 (which is a real melee monster, watch out!). You can find the new mechs scattered around between the shops at Astral Australis, Mack's Dustball, and Kraken's Abyss.

  • A ton of typos have been fixed.
  • The Kit Fox has had its armor issues resolved. Whoopsie.
  • The Dragoon BA has the proper name now, it is no longer called Elemental. :D

IMPORTANT: v17.6 is an "update" update. In this case, clear your Mods folder manually and then run the installer, it'll do the work for you.

IMPORTANT: v17.6 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.

REMINDER: This update, and others like it, are made possible by my Patreon and Ko-Fi supporters. Without their support, updates would come slower and be less impactful. If you feel like being a part of the support for BTA, you can find me on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/bloodydoves) and on Ko-Fi (https://ko-fi.com/bloodydoves)

REMINDER: Custom mod commissions are still available if you're interested. If you'd like to get your own community content added to BTA DM me, bloodydoves, and we can work something out.


BTA Light

BTA Light has received the Canis, Grizzly, and about half of the Excalibur variants (only the currently produced ones, excluding the old Early Clan or OG Star League variants). They can be found in the same places and with the same factions as in BTA Classic. It has also received the Naga model change, though it did not receive the Woodsman or Naga II. BTA Light has seen no other changes.
