+
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!
  
−
v12.0 (aka the "It's Christmas But I Got *You* A Present!" release) has been released to the installer. This patch is a mixed bag of fixes and updates and new content.  
+
'''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.
  
−
'''MERRY CHRISTMAS!:''' All of the BTA Holiday Events are back! Sinterklaas returns as long as you have [[Wulfbanes]] on your crew. In December 3062, you might be paid a visit by Kringle's Killers, be good and there might be a present in it for you. And then in Dec 3063, Professor Horvath might show up and drop off a small [[UrbanMech#UM-XMAS|UrbanGift]]. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
+
'''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 [[Howler]], a 20 ton Clan light fire support mech, has been added. All the [[Factions#Clans|Clans]] field it and the [[Clan Diamond Shark#Faction Store Inventory|Diamond Sharks]] sell it.
+
'''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 [[Reptar]] and [[Cazador]], 35 ton light Clan garrison designs, have been added. The Reptar is actually primitive-level tech and is available from the [[Factions#Deep Periphery|Deep Periphery factions]], despite its unusual Protomech AC/8 and cLMGs. The Cazador is proper Clantech and is available from the Clans. Since the Reptar comes with a Protomech AC/8, that gun (as well as the PAC/2 and PAC/4) have been added to BTA. You can find them in the Clan Diamond Shark store as well as their ammunition.
+
'''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 (sort of):''' The [[Reconquista#RCQ-0N|Reconquista]], a 75 ton Primitive Orion knockoff from the Deep Periphery, has been added to the Deep Periphery factions ([[Hanseatic League]] and friends). You can get it from them... if you want to for some reason (it has an internal combustion engine, it's not great).
+
'''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 MECHANIC:''' Convoy truck units (the Burro, J-27, K-27, and J37) now carry a component named the Cargo Component. This piece of gear drops in salvage when a convoy unit is destroyed (say, in Ambush Convoy missions). When salvaged, instead of being an equippable piece of gear, it is actually a lootcrate that cracks open to give you some gear and some cash from randomized lists. Note that you can get mechparts or even, very rarely, an entire [[:Category:Hero Mechs|*Hero* 'Mech!]] You want a second crack at getting heroes? Go ambush the shit out of some convoys!
+
'''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.
  
−
'''UPDATED VISUALS:''' A number of [[Gear|gear categories]] have had their icons updated for visual uniformity. Heat Sink Kits, E-Coolings, Engine Shieldings (XL, XXL, LFE, etc), Engine Cores, Electronic Warfare Gear (ECM, BAP, etc), Movement Gear (TSM, MASC, Supercharger, etc), Sensors and Life Support in the head as well as things that sit on those slots, and the filters in the mechbay for all these things now have distinct icons to make the mechbay a little more interesting and clearer to look at (just go load the game and look around the mechbay for item icons, you'll see what I'm talking about immediately).
+
'''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 QUIRK:''' There is now a new default quirk for [[:Category:IndustrialMechs]] (which includes the [[Cazador/Reptar|Reptar]], the [[Loader King]], the [[Dig King]], the [[Crosscut]], and the [[Excavator|ExcavatorMech]]). The IndustrialMech [[Mech Quirks|quirk]] increases physical weapon accuracy, grants a bonus hit with a physical weapon and with a punch (this stacks with pilot skills), reduces self-damage from Charges and DFAs, and finally reduces stability damage taken. This might help buff up the industrials a bit so they're less abjectly underwhelming.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''SWAPPED QUIRK:''' The [[Rifleman]] and [[JagerMech]] have proper Anti-Air Targeting quirks, letting them dakka down aerial units (which include the [[:Category:LAM|LAMs]] in AirMech mode and anything using the Rotor component, such as the zeppelins). Yes, the *quirk* changed. To get this effect, you need to assemble a new Rifleman/JagerMech *or* store and re-ready your existing ones. Note that any existing RFL/JM6/7s that you have will NOT be automatically affected unless you store and re-ready them from storage. However, their old quirk still exists in the files so this is not a save breaking change. Note that their quirk is not identical: the JagerMech ignores 2 evasion on aerial units while the Rifleman has a flat +3 accuracy against them.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''NEW AFFINITIES:''' The [[Battle Armor]] squads now have a unique max-rank [[Pilot Affinities|affinity]] for their use (Squirrelly Bastard, makes them hard to hit). Additionally, the ronin [[Virago - Pilot|Virago]] has a unique affinity for BA, gained at rank 10, named Minimizer making her even *harder* to hit and that stacks with Squirrelly Bastard. You want to BA properly? Get Virago!
+
* 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
  
−
'''NEW HEROES:''' A new batch of heroes has been added, specifically the [[Bellerophon#BEL-BH|Bellerophon]], [[Bombard#BMB-TB|Bombard]], [[Bombardier#BMB-PRK|Bombardier]] (this guy is a bitch and a half), [[Brigand#LDT-AB|Brigand]], [[Hauptmann#HA1-JO|Hauptmann]], [[Hazard#HZD-TRC|Hazard]], [[Hellhound#HLH-TM|Hellhound]], [[Hyperion#HYP-K|Hyperion]], [[Ostscout#OTT-OP|Ostscout]], and [[Thunder Hawk#TDK-SPH|Thunder Hawk]].
+
'''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.
  
−
'''UPDATED FLASHPOINT:''' The third mission of the Campaign Flashpoint chain, the mission to liberate the Scheria on Axylus, now has a unique reward: a 55 ton Corsair variant, the [[Corsair (55T)|COR-3X]]. Have fun with your unique Corsair!
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v17.6 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
  
−
'''[[Community Content|COMMUNITY CONTENT]]:''' A bunch of new CC happened for this patch, including edits to the [[Dragon#DRG-FR|DRG-FR]] and [[Highlander#HGN-IB|HGN-IB]], added the [[Blackjack#BJ-1M|BJ-1M]] and its [[Weapons#Rotary Light Rifle|Rotary Light Rifle]], added the [[Surtur]] medium mech, added a non-crap [[Reconquista#RCQ-1C|Reconquista variant]], added a new *planet* to the far west side of the map named [[Mack's Dustball]] that has a great store for CC gear, added the [[Bushwacker#BSW-PF1|Bushwacker "Bard"]] and [[Thunderbolt#TDR-PF2|Thunderbolt "Skald"]], and added the [[Fafnir#FNR-6X|Fafnir-6X]] and [[Marauder#MAD-6W|Marauder-6W]] and their accompanying [[Gauss Capacitor]].
+
'''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.

−

+

== 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.

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.
