v15.3 (aka the "Man, Y'all Keep Busy, Huh" patch) has been released to the installer. This is moderately chunky so read on, friends, Marians, countrymen!
+
v18.0 (aka the "BattleTech Advanced Universe" patch) has been released to the installer. This patch is tremendously large and has a *lot* happening, please read these patch notes carefully.
  
−
'''UPDATED SUBSYTEM:''' In patch 15.2, BTA introduced the SPAM subsystem that added various mercenary companies in the place of Local Gov or Mercenaries (as the faction). This made the world feel more alive and complex and demonstrated that there were other mercs out and about in the setting. Now, with 15.3, SPAM has been expanded. Now, SPAM has also added subfactions to all the Great Houses, as well as several other major factions. Now, when you drop into a fight against, say, the Draconis Combine you will face one of their various House regiments (in this case, you can face either the 1st Sword of Light, the 3rd Night Stalkers, or the 2nd Legion of Vega). These subcommands have their own distinct unit lists as well as their own dialogue at the start of a mission letting you know who you're facing (all the dialogues are unique to the command in question). A full list of the individual subcommands is available on the wiki (here: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php?title=List_of_Major_Power_Subcommands_For_SPAM). Worth noting however is that all subcommands are roughly "rated" as either elite, regular, or garrison level forces. The better the rating, the better their tech (elites have the cutting edge, the regulars get a spread of stuff, the garrison guys get the crappy tech). All subcommands on the wiki have their rating listed. The "main" factions that have this treatment are as follows: all five Great Houses, ComStar, Word of Blake, Free Rasalhague Republic, Taurian Concordat, Outworlds Alliance, Magistracy of Canopus, Marian Hegemony.
+
'''IMPORTANT, READ THIS FIRST:''' BTA v18.0 is a save-breaking patch, your saves are incompatible. Additionally, you *must* download a new installer for this patch due to substantial back-end changes that took place for this patch's development. The installer can be found on the front page of the wiki, or at this specific link if you prefer: https://www.bta3062.com/files/BTAdvancedLauncher.php
  
−
'''NEW SPAM FACTIONS:''' In addition to the subcommands mentioned above, two new SPAM factions have been added. To the planet of Sarna comes the mercenary company Grim Determination. This unit has a long history and was betrayed by their employers and now hold the fort on Sarna against any attackers. They can also be found in missions against Local Gov or Mercenaries. Additionally, the Solaris VII Mercenary League has been added. This faction can be faced in missions against Local Gov or Mercenaries like most mercenary companies and has two notable features. First, they use the arena-intended designs such as the Juggernaut or the Prometheus in combat (those designs have been removed from all other spawn lists outside the arenas). Second, they actually make use of the unique named hero gladiator mechs in open combat, though those are rare to see on the field. This provides a second way to acquire heroes, so go for it.
+
'''ALSO SUPER IMPORTANT, READ THIS SECOND:''' BTA v18.0 requires a specific action from you during installation. *Before installing*, navigate to your Mods folder where BTA is installed (in the root directory of your HBS BATTLETECH installation) and manually clear the entire folder, just delete everything out of Mods, keep nothing. Once the folder is empty, proceed with your installation of BTA as normal. This is absolutely critical that you do so that you do not get messed up content.

'''BIG MECHBAY NEWS: ''' I'm pleased to announce that the Mech Bay is expanding! In the old days of BTA, we had other rows in the Mech Bay so you could store more mechs but they had to be removed due to serious stability and bug issues. It has long been asked to bring them back and today is the day. However, they work a little differently than they used to. Now, after you purchase the upgrade, Mech Bay 2 unlocks (it is accessed via a tab on the Mech Bay tab, just like the BA and Vehicle Bays). The odd thing though is that *before* you buy the upgrade, they're still visible they're just not usable. There are also a few oddities to how they work (you can't move mechs between bays, you can't choose what bay a mech goes in [mechs fill Mech Bay first then move to Mech Bay 2 only if Mech Bay is full], and mechs brought out of storage as 1 piece can only go to Mech Bay, not Mech Bay 2 [though assembling a mech from parts works fine with Mech Bay 2]). There is a YouTube video explaining all this in detail that has been posted to the FAQ to explain how Mech Bay 2 functions.
+
'''FINAL BIG IMPORTANT THING:''' This patch brings with it a major change to BTA, in that it is no longer called BattleTech Advanced 3062. Instead, the mod is now called BattleTech Advanced Universe, or BTAU. It will be referred to this going forward. This will be explained in depth elsewhere, likely a blog post on the wiki, if you're curious as to the intent behind the change.
  
−
'''NEW VOICEPACK:''' A friend of BTA and a personal friend of mine, FrostRaptor, is a big fan of Morrowind and of Heavy Gear. To celebrate his many, many, *many* contributions to the community, a modeler by the name of LtShade and myself collaborated on a surprise gift for him: a new mech named the Dagoth and a new pilot and voicepack themed after Dagoth Ur from Morrowind. This voicepack is now a part of BTA and available to all commanders if they wish to use it. It was AI generated out of necessity which I know is not to everyone's liking but if that bothers you simply do not use it. This also comes with a unique Dagoth Ur pilot, callsign Sharmat, who can join your crew via an event once you have a certain MRB reputation. He comes with his own mech, the Akulakhan (a unique variant of the Dagoth).
+
'''LESS IMPORTANT BUT STILL USEFUL NOTE:''' Because of the extreme level of changes that this BTAU patch presents, the wiki is unlikely to be updated anytime soon. Expect inconsistencies. We'll get the wiki updated as we can, we're working on automated tooling for it that will do much of the updating for us but that tooling is still being produced. Please be patient with us.
  
−
'''UPDATED FINANCES:''' BTA's economy has been a thorn in my side for awhile. The Argo has long been very cheap as have mechs while pilots have been unusually expensive to pay for in upkeep. This has been adjusted. Now, the Argo is more expensive by default and mechs are significantly more expensive to maintain (as they should be) while pilots are significantly cheaper. The very very early game may be slightly trickier to navigate but players can compensate by taking a little extra starting cash at first if they find it necessary so it should work out.
+
**Now, onto the patch notes proper!**
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Buccaneer, a 55 ton Word of Blake medium BattleMech with a hatchet, has sprinted into play. You can find it with all of the Word of Blake subcommands as well as the elite and regular-rated Marik subcommands.
+
'''NEW TIMELINE:''' BTAU's core conceit is that in BTAU, the timeline diverges from canon BattleTech's timeline starting during the Amaris Civil War. In BTAU's timeline, the Rim Worlds Republic never fell (though it was purged of House Amaris and their supporters). Additionally, House Cameron actually survived albeit in hiding in the Deep Periphery. ComStar set out to establish a new realm for the Cameron survivors and so in the late 3030s, the Terran Hegemony was reborn in the heart of the Inner Sphere. With the addition of the RWR and the Terran Hegemony, the balance of power in the Inner Sphere has shifted dramatically. Both the RWR and the TH are able to be allied, have their own shops, faction stores, and faction spawn lists. Additionally, BTAU now starts in 30*61*, not 3062, giving you a full year of gameplay and story events on the map before things like the Sanctuary Alliance invasion kick off. Finally, the timeline events have all been adjusted to account for the new factions and to give them things to do. There are new lore popups, new stories in the events, new characters to learn about, new wars to fight in, and more besides. Oh, and as a fun adjoinder, there's another new clan that comes to the Inner Sphere in 3061, Clan Fire Mandrill (and yes you can work for them and even ally with them).
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Nyx Prototype, a 30 ton super-fast Word of Blake scout design, has dashed into combat. This ultra-fast scout can be found exclusively with the Word of Blake elite subcommand, the 40th Shadow Division.
+
'''NEW MAP:''' To account for all this, the map has been changed dramatically. The Hegemony sits in the heart of the map, surrounded on all sides by foes. ComStar is their close ally and can be worked for on Hegemony worlds (and you can ally both of them on one playthrough without issue). The RWR holds its ancestral realm in the Coreward Periphery adjacent to the Lyran Commonwealth, though it has shrunk from the Star League days. Additionally, the Rim Collection and the Chainelane Isles no longer exist, instead having been incorporated into the RWR all along. Once Clan Fire Mandrill arrives, they will take up positions near the Lyran/Circinus border in a small cluster of worlds out that way. Oh, and now if there's a pirate presence on a planet there's a good chance there's pirate missions there. Also, Clan Diamond Shark is a different color now, to better stand out on the map. The Word of Blake now has a protectorate deep in Marik space centered on the world of Gibson.
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Jackrabbit, a 25 ton Amaris Civil War-era design, has arrived. Originally intended for the SLDF but co-opted by Amaris's forces, the Jackrabbit can now be found with the Rim Collection, ComStar and WoB's garrison-rated subcommands, and a rare variant with the WoB elite and regular subcommands.
+
'''NEW FACTIONS:''' Of course, the RWR and TH are both major players in galactic politics but they also come along with their own battery of mercenary units and military subcommands. Each of them have three subcommands, same as the other Great Houses and Periphery realms. They have their own OpFor affinities your pilots can specialize in and have a roster of unique tech and mechs for their use. Clan Fire Mandrill almost never appears as its own faction, instead using one of three kindraa (the subfactions the Clan is divided into) to fight the player. All three of these new factions engage in unique map events and wars with their neighbors throughout BTAU's time period and can be interacted with as you might expect from any other faction.  
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Dragoon, a 70 ton Amaris Empire design, has been put back into production. This incredible line combat design has been resurrected by the Rim Collection for their military after being discovered in a bunker in the Periphery.
+
'''MAJOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT:''' Thanks to a modder named 0x1d7, we have a new performance upgrade. This mod manually clears BATTLETECH's memory between missions, helping to keep memory load down. We should substantial performance improvements on most systems (not a guarantee, but nothing is).
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Malak, a 30 ton Word of Blake omnimech, has snuck into play. This is the final Word of Blake "Celestial" series omnimech and completes the series in BTA. It can be found exclusively with the Word of Blake elite subcommand, the 40th Shadow Division.
+
'''NEW BACKGROUNDS AND STARTER OPTIONS:''' The RWR and TH both have their own options in the commander background choices, including unique Ancestral Mech and This Man's Tank options. You can also start in their space with the Cameron and RWR start location options. Additionally, all faction-related starts also give you some positive reputation with that faction to represent that you're already friends with them, helping take the edge off the early grind a bit. Also, all starts (other than BA) have had Battle Armor and APCs removed from them (see next entry for details).
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Rampage, a 85 ton fast assault mech from the Amaris Empire, has stomped into play. It serves the Rim Collection with dignity after having been rediscovered in a Periphery depot.
+
'''EVENT CHANGES AND NEW EVENTS:''' Many events have been changed to account for the new factions and there is an entire year of new timeline events to enjoy. Additionally, there are a few new events such as an event in early 3061 that allows players to choose to opt-in to having BA/APCs (if you aren't interested, just say no and you'll never get them or need to deal with them). Wulf's storyline always kicks off in 3061, guaranteed, and the christmas events should all fire on the appropriate date (unless the game fires them early which happens sometimes :\ ).
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Great Turtle, a 100 ton gladiatorial quad mech that is officially indestructible, has slowly lumbered into the arenas. This mech can be found in the arenas, for sale on Solaris VII, and in service to the Solaris VII Mercenary League.
+
'''NEW FACTORIES:''' Because the RWR and TH changed the map heavily, they needed changed factories. The TH has all the factories of any world they now occupy but they produce different stuff now. The RWR has a number of new factories in their territory on Anywhere, Apollo, Kwangjong'ni, Winter, Wotan, and more besides. The Word of Blake Protectorate has several factories as well, on Gibson and Molokai. All factory worlds are properly marked and indicated, as you might expect.
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Dagoth, a 65 ton gladiatorial mech that is mentioned above, has arrived. It is available in the arenas, for sale on Solaris VII, and in service to the Solaris VII Mercenary League.
+
'''NEW MERCENARY FACTIONS:''' In addition to the RWR and TH's pet mercs (of which they each have 3-4 merc units), there is also a unique merc unit called Mack's Mercs that you might find running around the universe. If you do, watch out, they field a lot of Community Content units (only if you have CC installed of course). They might be fun to encounter, keep an eye out for them!
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Naginata, a 95 ton Kuritan force command mech, has rained missiles onto the battlefield. The Naginata is armed for ranged combat and to command a C3 lance with its C3 Master. It can be found exclusively with the Draconis Combine's elite and regular-rated regiments. You can also buy one on Quentin.
+
'''DEPLOYMENT SCREEN CHANGES:''' Lance 3 is now tank only instead of being BA only. With the advent of the new-ish BA bonus slots on carriers, Lance 3 needed to do something special so it now does tanks!
  
−
'''NEW MECH:''' The Stag/Stag II, a 45 ton mech from the Not-Named Clan, has blasted into combat. The Stag is a fast striker design and is available exclusively from the Dark Caste.
+
'''EQUIPMENT CHANGES:'''Lots of gear was adjusted in this patch, including: TAGs had range increased; LRM FCS was adjusted to be more competitive with ArtIV instead of just outclassing it; the Sanctuary Heat Controller and Negator were heavily buffed; the RWR's unique weapons were balance adjusted and had their fluff altered to represent that they're RWR and not Amaris weapons; CLPS/NSS cost more to install now; a lot of Sanctuary tech has been repriced to have more sane buy/sell costs; Ultra-Ferro was weakened somewhat (it provides CASE 1, not CASE 2, and takes slightly more space now); C3/C3i/Drone/Stealth Techs are all now incompatible. Can't be a CLPS + NSS + C3i mech anymore, sorry; stealth armor is now toggled on at start of missions; Leaguenet works properly now; cMortars look correct on models now; Protoype IJJs now explode properly and make much more heat than they used to on jumps; RLs were made more inaccurate; the RL Ammo Feed reduces damage even further; Howitzers can actually use FCS properly.
  
−
'''UPDATED MECHS:''' The three "Society" Clan Omnis, the Septicemia, the Osteon, and the Cephalus, have had full-scale production omnimechs produced for their respective Clans front-line forces. You can find the Septicemia with Jade Falcon, the Osteon with Ghost Bear, and the Cephalus with Wolf. The original "prototype" variants of these mechs have been restricted to second-line galaxies and all have some weirdness about them such as only partial omni hardpoints or gear that wasn't suitable for use on the main omnis.
+
'''PHYSICAL WEAPONS FIXED??:''' Hopefully, the physical weapon issue is fixed now. No guarantees but we think it might be licked once and for all.
  
−
'''UPDATED LAMS:''' LAMs now have been a little updated to be slightly more accurate to TT entries (kind of). They now have Landing Gear equipped (which gives a small speed boost but also further reduces stability during AirMech mode). To do this, they had their side torso engines reduced from 2 crits to 1 crit, making them slightly more durable. Enjoy.
+
BA CARRIER CHANGES:''' The Dakota and Unnsvin no longer have Firing Ports (i.e. BA can't shoot out the windows anymore). However, BA no longer slow down their carriers, meaning APCs are much more viable now (and APCs retained the firing ports). If you want to go fast with BA, you use the VTOLs. If you want to shoot as you go, you use the APCs.
  
−
'''NEW HEROES:''' The Blitzkrieg and Septicemia Design Contests have had their winning entries incorporated as gladiator mechs for the game world duels! Hurrah!
+
'''NEW VARIANTS:''' There's a scattering of new mech variants, including: about 20 new high-tech Terran Hegemony variants across classic chassis; a few new light industrials such as Dig Kings and Gulons; there's a new Hatamoto hero mech, the Samurai-Chi with some swords; a new Phoenix Hawk hero, the Roc; a new Archangel herom, the Broadsword, to go along with the Archangel's new model (see below);
  
−
'''UPDATED FLASHPOINT MISSION:''' Defense: Panzyr has long been the hardest mission in BTA (the one with the god damn APCs). To adjust this somewhat, the APCs have been downgraded to Prowlers and their pilots have been nerfed fairly significantly. Defense: Panzyr should be a little less punishing now.
+
'''NEW EQUIPMENT:''' The RWR and Hegemony introduced some new gear to the game, including the 'Death Ray', Atom Smasher/10, Mercy, and Shredder MG (all RWR guns, repurposed from the Amaris Fools event from April) and the HISC Hyper Laser, HISC Viral Jammer, and HISC Radical Heat Sink System (all Hegemony gear, brand new for this release).
  
−
'''NEW LATE-GAME EVENTS:''' Starting in late 3064 and running through 3066, we now have some pirate and pirate-adjacent factions that will raid nearby worlds as WartechIIC raids. This includes various SPAM pirate subfactions such as the Tortuga Fusilliers or the New Belt Pirates. This also includes the Circinians and the Tortuga Dominions. Have fun with some pirate funtimes! This feature was brought to you by a community member, Scholomancer, who volunteered his time to make them. All praise to Scholomancer!
+
'''ROYAL HIGHLANDER UPDATE:''' Due to ongoing issues with the design and heavy BTA team frustration with it, the Royal Highlander has been made completely unavailable through normal gameplay. It has been completely replaced in all reward lists, stores, contracts, etc. If we can find a way to fix its myriad issues, we'll bring it back, but for now, it has been removed as much as it could be.
  
−
'''UPDATED FACTION:''' ComStar has been very hard to acquire reputation with for awhile due to having a few too many enemies. This has been changed, now ComStar is no longer enemies with Houses Kurita and Davion, as well as the Magistracy of Canopus and the Taurian Concordat. Ally away!
+
'''MECHBAY VISUAL UPDATE:''' Now, if your mech is capable of carrying BA, there's a little icon on your mech's portrait to indicate that it can carry BA (much like how C3/C3i have little icons too).
  
−
'''BATTLE ARMOR BALANCE CHANGE:''' Battle armor weapons have received a significant nerf. BA has been killing things a little too easily and quickly so was nerfed. All BA missile launchers (except the Heavy SRM 4 on the Grenadier and the BA Rocket Launcher 1) now only have 1 shot as they are supposed to (they had two shots as a way to encourage their use but they ended up being super powerful and needed to be scaled back). Most BA weapons also received a significant damage nerf, including most of the missiles, most/all of the gauss-style weapons, and a variety of other weapons such as the Clan lasers and the BA LBX.
+
'''UNIT TAGGING CHANGES:''' A number of units had their faction tagging change to accomodate for the new factions. Examples (this list is not exhaustive) include the Sidewinder becoming a Clan general unit instead of Jade Falcon exclusive and the advanced-tech Mackies becoming unique to the Terran Hegemony (and sometimes ComStar). If you see a mech crop up somewhere unexpected or pointedly *don't* see something you're used to, this is probably what happened.
  
−
'''OMNIMECH CORRECTION:''' OmniMechs can no longer mount MASC or TSM unless they come with it by default. This is tabletop accurate and should have been done literally years ago. There are several OmniMechs (mostly Clan though there's one IS omni in this group) with either MASC or TSM equipped by default. These OmniMechs retain the systems and work as intended. This may not be super popular but it *is* the way Omnis are intended to behave. And before you complain that Omnis are being unfairly nerfed, I *am* monitoring the situation and considering possible adjustments if necessary to buff up Omnis a little.
+
'''IMPORTANT REMOVALS:''' BA Handholds were removed. They allowed anything to carry BA which was arguably too powerful, this should make Omnis more valuable now. The Emperor Crab was removed, it was a relic of a much, much older time in BTA's history and didn't serve much purpose anymore.
  
−
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' there is a unique shop on Wynn's Roost (it has a selection of Battle Armor as well as every King Crab and UrbanMech normally available); there's a new Marauder II Omni with a LBX-Rotary AC/5; the Matar SAM-3G has been added, a Matar that uses St. Ives 3G technology;
+
'''THIRD SET OF MECH BAYS:''' We added a new upgrade that added a third set of Mech Bays for you. Lots of new mechs this patch, gotta have a place to put them all! <3
  
−
* Retractable Blades got a buff, now they have an extra attack when used. This stacks with Juggernaut's extra attack bonus.
+
'''MAJOR MECH CHANGES:''' Inner Sphere OmniMechs now have fixed armor and heat sink types in all cases. This was an inconsistency that needed to be addressed and though it harms more of the omnis than it really helps, it is good to fix inconsistent behaviors. Also, a ton of chassis gained support hardpoints as we've been doing for awhile now, should be most of what's left.
−
* A *lot* of Clan and Flashpoint-specific Report Me's have been fixed.
 
−
* We fixed the Quad 360 twist bug, now all Quads can properly 360 twist.
 
−
* Fixed a shit-ton of back-end bugs and updated a lot of dlls.
 
−
* The Crabrauder and Shorty's Rifleman can both be encountered, rarely, in the forces of the Circinus Federation and the Snord's Irregulars respectively. Neither can be salvaged, this is mostly a flavor win.
 
−
* You can no longer put a BA Handhold onto a Battle Armor squad.
 
−
* There's a number of mechs that had missing affinities, these have been corrected.
 
−
* Fixed the VIP's special safety ability in the VIP missions. Now it properly lasts a full turn cycle.
 
−
* B-Pods are now mountable in any location.
 
−
* The Sturdy Affinity should now work.
 
−
* X-Pulse Lasers have been buffed with a heat reduction. Their heat was way too high and has been brought down to manageable levels.
 
−
* LRM ArtemisIV ammo has been mildly nerfed with the removal of its general accuracy bonus, instead only having the direct-fire accuracy bonus.
 
−
* Tandem SRM should *finally* be fixed.
 
−
* There's a new Wasp LAM, the WSP-100. This one comes with bomb bays!
 
−
* There's also a new Champion, the CHP C, a Clantech Champion refit. This one can be found with the Clan second-line forces.
 
−
* Fixed some weird behavior in a few Blackout contracts involving the player's Commander.
 
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' v15.3 is an "update" update. In this case, clear your Mods folder manually and then run the installer, it'll do the work for you.
+
''''''NEW MECH:'''''' The Bowman, a Clan artillery mech, has arrived. It can be found with all the clans in their second-line forces.
  
−

+

−
'''REMINDER:''' This update, and others like it, are made possible by my Patreon 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 here: https://www.patreon.com/bloodydoves
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Sling, a Star League-era 25 ton dedicated LRM mech, has come to battle. This SLDF mech is fielded by ComStar, the Word of Blake, the Terran Hegemony, and the Clan second-line forces. It is also a part of the Blakist starter list, if you want one early.
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Shogun, an 85-ton SLDF fire support design, has jumped into combat. This old SLDF design is quite rare but is fielded by the Blakist factions, the Terran Hegemony, and the second-line Clan designs (as well as the Wolf's Dragoons).
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Striker, an 80 ton SLDF combat brick, has lumbered into play. This tanky boi can be found with the Capellans, Steiners, and Camerons and also bought in the store at Quentin or in the Cameron faction store.
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Prince Crab, a 75 ton non-canon Crab family design, has scuttled into view.

It can also be bought at Terra or in the Cameron faction store.
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Kyudo, an Age of War and Star League 45 ton fire support design, has come to the show. This mech can be found with the Davions, Mariks, Camerons, ComStar, and in the factory at Emris.

 +
 
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Coehorn, a 75 ton Sanctuary heavy support design, has shelled the field. The Coehorn, named for a classic artillery weapon of yesteryear, can be found in all four Sanctuary arsenals and can be bought from the Jacobson Haven faction store.
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Jinggau, a 65 ton Capellan heavy cavalry mech, has arrived on the field of honor. This sleek looking mech can be found fielded by House Liao, as well as the Canopians and Taurians. It is also for sale at Victoria.
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Scorpion LAM (you read that correctly), a 55 ton QuadLAM, has hovered into combat. Yes, it's goofy. Yes, it's kind of bad. No, I don't care, I love it so much. You can get one from a new factory world at Tongatapu.
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MECH:''' The Mackie II, a 105-ton Terran Hegemony behemoth, has stomped the enemies flat. You can get it from, shocker, the Terran Hegemony. You can also buy it from their faction store, if you're so inclined. This Mackie II has a unique model, distinct from the other two Mackie models.
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MODEL:''' About half the Mackie variants (all the "modern" ones) now use a new Mackie model made by our very own Shade. Looks great, buddy!
 +
 
 +
'''NEW MODEL:''' The Wasp LAM and Stinger LAM had their AirMech mode models change dramatically. They look much nicer now!
 +
 
 +

Latest revision as of 17:45, 30 August 2024

v18.0 (aka the "BattleTech Advanced Universe" patch) has been released to the installer. This patch is tremendously large and has a *lot* happening, please read these patch notes carefully.

IMPORTANT, READ THIS FIRST: BTA v18.0 is a save-breaking patch, your saves are incompatible. Additionally, you *must* download a new installer for this patch due to substantial back-end changes that took place for this patch's development. The installer can be found on the front page of the wiki, or at this specific link if you prefer: https://www.bta3062.com/files/BTAdvancedLauncher.php

ALSO SUPER IMPORTANT, READ THIS SECOND: BTA v18.0 requires a specific action from you during installation. *Before installing*, navigate to your Mods folder where BTA is installed (in the root directory of your HBS BATTLETECH installation) and manually clear the entire folder, just delete everything out of Mods, keep nothing. Once the folder is empty, proceed with your installation of BTA as normal. This is absolutely critical that you do so that you do not get messed up content.

FINAL BIG IMPORTANT THING: This patch brings with it a major change to BTA, in that it is no longer called BattleTech Advanced 3062. Instead, the mod is now called BattleTech Advanced Universe, or BTAU. It will be referred to this going forward. This will be explained in depth elsewhere, likely a blog post on the wiki, if you're curious as to the intent behind the change.

LESS IMPORTANT BUT STILL USEFUL NOTE: Because of the extreme level of changes that this BTAU patch presents, the wiki is unlikely to be updated anytime soon. Expect inconsistencies. We'll get the wiki updated as we can, we're working on automated tooling for it that will do much of the updating for us but that tooling is still being produced. Please be patient with us.

    • Now, onto the patch notes proper!**

NEW TIMELINE: BTAU's core conceit is that in BTAU, the timeline diverges from canon BattleTech's timeline starting during the Amaris Civil War. In BTAU's timeline, the Rim Worlds Republic never fell (though it was purged of House Amaris and their supporters). Additionally, House Cameron actually survived albeit in hiding in the Deep Periphery. ComStar set out to establish a new realm for the Cameron survivors and so in the late 3030s, the Terran Hegemony was reborn in the heart of the Inner Sphere. With the addition of the RWR and the Terran Hegemony, the balance of power in the Inner Sphere has shifted dramatically. Both the RWR and the TH are able to be allied, have their own shops, faction stores, and faction spawn lists. Additionally, BTAU now starts in 30*61*, not 3062, giving you a full year of gameplay and story events on the map before things like the Sanctuary Alliance invasion kick off. Finally, the timeline events have all been adjusted to account for the new factions and to give them things to do. There are new lore popups, new stories in the events, new characters to learn about, new wars to fight in, and more besides. Oh, and as a fun adjoinder, there's another new clan that comes to the Inner Sphere in 3061, Clan Fire Mandrill (and yes you can work for them and even ally with them).

NEW MAP: To account for all this, the map has been changed dramatically. The Hegemony sits in the heart of the map, surrounded on all sides by foes. ComStar is their close ally and can be worked for on Hegemony worlds (and you can ally both of them on one playthrough without issue). The RWR holds its ancestral realm in the Coreward Periphery adjacent to the Lyran Commonwealth, though it has shrunk from the Star League days. Additionally, the Rim Collection and the Chainelane Isles no longer exist, instead having been incorporated into the RWR all along. Once Clan Fire Mandrill arrives, they will take up positions near the Lyran/Circinus border in a small cluster of worlds out that way. Oh, and now if there's a pirate presence on a planet there's a good chance there's pirate missions there. Also, Clan Diamond Shark is a different color now, to better stand out on the map. The Word of Blake now has a protectorate deep in Marik space centered on the world of Gibson.

NEW FACTIONS: Of course, the RWR and TH are both major players in galactic politics but they also come along with their own battery of mercenary units and military subcommands. Each of them have three subcommands, same as the other Great Houses and Periphery realms. They have their own OpFor affinities your pilots can specialize in and have a roster of unique tech and mechs for their use. Clan Fire Mandrill almost never appears as its own faction, instead using one of three kindraa (the subfactions the Clan is divided into) to fight the player. All three of these new factions engage in unique map events and wars with their neighbors throughout BTAU's time period and can be interacted with as you might expect from any other faction.

MAJOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: Thanks to a modder named 0x1d7, we have a new performance upgrade. This mod manually clears BATTLETECH's memory between missions, helping to keep memory load down. We should substantial performance improvements on most systems (not a guarantee, but nothing is).

NEW BACKGROUNDS AND STARTER OPTIONS: The RWR and TH both have their own options in the commander background choices, including unique Ancestral Mech and This Man's Tank options. You can also start in their space with the Cameron and RWR start location options. Additionally, all faction-related starts also give you some positive reputation with that faction to represent that you're already friends with them, helping take the edge off the early grind a bit. Also, all starts (other than BA) have had Battle Armor and APCs removed from them (see next entry for details).

EVENT CHANGES AND NEW EVENTS: Many events have been changed to account for the new factions and there is an entire year of new timeline events to enjoy. Additionally, there are a few new events such as an event in early 3061 that allows players to choose to opt-in to having BA/APCs (if you aren't interested, just say no and you'll never get them or need to deal with them). Wulf's storyline always kicks off in 3061, guaranteed, and the christmas events should all fire on the appropriate date (unless the game fires them early which happens sometimes :\ ).

NEW FACTORIES: Because the RWR and TH changed the map heavily, they needed changed factories. The TH has all the factories of any world they now occupy but they produce different stuff now. The RWR has a number of new factories in their territory on Anywhere, Apollo, Kwangjong'ni, Winter, Wotan, and more besides. The Word of Blake Protectorate has several factories as well, on Gibson and Molokai. All factory worlds are properly marked and indicated, as you might expect.

NEW MERCENARY FACTIONS: In addition to the RWR and TH's pet mercs (of which they each have 3-4 merc units), there is also a unique merc unit called Mack's Mercs that you might find running around the universe. If you do, watch out, they field a lot of Community Content units (only if you have CC installed of course). They might be fun to encounter, keep an eye out for them!

DEPLOYMENT SCREEN CHANGES: Lance 3 is now tank only instead of being BA only. With the advent of the new-ish BA bonus slots on carriers, Lance 3 needed to do something special so it now does tanks!

EQUIPMENT CHANGES:Lots of gear was adjusted in this patch, including: TAGs had range increased; LRM FCS was adjusted to be more competitive with ArtIV instead of just outclassing it; the Sanctuary Heat Controller and Negator were heavily buffed; the RWR's unique weapons were balance adjusted and had their fluff altered to represent that they're RWR and not Amaris weapons; CLPS/NSS cost more to install now; a lot of Sanctuary tech has been repriced to have more sane buy/sell costs; Ultra-Ferro was weakened somewhat (it provides CASE 1, not CASE 2, and takes slightly more space now); C3/C3i/Drone/Stealth Techs are all now incompatible. Can't be a CLPS + NSS + C3i mech anymore, sorry; stealth armor is now toggled on at start of missions; Leaguenet works properly now; cMortars look correct on models now; Protoype IJJs now explode properly and make much more heat than they used to on jumps; RLs were made more inaccurate; the RL Ammo Feed reduces damage even further; Howitzers can actually use FCS properly.

PHYSICAL WEAPONS FIXED??: Hopefully, the physical weapon issue is fixed now. No guarantees but we think it might be licked once and for all.

BA CARRIER CHANGES: The Dakota and Unnsvin no longer have Firing Ports (i.e. BA can't shoot out the windows anymore). However, BA no longer slow down their carriers, meaning APCs are much more viable now (and APCs retained the firing ports). If you want to go fast with BA, you use the VTOLs. If you want to shoot as you go, you use the APCs.

NEW VARIANTS: There's a scattering of new mech variants, including: about 20 new high-tech Terran Hegemony variants across classic chassis; a few new light industrials such as Dig Kings and Gulons; there's a new Hatamoto hero mech, the Samurai-Chi with some swords; a new Phoenix Hawk hero, the Roc; a new Archangel herom, the Broadsword, to go along with the Archangel's new model (see below);

NEW EQUIPMENT: The RWR and Hegemony introduced some new gear to the game, including the 'Death Ray', Atom Smasher/10, Mercy, and Shredder MG (all RWR guns, repurposed from the Amaris Fools event from April) and the HISC Hyper Laser, HISC Viral Jammer, and HISC Radical Heat Sink System (all Hegemony gear, brand new for this release).

ROYAL HIGHLANDER UPDATE: Due to ongoing issues with the design and heavy BTA team frustration with it, the Royal Highlander has been made completely unavailable through normal gameplay. It has been completely replaced in all reward lists, stores, contracts, etc. If we can find a way to fix its myriad issues, we'll bring it back, but for now, it has been removed as much as it could be.

MECHBAY VISUAL UPDATE: Now, if your mech is capable of carrying BA, there's a little icon on your mech's portrait to indicate that it can carry BA (much like how C3/C3i have little icons too).

UNIT TAGGING CHANGES: A number of units had their faction tagging change to accomodate for the new factions. Examples (this list is not exhaustive) include the Sidewinder becoming a Clan general unit instead of Jade Falcon exclusive and the advanced-tech Mackies becoming unique to the Terran Hegemony (and sometimes ComStar). If you see a mech crop up somewhere unexpected or pointedly *don't* see something you're used to, this is probably what happened.

IMPORTANT REMOVALS: BA Handholds were removed. They allowed anything to carry BA which was arguably too powerful, this should make Omnis more valuable now. The Emperor Crab was removed, it was a relic of a much, much older time in BTA's history and didn't serve much purpose anymore.

THIRD SET OF MECH BAYS: We added a new upgrade that added a third set of Mech Bays for you. Lots of new mechs this patch, gotta have a place to put them all! <3

MAJOR MECH CHANGES: Inner Sphere OmniMechs now have fixed armor and heat sink types in all cases. This was an inconsistency that needed to be addressed and though it harms more of the omnis than it really helps, it is good to fix inconsistent behaviors. Also, a ton of chassis gained support hardpoints as we've been doing for awhile now, should be most of what's left.

'NEW MECH:' The Bowman, a Clan artillery mech, has arrived. It can be found with all the clans in their second-line forces.

NEW MECH: The Duan Gung, a Capellan 25 ton support design, has arrived. The Capellans, Taurians, and Canopians all field it but you can also find it in the Liao starter list if you want to use one.

NEW MECH: The Sling, a Star League-era 25 ton dedicated LRM mech, has come to battle. This SLDF mech is fielded by ComStar, the Word of Blake, the Terran Hegemony, and the Clan second-line forces. It is also a part of the Blakist starter list, if you want one early.

NEW MECH: The Shogun, an 85-ton SLDF fire support design, has jumped into combat. This old SLDF design is quite rare but is fielded by the Blakist factions, the Terran Hegemony, and the second-line Clan designs (as well as the Wolf's Dragoons).

NEW MECH: The Striker, an 80 ton SLDF combat brick, has lumbered into play. This tanky boi can be found with the Capellans, Steiners, and Camerons and also bought in the store at Quentin or in the Cameron faction store.

NEW MECH: The Prince Crab, a 75 ton non-canon Crab family design, has scuttled into view. This heavy-weight Crab family member comes with widely varied loadouts and can be found in the hands of the Terran Hegemony and occasionally ComStar. It can also be bought at Terra or in the Cameron faction store.

NEW MECH: The Kyudo, an Age of War and Star League 45 ton fire support design, has come to the show. This mech can be found with the Davions, Mariks, Camerons, ComStar, and in the factory at Emris.

NEW MECH: The Lament, a 65 ton heavy cavalry design, has combat slid into the conflict. This design can be found exclusively with House Cameron and the Terran Hegemony and serves as one of their premier heavy cavalry designs.

NEW MECH: The Knight, a 65 ton Sanctuary twist on the Crusader, has bounded into battle. This design can be acquired from the Sanctuary powers (all four field it) and can be bought in the Mallard Republic faction store.

NEW MECH: The Coehorn, a 75 ton Sanctuary heavy support design, has shelled the field. The Coehorn, named for a classic artillery weapon of yesteryear, can be found in all four Sanctuary arsenals and can be bought from the Jacobson Haven faction store.

NEW MECH: The Jinggau, a 65 ton Capellan heavy cavalry mech, has arrived on the field of honor. This sleek looking mech can be found fielded by House Liao, as well as the Canopians and Taurians. It is also for sale at Victoria.

NEW MECH: The Scorpion LAM (you read that correctly), a 55 ton QuadLAM, has hovered into combat. Yes, it's goofy. Yes, it's kind of bad. No, I don't care, I love it so much. You can get one from a new factory world at Tongatapu.

NEW MECH: The Mackie II, a 105-ton Terran Hegemony behemoth, has stomped the enemies flat. You can get it from, shocker, the Terran Hegemony. You can also buy it from their faction store, if you're so inclined. This Mackie II has a unique model, distinct from the other two Mackie models.

NEW MODEL: About half the Mackie variants (all the "modern" ones) now use a new Mackie model made by our very own Shade. Looks great, buddy!

NEW MODEL: The Wasp LAM and Stinger LAM had their AirMech mode models change dramatically. They look much nicer now!

NEW MODEL: The BattleMaster, on some variants (those with production dates before the 3040s/3050s), now use a new model designed after the classic BattleMaster look from TRO 3025, colloquially called the Bigfoot model.

NEW MODEL: The Warhammer, on some variants (those with production dates before the 3040s/3050s), now use a new model designed after the classic Warhammer look from TRO 3025, colloquially called the Tomahawk model.

NEW MODEL: The BattleHammer from Community Content uses a combination model that combines the above two into one design (BattleMaster body and legs, Warhammer arms).

COMMUNITY CONTENT: Lots of stuff, including a new Hyperion, a new King Crab (SnibSnab II), a new pilot (Firebird), a Koschei with the Heavy Plasma Rifle, a new pilot (Anomaly), a new Banshee, a new Warhammer and Sorcerer, a new weapon (the Rotary HVAC/2) for sale at Mack's Dustball, the shop list at Port Rime shifted a little.

  • Fixed the M-Pod.
  • Updated Clan Nova Cat faction store with slightly better stuff.
  • Fixed Huntsman armor values
  • Fixed SubCapital Laser/3 cooldown on the Rattler.
  • Sirocco Auroch has the hero quirk, whoops!
  • The Hammerhands Maul has been changed the Mallet, to avoid a naming issue with the Warhammer IIC Maul.
  • Prosthetic event description has been updated for clarity.
  • Fast Fire was buffed.
  • All Autocannon ammo boxes have had their quantities standardized as per community request.
  • Narc (both IS and Clan) had their descriptions lightly updated.
  • The Gyrojet Ammo Feed is now actually available in stores.
  • The Goblin Medium Tank is now playable, I guess.
  • The Raven on the Blackbeard had a description update
  • A few weapons had their called prefabs swap (LB-10X, UAC/5).
  • Osiris OSR-4C was swapped to the OSR-5C to avoid a naming conflict with an Ostroc variant.
  • Several abilities had descriptions updated for clarity
  • Fixed the MVSPL's medium range mode.
  • Hell of a Deal now gives a mech guaranteed on the good result but the mechs are all 20-25 tons. Enjoy.
  • Sturmfeur is a little faster.
  • There are a ton of new company emblems to choose from, hurrah!

IMPORTANT: v18.0 is a major update, requiring a bit more work to update to. *MANUALLY CLEAR YOUR MODS FOLDER BEFORE INSTALLATION* and be sure you have the appropriate BTA Installer downloaded (v1.2.3-20240818). See instructions above for more details.

IMPORTANT: v18.0 **is** a save breaking update, your saves are not compatible and cannot be used with v18.0, you will need to start a new career.
