==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!
−
v9.0 (aka the "The Dream is Real!" release) has been released to the installer. What a patch this is, let's go:
 
  
−
'''NEW FUNCTIONALITY:''' HOLY SHIT IT'S [[Full List of Mechs#Quad Mechs|QUAD MECHS]]. Four-legged mechs, called quad mechs in BT, have come to BTA. There are two at present, the [[Goliath]] and the [[Barghest]], both detailed slightly below. Quads have bonus movement speed, the two we currently have possess 360 vision thanks to their turrets, and benefit more heavily from some new functionality described below (line of sight obstruction). Quads are also very stable and have massively increased stability thresholds (four legs good, two legs bad). Go check 'em out!
+
'''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:''' Waypointing has come to HBS BT. Now, as long as you are walking (not sprinting), you can hold left shift and click to make waypoint movement within your walk range. This lets you walk around fire and mines pretty effectively, give it a try!
+
'''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 FUNCTIONALITY (not really):''' Specializations can be reset for a given pilot by control-clicking the "Service Record" tab in the barracks; requires Argo Training Module 2. This has been in BTA for a patch or two but we forgot to document 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 FUNCTIONALITY (kind of):''' The heat scale has been modified. Now, ammo explosions are MUCH harder to cause and system failures are much easier to cause. This should help curb the mechs randomly exploding a little. Still won't be a perfect fix but it should help somewhat.
+
'''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 FUNCTIONALITY:''' Obstructed line of sight now has a larger and more relevant penalty: when shooting at a target via obstructed sight lines, they will take reduced damage to certain body parts (the obstruction is blocking some of the fire). Specifically, against tanks you will deal 50% less damage to every location but the turret. Against normal bipedal mechs you will deal 50% less damage to the legs. Against quad mechs you will deal 75% less damage to all four legs. Now, you need to really pay attention to your line of sight and try to get those clear shots. However, do be aware that it works in reverse too: you will take less damage from obstructed shots the AI takes.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''FIXED FUNCTIONALITY:''' Sensor/sight range boosts were not working properly. They do now. Enjoy seeing things proper-like!
+
'''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 MECH:''' The [[Goliath]], an 80 ton quad mech. The Goliath straddles the eras and factions can be found fairly widely across the [[Factions#Inner Sphere|Inner Sphere]] in small numbers. Also it's sweet looking.
+
'''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 MECH:''' The [[Barghest]], a 70 ton quad mech with BIG BOLD BALLISTICS. The Barghest is close to a [[Lyran Commonwealth|Steiner]] exclusive, so go fight them for 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.
  
−
*There's a big batch of new [[Pilots|pilots]] to represent the Wiki Team as thanks for their hard work. Go find 'em!
+
'''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_Delphi_Compact|New Delphi]] faction store is fixed.
 
−
*Fixed a number of Report Me errors.
 
−
*The Clan positive [[Mech Quirks|quirk]] got nerfed a little (less accurate, less heat sunk).
 
−
*Mortar Flare AoE radius was reduced heavily.
 
−
*Carrier names were clarified and should, hopefully, be a little clearer now.
 
−
*A large number of [[Turrets|turrets]] were updated and fixed.
 
−
*ECM no longer stacks, as was intended.

 +
* 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 v1.3 - 2019/6/26]]
+
== 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.
