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!
  
v10.0 (aka the "Motha-Fuggin' Tanks" release) has been released to the installer. This is a major major update, read on to see why:
+
'''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.
  
'''**HOLY SHIT THIS IS IMPORTANT READ THE HELL OUT OF THIS:**''' v10.0 is a '''<u>SAVE BREAKING UPDATE</u>'''. Your old saves are '''*not*''' compatible and you '''*will*''' need to restart your career. This was a necessity for a number of reasons, sorry, but this was the best time to do 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).
  
'''**THIS IS IMPORTANT IIC:**''' v10.0 '''*hard requires*''' a new installer. We have updated the installer on the [https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/452 Nexus], you MUST get it to get v10.0. This was done to repair a critical issue that we discovered in the installer. Since we are save-breaking this update anyway, this was the best time to force an installer update.
+
'''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 FUNCTIONALITY:''' Playable Tanks have rumbled onto the field of battle! Tanks can now be purchased from shops, as well as salvaged from the battlefield. Note that only *some* tanks are available for purchase and to be salvaged, not all tanks, so you can't get everything, just a select curated list we've put together. All five Great Houses, [[ComStar]], and the four major Periphery states ([[Taurian Concordat|Taurians]], [[Magistracy of Canopus|Canopians]], [[Outworlds Alliance|Outworlds]], [[Marian Hegemony|Marians]]) will sell you their unique tank lists. Additionally, there are general Inner Sphere and Periphery tank lists in stores. Tanks have a few oddnesses, please see the FAQ post about playable tanks for details. Tanks *do* count against your overall drop tonnage, so keep that in mind.
+
'''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 FUNCTIONALITY:''' Tanks have been a source of consternation for a lot of players. The main complaint was that stripping evasion from tanks was difficult. Well, that's fixed now. If you use melee against tanks, specifically a kick, it will strip 2 evasion off of them. Yet another reason to give 'em the boot.
+
'''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.
  
'''UPDATED FUNCTIONALITY:''' Consecutive bleedout injuries now stack together instead of running in parallel like they used to. If you have a bleedout injury and you suffer another one, it multiplies your current timer by 0.75 and that's your new bleedout timer. This *can* put you to 0 rounds, eject or die, so keep an eye on it.
+
'''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.
  
'''NEW FACTION (kinda):''' [[St. Ives Compact|St. Ives]] now starts as a faction on the map to begin with. They will be invaded by the [[Capellan Confederation|Capellans]] fairly quickly after your career starts, so if you want to make friends, you better do it quick. They also won't be around forever and will cease to exist as a faction eventually, so make friends fast! They also can be allied with as originally intended all along, whoops!
+
'''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 MECH:''' The [[Falcon]], an old SLDF 30 ton light bug-hunting mech, has arrived in a flash. You can find it with [[ComStar]] and the [[Factions#Clans|Clans]], as well as mercenaries and rarely the Kuritans.
+
* 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 MODEL:''' The [[Bane]] has received a very nice updated model. It's lookin' real sharp!
+
'''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.
  
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' A number of new mechs and pilots have been added into the [[Community Content]] option. Included are a [[Roughneck#RGH-GB|Roughneck]], [[Enfield#END-6Z|Enfield]], [[BattleMaster#BLR-GSD|BattleMaster]], [[Stormcrow#SCR-K|Stormcrow]], and two new pilots ([[Kotare - Pilot|Kotare]] and [[Mad Dawg - Pilot|Mad Dawg]]). Go check 'em out!
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v17.6 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
  
'''WIKI UPDATE:''' We now have active [[Gear]] pages, meaning pretty much everything you can put on a mech now has its own page on the wiki for your education. Read away!
+
'''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)
  
* The Operation Bullcat Aurigan Invasion April Fools event has been removed.
+
'''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.  
* Local government planets on the starmap are now a white color, instead of that nearly invisible dark red.
 
* Resized some mechs, including several [[Thug|Thugs]] and the [[Icarus II]].
 
* The [[Marauder#MAD-5X|Marauder MAD-5X]] is now going to be a little less common, it was appearing way too much.
 
* Players are now immediately allied with the "Self-Employed" faction, meaning you get as good salvage as possible on those Darius missions.
 
* The [[Fafnir II]] and the [[Mad Cat MK II - 85T|Mad Cat Mk II - 85]] both actually have affinities now.
 
* The campaign flashpoint mission Treasure Trove, the escape from the SLDF Castle, has been updated. Player mechs are slightly improved, Taurians have been toned down.
 
* The campaign flashpoint Atlas has been swapped for an [[Atlas#AS7-D-H|Atlas II]], should be better.
 
* Sprinter now works with combat vehicles of all kinds.
 
* The AI has been slightly updated again, should be slightly smarter.
 
* A large number of bonus descriptions have been updated for clarity.
 
* Now if you lose your Center Torso you are more likely to take pilot injuries, that was broken before and has been fixed.
 
* [[Ammunition#Mech_Grenade_Launcher|Grenade Launcher Inferno ammo]] has been toned down a bit.
 
* [[WarTech IIC]] should now better respect contract requirements, so no more getting stuck in a flareup contract you can't actually do.
 
* The [[Weapons#Light_Autocannons|LAC2]] and [[Weapons#Light_Autocannons|LAC5]] have received more heat generated and a slight damage reduction.
 
* A number of new mech variants have been added, the [[Vindicator#VND-1SIC|Vindicator VND-1SIC]], [[Commando#COM-1AK|Commando COM-1AK]], and four primitive Phoenix variants ([[Phoenix#PK-1KC|PK-1KC]], [[Phoenix#PK-1KL|PK-1KL]], [[Phoenix#PK-1KR|PK-1KR]], [[Phoenix#PK-1KT|PK-1KT]]).
 
* Some core dlls updated.  
 
  
  
'''IMPORTANT:''' v10.0 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.
+
== 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.
  
'''IMPORTANT:''' You can see v10.0's patch notes, as well as any BTA patch notes, on our wiki on this page: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php/Patch_Notes

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.
