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!
  
−
v11.2 (aka the "Heat And Planes" release) has been released to the installer. This patch is largely a feature and bug-fixing patch so let's list it 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 TANK:''' [[Draconis Combine|House Kurita]] has decided to end the debate as to what is the best artillery vehicle and has fielded the [[Teppo|Teppo Artillery Support Vehicle]]. Devastate the OpFor. Buy one from House Kurita's [[Faction Stores|faction store]] today!
+
'''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 TANK:''' The [[Marian Hegemony]], in order to honor its benevolent rulers in House O'Reilly, has introduced the [[Testudo]] tank, bringing tactical fire support to the battlefield in damn fine style. They might even sell one to you in their faction store, if you ask nicely.
+
'''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 MECHANIC:''' Strafing Runs have come to BTA. Now, using the [[Strafing Run Comm Suite]], you can have mechs direct aerospace fighter strafing runs against your enemies. These work a little like the [[Airdrop Beacons|unit calldown beacons]]: the Strafing Run Comm Suite gives the carrying mech an ability to call a strafing run. When you select the strafing run, you designate a location then drag the cursor to draw the strafing direction. Two iniative phases after you start the strafe, the ASF will fly past and blast targets in the strafing run area. Also like the calldown beacons, you can designate various kinds of ASFs for a strafe by finding and buying ASF contracts (different ASFs carry different weapons) and then by holding shift when selecting the strafe start location, just like a beacon calldown. For a fuller description of how strafing runs work, please see the [[Frequently Asked Questions|FAQ]].  
+
'''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 MECHANIC:''' Heat damage has been reduced in effectiveness. Now, mechs have a scaling heat defense based on tonnage. The larger the tonnage, the less effective heat damage is against them. At 20 tons, heat is 5% less effective. At 100 tons, it is 25% less effective (it caps at 25% less effective, so the superheavies are not totally heat-proof). This defense applies only to mechs and works by reducing incoming heat damage by the amount indicated. If you want to calculate any given unit's "heat defense", you can find the percentage by multiplying the mech's tonnage by 0.0025 (example: An [[Emperor]], which is 90 tons, has a heat defense of 22.5%. 90 x 0.0025 is 0.225, or 22.5%). We changed this because heat strategies were overwhelmingly powerful but we didn't want to nerf them into oblivion because we as a team know that many folks really enjoy heat strategies. This will make heat a little less powerful but keeps it viable as a combat tactic.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''UPDATED MECHANIC:''' [[Weapons#Artillery|Artillery weapons]], specifically the Thumper, Sniper, Long Tom, [[Weapons#Missile_Artillery|Arrow IV, and Cruise Missile/50]], now have expanded scatter ranges. No longer can you safely target an enemy you're near to and trust that it'll all be fine. It won't all be fine. Use arty like the gods of war intended: from an extreme distance and not near your own guys.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' There's a bunch of new [[Community Content|CC]] with this patch: the [[Corsair#COR-MKD|Corsair]]/[[Victor#VTR-MKD|Victor]]/[[Toyama#TYM-MKD|Toyama]]/[[Mackie#MSK-MKD|Mackie-MKD]] (including the new [[Weapons#Magnetic Harpoon|Magnetic Harpoon]] weapon and [[Ammunition#Mortar|Glue Mortar ammunition]]), the [[Von Rohrs#VON-4RH-LAM|Von Rohrs LAM]], the [[Highlander#HGN-IB|Highlander-IB]].
+
'''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 BTA Live-Fire Exercises now have half the OpFor. Less Danger [[UrbanMech|Urbies]]!
+
'''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.
−
* Airburst Mortar ammunition behaves differently now, exploding into a spread of pellets that saturate the target to look for crits.
 
−
* [[Full_List_of_Vehicles#Assault_Vehicles|Assault-class tanks]] only spawn in shops if you're friendly with that system's owner, so no getting [[Puma|Royal Pumas]] just because you smiled at the [[Word of Blake|WoB]] that one time.
 
−
* [[:Category:LAM|LAMs]] might be quieter now. Let us know.
 
−
* There's two new [[Centurion 10|55-ton Centurions]], the -J and -W, just for fun. Thanks, Shrapnel Magazine!
 
−
* A few [[Gear#Armor|armors]] have had their descriptions clarified slightly.
 
−
* [[Skills_and_Abilities#Universal_Abilities|Careful Maneuvers]] now works on all units, not just tanks. Nothing will ever be stuck again!
 
−
* Every* purchasable tank now has a distinct description, hurrah! (*except the carriers because I couldn't think of anything interesting to say about the carriers).
 
−
* Most [[:Category:Controllable Vehicles|purchasable tanks]] have had their prices increased by between 20-50%. Tanks were too cheap and available, so we made them pricier. They're still vastly cheaper than mechs, but less "lolwhatever" than they used to be.
 
−
* Some of the weapon carrier tanks have been nerfed, losing [[Gear#TTS|TTSs]] or having their ammos changed around.
 
−
* The [[Mech_Quirks|Improved Communications quirk]] no longer stacks with itself infinitely.  
 
−
* Good news! You can actually buy the [[Contracts#Permanent_Contract_for_Ravager_BA_Airdrop|Ravager Battle Armor contract]] from the Marians like you were always supposed to be able to do! Sorry about that.
 
−
* Smoke now has a better icon, hurrah!
 
−
* The [[Weapons#Gauss|cGauss Rifle]] ignores 2 evasion now and the iGauss Rifle now has a recoil of 2, to balance them against each other slightly.
 
−
* The [[JàrnFòlk|JarnFolk]] and the [[Hanseatic League]] now have black markets, the JarnFolk on Alborg and the Hansa on Koningsberg, Lubeck, and Lynn.
 
−
* [[Skills_and_Abilities#Vehicle_Pilot_Abilities|Sideslip]] now properly moves you through forests. Sorry about that.
 
  
−
'''IMPORTANT:''' v11.2 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:''' v11.2 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
+
* 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.
