v14.4 (aka the "Station Keeping" release) has been released to the installer. This is a smaller patch but there's some fun toys in here so let's take a look:
  
v11.4.3 is released. This fixes a misplaced comma that prevented BTA from loading. Damn those commas!!!
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Hammerhead, a 45 ton Diamond Shark experimental design, has swam into play. Note: the Hammerhead is a canon design from the 3140s, however all the tech involved exists in BTA's timeline so executive license was exercised to include it in BTA as a Diamond Shark exclusive experimental design. You can only get it by buying it from the Sharks.
  
----
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Iron Cheetah, a 100 ton OmniMech fork of the Dire Wolf that speeds it up to a 4/6 using a 400-rated XL engine, has lept into play. The Iron Cheetah is fielded by all the Clans at relatively low rarity and comes in 5 variants.
  
v11.4.2 has been released. This is a quick hotfix for some broken mechs and a few bugs.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Sidewinder, a 75 ton OmniMech "variant" of the Timber Wolf that slows it down but adds fixed MASC and Jump Jets(??) has airdropped into combat. The Sidewinder is only fielded by the Jade Falcons and comes in 6 variants.
  
----
+
'''NEW MODEL:''' There is a new variant of the Hazard called the Hazard II. The Hazard II comes with a Mace and has a newly updated model to go with it. It is 45 tons like the OG Hazard and is fielded exclusively by Circinus as well as being sold by them in their faction store.
  
v11.4.1 (aka the "Hey Dork, Maybe Shit Should Work Properly" release) has been released to the installer. This patch is mostly a bug fixing release.  
+
'''NEW GEAR:''' To implement the Hammerhead it was necessary to create AES, the Actuator Enhancement System. AES comes in either arm or leg form and boosts actuator functionality (arm AES boosts accuracy with that arm's weapons as well as punches and physical weapon attacks; leg AES increases stability and reduces stability damage taken, note that Leg AES can only fit in the Right Leg and takes up space in the Left Leg automatically as well, this is not a bug). You can buy AES rarely from normal Inner Sphere stores (anywhere you could buy gyros or other similar upgrades).
  
'''MAJOR FIX:''' The [[Game World|game world duels]] were not providing hero mech rewards properly. That has been fixed, sorry, it was a weird oversight but we sorted it out. Now you can actually acquire heroes correctly.
+
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' All CC descritions have been updated to clearly indicate the item/planet/mech/tank is from CC, so that there's no confusion about what's in base BTA and what's not; HVAC/5s got new ammo as well a new variant the Light HVAC/5, also several new HVAC using mechs were added (Enforcer, Firestarter, JagerMech); a missile-based Barghest was added; an Executioner variant called the Executioner II was added.
  
'''UPDATED MECHANIC:''' First Aid properly works now. Sorry, it was a minor fix that somehow escaped our notice for awhile until we did extensive testing on it.
+
* FTL LRMs had their clustering modifier reduced.
 +
* Some armors and structures were slightly updated visually (no mechanical changes).
 +
* AC/5 piercing ammo was reduced in effectiveness.
 +
* Several multi-fire weapons had their weapon animations sped up (X-Pulses, PAC/4).
 +
* The Champion LAM and Flashman had their affinities updated to Ice Cold instead of Cool-Running.
 +
* Ridgeline's unique pilot affinity now works with all LAMs.
 +
* The Von Luckner and the Partisan were resized somewhat as they were much too small.
 +
* Stealth armor BAs have been updated slightly (no functional changes on the player end, should be all back-end).
 +
* BA being able to deploy while over-tonned has been fixed.
 +
* Jump Turbines were restricted to LAMs exclusively.
 +
* CLPS was restricted from BA.
 +
* The Blood Asp and the Linebacker had their cDHS kit fixed in place.
 +
* Several Banshees got better hardpoints (-3Q, -3E)
 +
* Buncha dll updates.
  
'''NEW HEROES:''' The contest winner [[:Category:Hero Mechs|heroes]] were added for the [[Hollander#BZK-BZ|Hollander "Bug Zapper"]] and [[Locust IIC#LCT-IIC-TT|Locust IIC "Tippytoes"]]. Additionally, the following chassis had heroes added: [[Goliath#GOL-GS|Goliath]], [[Emperor#EMP-MC|Emperor]], [[Black Knight#BL-X-KNT|Black Knight]], [[Avatar#AV1-AT|Avatar]], [[Shootist#ST-TW|Shootist]], [[Fire Moth#FM-MO|Fire Moth]], [[Anubis#ABS#TZ|Anubis]], [[Sha Yu#SYU-SHK|Sha Yu]], [[Hollander#BZK-BI|Hollander II]], [[Huron Warrior#HUR-WO-WY|Huron Warrior]], [[Preta#X-PRT-O-SIROCCO|Preta]], [[Bull Shark#BSK-CHR|Bull Shark]].
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v14.4 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|COMMUNITY CONTENT]]:''' A new [[Dragon#DRG-FR|Dragon]] has been added. Also, the [[Highlander#HGN-IB|HGN-IB]] has had its description updated.
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v14.4 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
  
* Most installable [[Gear#Actuators|actuators]] now properly take tonnage. Sorry, but it was necessary for balance purposes.
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' You can see v14.4's patch notes, as well as any BTA patch notes, on our wiki on this page: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php/Patch_Notes
* We added a new gyro, the [[Gyro_Stability#Gyro Equilibrium|Equilibrium gyro]], it just gives you unsteady threshold and is very light.
 
* MechWarrior barracks now properly increase the number of dudes you can have. It's now 12 per pod.
 
* [[Weapons#Machine_Guns|MGs]] were buffed a little, now dialing up the rate of fire does not also dial up the refire penalty on most MGs.
 
* Hovers properly behave on water now. Zoom away!
 
* The [[Viper#VPR-M|Viper Medusa hero]] had its named changed to the Medusae to fix a wiki issue.
 
* The [[Fox]] got changed to be more TT-stat accurate. Somehow was wrong on a lot of them. Not sure why, fixed now.
 
* A number of chassis had their affinities changed. Quirks are unaffected. Specifically, these chassis were changed: [[Phoenix Hawk]], [[Dig King]], [[Hatchetman]], [[Wolverine]], [[Clint]], [[JagerMech]] (and [[JagerMech II]]), Also the [[Rifleman|Riflemen]], [[Assassin]], [[Nightstar]], [[Highlander]], and [[Turkina]].
 
* Battle Armor jump jets have changed. Now, they have the same jump capacity no matter how many troopers are alive. Losing 1 guy shouldn't make the others jump less good after all.
 
 
 
'''IMPORTANT:''' v11.4.1 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.
 
 
 
'''IMPORTANT:''' v11.4.1 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
 
 
 
'''IMPORTANT:''' You can see v11.4.1's patch notes, as well as any BTA patch notes, on our wiki on this page: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php/Patch_Notes

Revision as of 18:37, 5 October 2022

v14.4 (aka the "Station Keeping" release) has been released to the installer. This is a smaller patch but there's some fun toys in here so let's take a look:

NEW MECH: The Hammerhead, a 45 ton Diamond Shark experimental design, has swam into play. Note: the Hammerhead is a canon design from the 3140s, however all the tech involved exists in BTA's timeline so executive license was exercised to include it in BTA as a Diamond Shark exclusive experimental design. You can only get it by buying it from the Sharks.

NEW MECH: The Iron Cheetah, a 100 ton OmniMech fork of the Dire Wolf that speeds it up to a 4/6 using a 400-rated XL engine, has lept into play. The Iron Cheetah is fielded by all the Clans at relatively low rarity and comes in 5 variants.

NEW MECH: The Sidewinder, a 75 ton OmniMech "variant" of the Timber Wolf that slows it down but adds fixed MASC and Jump Jets(??) has airdropped into combat. The Sidewinder is only fielded by the Jade Falcons and comes in 6 variants.

NEW MODEL: There is a new variant of the Hazard called the Hazard II. The Hazard II comes with a Mace and has a newly updated model to go with it. It is 45 tons like the OG Hazard and is fielded exclusively by Circinus as well as being sold by them in their faction store.

NEW GEAR: To implement the Hammerhead it was necessary to create AES, the Actuator Enhancement System. AES comes in either arm or leg form and boosts actuator functionality (arm AES boosts accuracy with that arm's weapons as well as punches and physical weapon attacks; leg AES increases stability and reduces stability damage taken, note that Leg AES can only fit in the Right Leg and takes up space in the Left Leg automatically as well, this is not a bug). You can buy AES rarely from normal Inner Sphere stores (anywhere you could buy gyros or other similar upgrades).

COMMUNITY CONTENT: All CC descritions have been updated to clearly indicate the item/planet/mech/tank is from CC, so that there's no confusion about what's in base BTA and what's not; HVAC/5s got new ammo as well a new variant the Light HVAC/5, also several new HVAC using mechs were added (Enforcer, Firestarter, JagerMech); a missile-based Barghest was added; an Executioner variant called the Executioner II was added.

  • FTL LRMs had their clustering modifier reduced.
  • Some armors and structures were slightly updated visually (no mechanical changes).
  • AC/5 piercing ammo was reduced in effectiveness.
  • Several multi-fire weapons had their weapon animations sped up (X-Pulses, PAC/4).
  • The Champion LAM and Flashman had their affinities updated to Ice Cold instead of Cool-Running.
  • Ridgeline's unique pilot affinity now works with all LAMs.
  • The Von Luckner and the Partisan were resized somewhat as they were much too small.
  • Stealth armor BAs have been updated slightly (no functional changes on the player end, should be all back-end).
  • BA being able to deploy while over-tonned has been fixed.
  • Jump Turbines were restricted to LAMs exclusively.
  • CLPS was restricted from BA.
  • The Blood Asp and the Linebacker had their cDHS kit fixed in place.
  • Several Banshees got better hardpoints (-3Q, -3E)
  • Buncha dll updates.

IMPORTANT: v14.4 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: v14.4 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.

IMPORTANT: You can see v14.4's patch notes, as well as any BTA patch notes, on our wiki on this page: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php/Patch_Notes

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

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.
