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:
  
−
v12.0 (aka the "It's Christmas But I Got *You* A Present!" release) has been released to the installer. This patch is a mixed bag of fixes and updates and new content.  
+
'''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.
  
−
'''MERRY CHRISTMAS!:''' All of the BTA Holiday Events are back! Sinterklaas returns as long as you have [[Wulfbanes]] on your crew. In December 3062, you might be paid a visit by Kringle's Killers, be good and there might be a present in it for you. And then in Dec 3063, Professor Horvath might show up and drop off a small [[UrbanMech#UM-XMAS|UrbanGift]]. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
+
'''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 [[Howler]], a 20 ton Clan light fire support mech, has been added. All the [[Factions#Clans|Clans]] field it and the [[Clan Diamond Shark#Faction Store Inventory|Diamond Sharks]] sell it.
+
'''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 MECH:''' The [[Reptar]] and [[Cazador]], 35 ton light Clan garrison designs, have been added. The Reptar is actually primitive-level tech and is available from the [[Factions#Deep Periphery|Deep Periphery factions]], despite its unusual Protomech AC/8 and cLMGs. The Cazador is proper Clantech and is available from the Clans. Since the Reptar comes with a Protomech AC/8, that gun (as well as the PAC/2 and PAC/4) have been added to BTA. You can find them in the Clan Diamond Shark store as well as their ammunition.
+
'''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 MECH (sort of):''' The [[Reconquista#RCQ-0N|Reconquista]], a 75 ton Primitive Orion knockoff from the Deep Periphery, has been added to the Deep Periphery factions ([[Hanseatic League]] and friends). You can get it from them... if you want to for some reason (it has an internal combustion engine, it's not great).
+
'''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).
  
−
'''NEW MECHANIC:''' Convoy truck units (the Burro, J-27, K-27, and J37) now carry a component named the Cargo Component. This piece of gear drops in salvage when a convoy unit is destroyed (say, in Ambush Convoy missions). When salvaged, instead of being an equippable piece of gear, it is actually a lootcrate that cracks open to give you some gear and some cash from randomized lists. Note that you can get mechparts or even, very rarely, an entire [[:Category:Hero Mechs|*Hero* 'Mech!]] You want a second crack at getting heroes? Go ambush the shit out of some convoys!
+
'''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 VISUALS:''' A number of [[Gear|gear categories]] have had their icons updated for visual uniformity. Heat Sink Kits, E-Coolings, Engine Shieldings (XL, XXL, LFE, etc), Engine Cores, Electronic Warfare Gear (ECM, BAP, etc), Movement Gear (TSM, MASC, Supercharger, etc), Sensors and Life Support in the head as well as things that sit on those slots, and the filters in the mechbay for all these things now have distinct icons to make the mechbay a little more interesting and clearer to look at (just go load the game and look around the mechbay for item icons, you'll see what I'm talking about immediately).
+
* 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 QUIRK:''' There is now a new default quirk for [[:Category:IndustrialMechs]] (which includes the [[Cazador/Reptar|Reptar]], the [[Loader King]], the [[Dig King]], the [[Crosscut]], and the [[Excavator|ExcavatorMech]]). The IndustrialMech [[Mech Quirks|quirk]] increases physical weapon accuracy, grants a bonus hit with a physical weapon and with a punch (this stacks with pilot skills), reduces self-damage from Charges and DFAs, and finally reduces stability damage taken. This might help buff up the industrials a bit so they're less abjectly underwhelming.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''SWAPPED QUIRK:''' The [[Rifleman]] and [[JagerMech]] have proper Anti-Air Targeting quirks, letting them dakka down aerial units (which include the [[:Category:LAM|LAMs]] in AirMech mode and anything using the Rotor component, such as the zeppelins). Yes, the *quirk* changed. To get this effect, you need to assemble a new Rifleman/JagerMech *or* store and re-ready your existing ones. Note that any existing RFL/JM6/7s that you have will NOT be automatically affected unless you store and re-ready them from storage. However, their old quirk still exists in the files so this is not a save breaking change. Note that their quirk is not identical: the JagerMech ignores 2 evasion on aerial units while the Rifleman has a flat +3 accuracy against them.
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v14.4 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
  
−
'''NEW AFFINITIES:''' The [[Battle Armor]] squads now have a unique max-rank [[Pilot Affinities|affinity]] for their use (Squirrelly Bastard, makes them hard to hit). Additionally, the ronin [[Virago - Pilot|Virago]] has a unique affinity for BA, gained at rank 10, named Minimizer making her even *harder* to hit and that stacks with Squirrelly Bastard. You want to BA properly? Get Virago!
+
'''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
−
 
 
−
'''NEW HEROES:''' A new batch of heroes has been added, specifically the [[Bellerophon#BEL-BH|Bellerophon]], [[Bombard#BMB-TB|Bombard]], [[Bombardier#BMB-PRK|Bombardier]] (this guy is a bitch and a half), [[Brigand#LDT-AB|Brigand]], [[Hauptmann#HA1-JO|Hauptmann]], [[Hazard#HZD-TRC|Hazard]], [[Hellhound#HLH-TM|Hellhound]], [[Hyperion#HYP-K|Hyperion]], [[Ostscout#OTT-OP|Ostscout]], and [[Thunder Hawk#TDK-SPH|Thunder Hawk]].
 
−
 
 
−
'''UPDATED FLASHPOINT:''' The third mission of the Campaign Flashpoint chain, the mission to liberate the Scheria on Axylus, now has a unique reward: a 55 ton Corsair variant, the [[Corsair (55T)|COR-3X]]. Have fun with your unique Corsair!
 
−
 
 
−
'''[[Community Content|COMMUNITY CONTENT]]:''' A bunch of new CC happened for this patch, including edits to the [[Dragon#DRG-FR|DRG-FR]] and [[Highlander#HGN-IB|HGN-IB]], added the [[Blackjack#BJ-1M|BJ-1M]] and its [[Weapons#Rotary Light Rifle|Rotary Light Rifle]], added the [[Surtur]] medium mech, added a non-crap [[Reconquista#RCQ-1C|Reconquista variant]], added a new *planet* to the far west side of the map named [[Mack's Dustball]] that has a great store for CC gear, added the [[Bushwacker#BSW-PF1|Bushwacker "Bard"]] and [[Thunderbolt#TDR-PF2|Thunderbolt "Skald"]], and added the [[Fafnir#FNR-6X|Fafnir-6X]] and [[Marauder#MAD-6W|Marauder-6W]] and their accompanying [[Gauss Capacitor]].

−

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.
