+
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:
  
−
v12.1.2 has been released. This fixes a critical issue with dropping into contracts
+
'''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.
  
−
v12.1.1 has been released. This fixes a critical issue with the stores and makes it so you can get past the monthly pay screen without issues.
+
'''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.
  
−
v12.1 (aka the "Merry New Year and Happy Mechmas!" release) has been released to the installer. This patch is a mixed bag of fixes and updates and new content.  
+
'''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 TANK:''' The [[Main Gauche]], a 30 ton light tank with a [[Weapons#Gauss|Light Gauss Rifle]], is now available. It is fielded by [[Free Worlds League|House Marik]] who can also sell you one if you're into that sort of thing.
+
'''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.
  
−
'''NEW TANK:''' The [[Augustus]] and [[Moltke]] tanks have been added, they're heavy tanks with long-range ballistics. They're fielded by House Marik who can also sell you several of the variants. They also have a sweet looking Y shaped turret, it's dope, go check it out.
+
* 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 MECHANIC (kind of):''' The [[Airdrop Beacons#Drone Airdrop Beacon|Drone Deployment Beacon]] has been added to BTA. This works the same way that the other unit deployment beacons do, but this one creates a VTOL, specifically a [[VTOL Drone|drone helicopter]]. The drone has no weapons beyond a [[Weapons#TAG|TAG]] and a [[Weapons#Narc|Narc]]. It also has Sensor Lock and an active probe and is quite fast. The idea is to deploy it and let it support your units with TAG/Narc/sensor lock/BAP. It's a little experimental but it's kinda fun to play with and it's a nice little support unit. The Drone Deployment Beacon has been added to stores and the beacon-specific background option at character creation (Sharp Negotiating). Additionally, [[Airdrop Beacons|beacons]] have been made somewhat more common (they're now guaranteed in the black market and on Electronics worlds).
+
'''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.
  
−
'''NEW ITEM:''' The [[B-Pod]] has arrived. Properly called the Anti-Battle Armor Explosive Pod, the B-Pod attaches to a mech's legs and can be detonated to blast swarming battle armor for a ton of damage (divided among the squad's members). Ever got swarmed and wanted to just delete them? Now you can. Oh, the B-Pod does literally nothing to anything else, FYI. Also the A-Pod got a minor overhaul. Both pods now show up in stores, have fun with them.  
+
'''IMPORTANT:''' v14.4 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
  
−
'''NEW ITEM:''' There are now [[Quad Front Leg Jump Jets|Quad-specific Heavy Front Arm Jump Jets]] in stores. These go in the front arms on quads only. They do not work for non-quad mechs. If you want to be symmetrical with your quad JJs, this is your moment!
+
'''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 AMMUNITION:''' SRMs now have [[Ammunition#MMagPulse ammunition. MagPulse ammo applies a stacking 1 turn accuracy debuff, up to -4 for 1 turn. Find it in stores like other ammo.
 
−
 
 
−
'''NEW ICONS:''' Fire tiles now have a neat fire icon. Radiation/Fallout tiles now have a little radiation icon. Smoke's effect is now the smoke icon. Acid effects (SRM/Mortar Acid, Disintegrating pulse lasers) now have a little acid icon. Mortar suppressant ammo has a fire extinguisher icon.
 
−
 
 
−
'''NEW PILOT SKILL (kind of):''' At Piloting 6, there's now a bonus for tank pilots that increases their flank speed (basically, tank sprint movement) by 15%. This works the same way that the mech sprint bonus at Piloting 7 works: it's just a minor passive buff for all pilots.
 
−
 
 
−
'''NEW TANK:''' The [[Mobile HQ]] has become playable. The playable Mobile HQ also has +resolve equipment and has the Strafing Run, BA Airdrop Beacon, and Turret Airdrop Beacon for maximum tactical flexibility on the field. It's purchasable in Inner Sphere stores randomly alongside general heavy tanks.
 
−
 
 
−
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' A bunch of new [[Community Content|CC]] happened for this patch, including the [[Weapons#Binary Heavy Laser|Binary Heavy Laser]], the [[Paladin Prototype Defense System|Paladin Superheavy Artillery Tank]] (found in the [[Federated_Suns#Faction_Store_Inventory|Davion faction store]]), the [[Omega#SHP-X1|Omega SHP-X1]] and its [[Weapons#Silver-Bullet Hyper-Assault/10 Gauss Rifle|Silver-Bullet Hyper-Assault/10 Gauss Rifle]], and the [[Weapons#Super MML|Super MML]]. [[Mack's Dustball]] now has its store correctly and has all the new weapons from this release.
 
−
 
 
−
* [[Quad Mech Gyro]] got a little buff, now increases kick damage and accuracy for quads.
 
−
* Multi-Target no longer has a 1 turn cooldown and is exempted from existing cooldown timers (so you can do something like use Phantom and Multi-Target in the same turn now).
 
−
* [[Battle Armor]] mounting/dismounting no longer has a cooldown.
 
−
* The [[Ammunition#SRM|Acid SRM]] was not applying its damage penalty properly, now it has the -4 damage penalty to the actual acid SRM itself properly. The acid effect is unchanged.
 
−
* [[Preta|Pretas]] did not have the [[OmniMech Gyro|Omni Gyro]], that's been corrected.
 
−
* SizeMatters tonnage cap was fixed, it now caps correctly at 100 tons. Turns out it just didn't work before, whoops!
 
−
* The [[Ontos| Ontos Mk II]] has been reduced in size a little.
 
−
* The [[Hauptmann#HA1-PRIME|Hauptmann Prime]] parts in the [[Lyran_Commonwealth#Faction_Store_Inventory|Steiner faction store]] now costs a reasonable amount.
 
−
* The [[Falcon]] had the incorrect max head armor amounts, which has now been corrected.
 
−
* Piercing AC ammos have had their descriptions updated.
 
−
* The hero [[Mech Quirks|quirk]] no longer duplicates, but it instead takes the lower Life Support slot. Existing mechs with the hero quirk will need stored and re-readied to get it to update properly.
 
−
* Battle Armor weapons now are listed in faction stores. Basically, if a faction sells a BA suit, it also sells that suits guns in their faction store so you can easily get more weapons. Enjoy the BA.
 
−
* Jam chance skills should be applying correctly now (you will need to reskill if you already have them, they will not apply retroactively).
 
−
* Fixed [[Gyro_Defense#Gyro_Defense_.2B_.2B|Sparrow Gyro]] description.
 
−
* Added the [[Alsvin]] and [[Vargr]] APCs to the [[Faction_Starter_Lists#BA_.28Battle_Armor.29|APC starting list]] and to shops. More APC options!
 
−
* Added the [[Corsair (75T)|Corsair COR-4R]], fielded by the Pirates like the other Corsairs. Also, it's on the [[Faction_Starter_Lists#Pirate|Pirate starting list]], very rarely.
 
−
* Added some warning text to the [[BTA_Calling|BTA Showdown]] and to Kringle's Krushers to not take tanks with.
 
−
* Gear with areas of effect now have bonusd escriptions clarifying their radius (covers active probes, AMS, Ambient Targeter, and C3 systems).
 
−
* Lots of typo fixes and dll updates.
 
−
 
 
−

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.
