v15.1 (aka the "It Has New Content So It Gets Its Own Patch Number" patch) has been released to the installer. This is a pretty small patch but worth some attention so let's hop to it:
+
v15.2 (aka the "Holy Shit That's a Lotta Mechs" patch) has been released to the installer. This is a fairly substantial patch, so let's get to it:
  
'''NEW MECH:''' The Gulon, a 25 ton industrial mech with a sick-ass drill (the drill spins!!), has dug its way out of the earth and into combat. Get it from the Industrial Mech start, from the Outworlds Alliance, *or* buy one of its many variants from Aliance Motors on Sevon, in the Outworlds Alliance.
+
'''EVERYONE READ THIS DAMN YOUR GOD DAMN EYEHOLES:''' This patch has a new installer attached to it, you will need to download the new installer for this patch. While this is unexpected and annoying, it also comes with our next piece of big news...
  
'''NEW MECH:''' The Thunder Hammer, an experimental fork of the Warhammer, has arrived on the battlefield. The Thunder Hammer is a Sanctuary Worlds mech and you can get it from any of the Sanctuary Powers in combat and also buy it from the Mallard Republic's faction store. Also, FYI, the Thunder Hammer does have a unique model.
+
'''READ THIS ONE TOO CURSE YOU:''' ...we have major performance upgrades! The new installer is required to install these performance upgrades. They should provide a noticeable upgrade to performance, though they will not fix the entire memory leak that the game suffers from, just helps with it. You'll definitely want these upgrades though, so go get the new installer and download BTA!
  
'''NEW ASF STRAFING CONTRACT:''' The Slayer ASF has been added. This ASF has 6 Medium Lasers for its strafing runs, letting it do big damage. The Slayer ASF contract is out in the wilds, same as the other ASF strafing contracts.
+
'''NEW SUBSYTEM:''' BTA has introduced a brand-new mechanic, named SoldiersPiratesAssassinsMercs, but we'll call it SPAM for ease of reading. SPAM is a mechanic that permits the on-the-fly dynamic adjustment of OpFor factions. What this means, in a practical sense, is that sometimes you'll drop against a faction and someone *else* fights you instead, usually mercenaries. Example: The Taurian Concordat has the famous mercenary unit the Lone Star Regiment on their payroll right now. When you drop into a contract against the Concordat, there is a chance that the Lone Star Regiment either replaces the Taurians *or* sends a support lance to back them up. This means you can fight much wider rosters of enemies and there is a much greater depth of possible enemies. If you want to read more (and you do, there's so much more SPAM does), there is an FAQ post about it with more practical examples and more details on how it all works, find it in the Discord FAQ or the FAQ on the wiki!
  
'''UPDATED MECH:''' I was looking at Industrial Mechs to make the Gulon recently and made a shocking discovery: the Dig King is 35 tons, not 30. BTA had it at 30 tons, because I'm bad at reading I guess, so I went ahead and fixed that. The Dig King's loadouts are now updated and the mech is 35 tons, with proper max armor and structure of a 35 tonner. Enjoy...?
+
'''IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SPAM:''' One of the things SPAM permits me to do is to divide up the Clan factions into their front-line forces and their second-line garrision forces. In Clan fluff, the front-line galaxies get OmniMechs and don't use shitty IICs or BattleMechs because real warriors get real weapons and the second-line garrison forces get the IICs and BattleMechs and do *not* get good Omnis. BTA now reflects this, as the four Clans you can fight in combat all are divided up into their front-line and second-line factions, with appropriate units. Example: There is now Clan Jade Falcon and CJF Iota Galaxy; Clan Jade Falcon is the front-line force and Iota Galaxy is the second-line garrison boys. Jade Falcon will field their OmniMechs and their good stuff while all the IICs and garrison designs will be relegated to Iota Galaxy. This is the case for Jade Falcon, Ghost Bear, Wolf, and Nova Cat, enjoy!
  
'''UPDATED INDUSTRIALS:''' Industrial Armor has been created and added to the appropriate units. Industrial Armor resembles Primitive Armor in that it gives you less armor points per ton. However, Industrial Armor does come with an upside: it provides a small amount of Damage Reduction against ballistic weapons (it's meant to deflect rocks while mining or trees while clear-cutting, which seems to fit as a big ballistic hit). Is it worth using? Probably not but you got it anyways.
+
'''UPDATED RESOLVE MECHANIC:''' Resolve in BTA has long been individual by pilot in terms of *use* but has been global in terms of *gaining resolve*. That changes today. Now, resolve gain is individually tracked per pilot and unit. This means that if you have a Mackie with Improved Communications, it only works for *its pilot's resolve pool*. Most resolve sources in BTA have been swapped to this (including quirks, most gear, and affinities), with a few that make sense remaining global. Generally, gear will now say if it is individual resolve gain or global resolve gain, read the descriptions closely.
  
'''NEW WEAPONS:''' The Sprayer and the Fluid Gun have been added to BTA. This was necessary for the Gulon above. Both weapons are available on several Gulon models and from the planet Sevon in the Outworlds Alliance. Neither is particularly good, but hey, if you want them they exist. Also, the Paint ammo for these weapons has a fun bonus effect of changing the target's actual displayed paint scheme on hit. Enjoy, I guess...?
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Night Chanter has arrived. This Golden Century OmniMech twist on the Crab is available from the Dark Caste! It is a 45 ton OmniMech version of the Crab. Check it out! Note: Turtrus's special Crab affinity *also* works with the Night Chanter! **Requires Flashpoint DLC**
  
'''FIXED VTOLS:''' The Sanctuary Powers are supposed to field several VTOLs in their forces against the player. However, due to some bad tagging, this was not happening properly. Should be fixed. Right now, neither can be salvaged, but you wanted to fight VTOLs so here you go, enjoy the Cobra and Rabbit Combat VTOLs.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Spirit Walker is here. This Golden Century OmniMech is a Star League-era Black Knight rebuilt with Clan and OmniMech technologies. It is fielded by the Dark Caste, go get one!
  
'''FIXED BATTLE ARMOR... FOR NOW:''' Swarming BA have had their special Swarm Attack removed. This was causing lockups during combat and needed to be removed for the time being. It may return in the future.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The StarDrive Stiletto has skittered into play! This is an apocryphal 15-ton ultralight. It is *extremely* goofy looking and I love it. It's fielded almost exclusively by House Kurita and is even sold at Al Na'ir! Go buy one.
  
'''BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS:''' The Double-Barrel ACs have seen a minor damage nerf. The DRMs have had their crit chance reduced another 30% (they now have a -70% penalty to crits, though crits are still possible with them).
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Mushu has lept into the fray! This is a non-canon 45 ton Inner Sphere design that's all about that CT firepower! It is the first homegrown Aurigan Coalition design and can be found in their faction store, in their factory at Mechdur, and among their forces.
  
* Bunch of RepMe's have been fixed, including several for Sanctuary powers such as APCs and some assaults.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' Technically, the Wyvern IIC is a new chassis. It's really just a Wyvern with Clantech (and uses the same model, much like the Clint IIC does), but there you go. You can find it with Clan second-line garrison factions.
* Standard Inner Sphere convoy trucks no longer appear in Clan convoy missions.
 
* The Shadow Hawk SHD-7M now assembles with other Shadow Hawks properly.
 
* Several models were resized appropriately (Crosscut, Dig King, Gulon).
 
* Sanctuary cargo crates are not available for salvaging.
 
* The Locust II's model has been repaired. It had some broken arms and has been fixed.
 
* The Mechbuster ASF has regained its AC/20 for strafing runs, for now. We'll see how long it lasts.
 
* Some framework dll updates to fix some corner-case bugs.
 
  
'''IMPORTANT:''' v15.1 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 MECH:''' The Piledriver has arrived. This is a new 100 ton assault mech for the Sanctuary Worlds powers. It is a terrifying gunbrick, slow but heavily optimized for firepower. All the Sanctuary forces field it (and the Dane Sacellum's faction store sells it), go nick one.
  
'''IMPORTANT:''' v15.1 is not a save breaking update, your saves are compatible and will work fine.
+
'''NEW MECH:''' The Rattlesnake has slithered into battle! This is a 35 ton Inner Sphere mech that is a Davion fork of the Kuritan Jenner. Originally apocryphal, it was canonized recently and we have a model that works well for it. The Davions field this one and they also sell it on New Valencia.
  
'''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
+
'''NEW MECHS:''' BTA has added approximately 150 or so new variants to the spawn lists for OpFor units. All of these are taken straight out of canon sources and are mechs we were missing. Many are from the mid-3060s but since BTA is really BTA 3060s Edition these days, that was deemed fine. Included are Clan and IS mechs of all kinds, from Primitives and super-early designs from the Golden Century and Age of War all the way to cutting-edge 3060s death machines. The IS got more mechs than the Clans, but the Clans still got a good amount of stuff. Some of this has been rolled into factory stores and faction stores as appropriate. Also, there's some spicy variants out there, like the Ostroc Mk.II and an Awesome with some unique gear. Keep your eyes open, MechWarrior!
 
 
'''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.  
 
 
 
== v15.1.1 ==
 
 
 
v15.1.1 (aka the "BD Forgot Stuff for 15.1" patch) has been released to the installer. This is a small bug-fixing patch that also includes a new, highly requested, feature:
 
 
 
'''PLAYER CONVOY CONTROL:''' That's right, we finally brought it to BTA. During Escort contracts (only standard Escorts, not Flashpoint ones for now) the player will gain control over the convoy units. However, you cannot just suicide them into the enemy, the convoy units must remain close to their intended path (marked by smoke flares) and cannot deviate. However, you get to drive them and let them shoot at stuff. Enjoy!
 
 
 
'''NEW ASF STRAFING CONTRACT:''' The Eisensturm ASF strafing contract has been added. The Eisensturm is sort of the last word in strafing runs and comes with twin Gauss Rifles. You can only purchase it from the Lyran Commonwealth's faction store. The contract is *very* expensive.
 
 
 
* Clarified the ammo count on the Vehicle Flamer (it's 5).
 
* Fixed the Reptar's armor to properly be Industrial Armor as intended.
 
* Fixed the Thunder Hammer's missing quirk. Whoops!
 
* Fixed spawn list for the Ostsol OTL-7M (was incorrectly spawning as a pirate unit).

== v15.1.2 ==
+
'''UPDATED MECHS:''' All Industrial Mechs, no matter what, have hardwired engine types now. People complained about them being inconsistent, so they're consistent now.
  
v15.1.2 (aka the "Some Minor Fixes and a Spider" patch) has been released to the installer. This is a small bug-fixing patch that also includes a new, highly requested, feature:
+
'''UPDATED PRIMITIVE MECHS:''' The three pieces of Primitive Technology (armor, engine, cockpit) have all been updated. The Engine now gives 1 bonus evasion on movement, the Cockpit now gives +2 pilot hits, and the Armor now gives 50% incoming melee damage reduction. They still do all the bad stuff too, but they have a few perks about them now. Also, importantly, all Primitive mechs now have Primitive Armor as a *default component*, meaning you can replace it but you cannot permanently remove it to get standard armor.
  
'''NEW MECH:''' The Tarantula, a 25 ton *quad* with a ton of jumpjets and speed, has scuttled into play. It's pretty cute, go get one! Most major factions field the Tarantula. However, it is also for sale on Stewart, in the FWL.
+
'''UPDATED FACTION STORES:''' Airdrop beacons have been lightly scattered throughout various Periphery faction stores, as follows: Mech Beacon (Aurigan, Tortugan), Turret Beacon (Chainelane, Illyrian), Tank Beacon (Circinian, Lothian), Strafing Run (Hansa), Drone Beacon (Rim).
  
'''NEW START:''' QUAD START IS HERE! With the advent of the Tarantula, we finally have a light mech for the quad start to be a thing. You're guaranteed 4 quads, a bug, an APC, and some BA. Enjoy!
+
'''UPDATED BLACK MARKET:''' Someone correctly pointed out that the mech selection in the Black Market was somewhat lacking. Well, it's god damn fixed now. The list has expanded by more than 35 possiblities, and that's before counting the Clan, Sanctuary, or Blakist mechs that can spawn (oh, and almost every Corsair is possible now). Oh, and you can sometimes buy Pallas parts now, just in case you never managed to fully salvage it when you find it naturally. ;)
  
'''UPDATED WEAPON:''' The Bomb Bay weapons, found on the Screamer LAM, have been updated. They do more damage/stab now. However, they're also removeable now. They can only be equipped on LAMs though, as makes sense since only LAMs can deploy bombs in combat. You can also salvage them if you're so inclined.
+
'''UPDATED BATTLE ARMOR:''' The Salamander Clan BA suit is now properly resistant to fire. They're supposed to be immune and I think they are, but let us know if they're not.
  
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' A new FASCAM InfernoAugmented ammo has been added to Mack's Dustball and a new Nightstar has been added.
+
'''COMMUNITY CONTENT:''' Some new CC landed this patch, including Insanity PPC turrets; a new Stalker (the -3DC);
  
* Convoys still getting stuck has possibly been fixed. We'll try this fix out for now.
+
* Clan Endo-Steel has been brightened up in color in the mechbay a little, to hopefully make it less of a beige mess in there.
* taintedloki's pilot skill has been adjusted to be a -1 penalty instead of a -2 penalty.
+
* The Commandos, Cyclopses, and Panthers have had their engines corrected.
* Several Atlases gained a CT slot.
+
* The Avatar's were supposed to have hardwired CASE but did not, so I've fixed that.
* Added a new emblem for Van Zant, Tex's planet from Tex Talks BattleTech.
+
* The IED explosions have been removed from urban ambushes so as not to destroy the ears of anyone listening. Christ on a cracker that shit was loud.
* There is now text on the mission ending screen that indicates if a pilot was captured after an ejection. If you miss it now, you're blind and I can't help you.
+
* Fixed the Gulon GLN-3A's undertonnage issue.
 +
* Updated the Behemoth (the very rare Wolf's Dragoons IS version of the Stone Rhino) to be record sheet accurate since it has one now.
 +
* Fixed the Community Content AS7-RG to be drop legal since it was not.
 +
* Fixed the Black Market in the Jacobson Haven, now all their worlds properly have Black Markets.
 +
* Rotary ACs have had their minimum range removed, because they don't have min range in canon I guess?? Well, they can shoot in melee now, hope someone enjoys this responsibly.
 +
* The Perseus has been fixed as its were not particularly TT accurate and now have been made to be so. All hail the leg weapons!
 +
* The planet Hardcore is now a gameworld. Enjoy?
 +
* BattleMech Claws now do extra attacks, because claw go snibsnab.
 +
* Just so many DLL updates, you don't even know.

v15.2

v15.2 (aka the "Holy Shit That's a Lotta Mechs" patch) has been released to the installer. This is a fairly substantial patch, so let's get to it:

EVERYONE READ THIS DAMN YOUR GOD DAMN EYEHOLES: This patch has a new installer attached to it, you will need to download the new installer for this patch. While this is unexpected and annoying, it also comes with our next piece of big news...

READ THIS ONE TOO CURSE YOU: ...we have major performance upgrades! The new installer is required to install these performance upgrades. They should provide a noticeable upgrade to performance, though they will not fix the entire memory leak that the game suffers from, just helps with it. You'll definitely want these upgrades though, so go get the new installer and download BTA!

NEW SUBSYTEM: BTA has introduced a brand-new mechanic, named SoldiersPiratesAssassinsMercs, but we'll call it SPAM for ease of reading. SPAM is a mechanic that permits the on-the-fly dynamic adjustment of OpFor factions. What this means, in a practical sense, is that sometimes you'll drop against a faction and someone *else* fights you instead, usually mercenaries. Example: The Taurian Concordat has the famous mercenary unit the Lone Star Regiment on their payroll right now. When you drop into a contract against the Concordat, there is a chance that the Lone Star Regiment either replaces the Taurians *or* sends a support lance to back them up. This means you can fight much wider rosters of enemies and there is a much greater depth of possible enemies. If you want to read more (and you do, there's so much more SPAM does), there is an FAQ post about it with more practical examples and more details on how it all works, find it in the Discord FAQ or the FAQ on the wiki!

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SPAM: One of the things SPAM permits me to do is to divide up the Clan factions into their front-line forces and their second-line garrision forces. In Clan fluff, the front-line galaxies get OmniMechs and don't use shitty IICs or BattleMechs because real warriors get real weapons and the second-line garrison forces get the IICs and BattleMechs and do *not* get good Omnis. BTA now reflects this, as the four Clans you can fight in combat all are divided up into their front-line and second-line factions, with appropriate units. Example: There is now Clan Jade Falcon and CJF Iota Galaxy; Clan Jade Falcon is the front-line force and Iota Galaxy is the second-line garrison boys. Jade Falcon will field their OmniMechs and their good stuff while all the IICs and garrison designs will be relegated to Iota Galaxy. This is the case for Jade Falcon, Ghost Bear, Wolf, and Nova Cat, enjoy!

UPDATED RESOLVE MECHANIC: Resolve in BTA has long been individual by pilot in terms of *use* but has been global in terms of *gaining resolve*. That changes today. Now, resolve gain is individually tracked per pilot and unit. This means that if you have a Mackie with Improved Communications, it only works for *its pilot's resolve pool*. Most resolve sources in BTA have been swapped to this (including quirks, most gear, and affinities), with a few that make sense remaining global. Generally, gear will now say if it is individual resolve gain or global resolve gain, read the descriptions closely.

NEW MECH: The Night Chanter has arrived. This Golden Century OmniMech twist on the Crab is available from the Dark Caste! It is a 45 ton OmniMech version of the Crab. Check it out! Note: Turtrus's special Crab affinity *also* works with the Night Chanter! **Requires Flashpoint DLC**

NEW MECH: The Spirit Walker is here. This Golden Century OmniMech is a Star League-era Black Knight rebuilt with Clan and OmniMech technologies. It is fielded by the Dark Caste, go get one!

NEW MECH: The StarDrive Stiletto has skittered into play! This is an apocryphal 15-ton ultralight. It is *extremely* goofy looking and I love it. It's fielded almost exclusively by House Kurita and is even sold at Al Na'ir! Go buy one.

NEW MECH: The Mushu has lept into the fray! This is a non-canon 45 ton Inner Sphere design that's all about that CT firepower! It is the first homegrown Aurigan Coalition design and can be found in their faction store, in their factory at Mechdur, and among their forces.

NEW MECH: Technically, the Wyvern IIC is a new chassis. It's really just a Wyvern with Clantech (and uses the same model, much like the Clint IIC does), but there you go. You can find it with Clan second-line garrison factions.

NEW MECH: The Piledriver has arrived. This is a new 100 ton assault mech for the Sanctuary Worlds powers. It is a terrifying gunbrick, slow but heavily optimized for firepower. All the Sanctuary forces field it (and the Dane Sacellum's faction store sells it), go nick one.

NEW MECHS: BTA has added approximately 150 or so new variants to the spawn lists for OpFor units. All of these are taken straight out of canon sources and are mechs we were missing.

Also, there's some spicy variants out there, like the Ostroc Mk.II and an Awesome with some unique gear. Keep your eyes open, MechWarrior!

UPDATED MECHS: All Industrial Mechs, no matter what, have hardwired engine types now. People complained about them being inconsistent, so they're consistent now.

UPDATED PRIMITIVE MECHS: The three pieces of Primitive Technology (armor, engine, cockpit) have all been updated. The Engine now gives 1 bonus evasion on movement, the Cockpit now gives +2 pilot hits, and the Armor now gives 50% incoming melee damage reduction. They still do all the bad stuff too, but they have a few perks about them now.

Oh, and you can sometimes buy Pallas parts now, just in case you never managed to fully salvage it when you find it naturally. ;)

UPDATED BATTLE ARMOR: The Salamander Clan BA suit is now properly resistant to fire. They're supposed to be immune and I think they are, but let us know if they're not.

COMMUNITY CONTENT: Some new CC landed this patch, including Insanity PPC turrets; a new Stalker (the -3DC);
