Hi Everyone,Welcome to the first release of the next Development cycle, and wow have we been packing stuff in here. But before I go into the good stuff, let me remind you this is a Dev release and while we feel it’s playable there maybe be unforeseen issues. But let’s start with the fun stuff - what’s new….Princess continues to go to various academies in the Inner Sphere to get smarter. She’s graduated with better skills with infantry. We've actually seen her avoid running infantry into Firestarters in open terrain!She decided to skip basic naval operations and went straight into the Newtonian Physics mode. Yes…on a space map she’s learning to move the big ships and small ships, and yes she can shoot. So Bot in Space anyone?On the topic of Space Warfare, mkerensky continues to give us more things to do in space. The latest is Tele-Operated missiles and StratOps Advanced Space Sensors.But the biggest feature and it’s been FOUR years in the making is the Force Generator. This tool pulls from canon data from the MUL, sourcebooks, and scenario packs to allow the player to generate any formation you could think off. Below are a tiny examples of what can be generated. If your machine is powerful enough and you have the patience it will generate an entire SLDF Army for you!(note this is showing a small sample of the units necessary to lift the division)and lastly Deadborder is into his next huge project for us. Tanks....that's right a sprite for every tank and its variants.Not much in the way of features this release, but some bug fixes. Next release will have a huge feature.The ability to build Large Spacecraft – Jumpships, Warships, Space Stations. As an extension of that all those ship types will be remade to be in line with the current construction rules. For fun we’ve dug through the notes in 3057R and some of the other books and made our versions of some missing ships.MekHQ has had lots of little things and a couple of big things.The big thing is the start of a plug-in system. I’m going to let Neoancient explain it when he see’s the new release post or read the notes in the docs folder – plugins.txt“You call these baubles, well, it is with baubles that men are led… Do you think that you would be able to make men fight by reasoning? Never. That is only good for the scholar in his study. The soldier needs glory, distinctions, and rewards.” - Napoléon BonaparteYep….medals, ribbons and awards are in. If anyone wants to make canon’ish medals and rewards we’d love to add them to future releases.Onto the small small things!Also a reminder to drop into the Slack channel to meet other players and harass the devs that drop in and out.As a reminder when moving between versions:1) Make backups of your campaigns and customs.2) Always treat each release as a stand alone release and only copy your data forward from older versions.The change log below lists all the changes in this release from the previous one.Enjoy everyone.
