[14-Jun-2026 20:24]   Announcements
Patches 2.26.14 and 2.26.15 Applied:
Pushed out a couple of updates over the past few days. As usual they contain various back-end bug fixes (2.26.15 was entirely back-end stuff), but also contained a few other minor updates. Updates are as follows:

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where the new token parameter used for semi-private units was not present on various links or was present when it didn't need to be on others.

Changes
  • Automatically distributing fixed equipment, undistributing all equipment, and compacting criticals (for applicable units) is now available for all unit types.
  • Replaced images used for pips on BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs with drawn circles. This makes the circles crisper when viewing and printing.
  • Implemented errata for trailer hitches on Combat Vehicles where they no longer require take up available slots. If added, you will still need to place them in the front or rear, but it won't impact your available slots remaining.

NOTE: Any forces or units impacted by the above fixes and/or changes have had their stats recalculated to ensure accuracy.

================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Qilin is an unassuming heavy weapons platform.  Available to all Clan Enclaves,  it has
    proven popular with Blood Spirit second line protomech pilots.

Capabilities:
    With a ground mobility profile more akin to an average assualt mech,  the Qilin is unlikely
    to be involved in offensive operations.  Though the jump jets help with maneuverability,
    especially in twrrain that protomechs favor,  this unit is firmly on the guns and armor side
    of the capabilities triangle.  Armor coverage is almost maximized, only the sensor blister
    has reduced coverage as is standard design practice.  The weapons on the primary variant is
    an ER Large Laser, giving unpresidented range and hitting power for a protomech.

Deployment:
    For the Blood Spirits this class of protomechs are distinctly second line.  The pilots are
    the ones who are good enough protomech operators that they're still alive,  but not driven
    enough to qualify for mech duty.  Their lack of desire to make a name for themselves
    relegates them to less agressive combat rolls, such as fire support.

Variants:
    Are you seriously asking if there are variants of a heavy weapon platform?  Of course there
    are.  The three favored by the Blood Spirits are the ER Large Laser carrier, the LRM
    carrier, and an SRM carrier.
