Mordel.Net code release 2.14.0 has been implemented. It contains the long-awaited implementation of Mixed Tech designs along with the continued support for new equipment from Tactical Operations and beyond. Below is the complete list of changes:

Bug Fixes
  • Corrected an issue where extinction years for equipment were all off. For example, if a piece of equipment went extinct in 2950, I had it available in that year, when in actuality it's last year of standard availability should have been 2949. This impacted all of the star league era technology that went extinct and was subsequently rediscovered.
Enhancements
  • BattleMech units can now be designed utilizing mixed technologies. To utilize this feature you would simply check the 'Mixed' box next to the Technology Base dropdown. You will still select Inner Sphere or Clan as one will be the base technology used. Selecting Mixed allows you to add on equipment from all technology available.
  • Users can now design ultra-light BattleMechs. These 'Mechs weigh either 10 or 15 tons, and the tonnage selections will be available based on availability.
  • The following advanced weapons and equipment available in Tactical Operations have now been implemented and available for design on units when applicable:
    • Command Console - Previously available as a type of cockpit, this has now been moved to the equipment selection list to accomodate updates to construction rules, and can be used in conjunction with all standard cockpit types.
    • Collapsible Command Module - Available from the equipment selection list
    • Fission Engine - Available for selection from the engines selection list
    • Fuel Cell Engine - Available for selection from the engines selection list
    • Compact Engine - Still available but updated to match latest construction rules (I incorrectly had it available as a large engine type)
    • XXL Engine - Still available but updated to match latest construction rules (impact on BV is different with TacOps)
    • Full-Head Ejection System - Available from the equipment selection list, this does not require distribution
  • The following advanced weapons and equipment available in Starterbook: Sword and Dragon have now been implemented and available for design on units when applicable:
    • ER Large Laser (Prototype) - Available from the equipment selection list

Due to the number of changes and updates impacting availability dates, battle values, and cost, all units have been recalculated to ensure they are accurate.
