Patch 2.24.13.1 Applied:
Summer is officially (almost) over. As such, I figured it was time to get back on the horse and push out an update, albeit a small one. Details of what's included are as follows:

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where the BV displayed in the listing when modifying the Gunnery/Piloting skills was different than the BV for the unit when viewing it directly with the same Gunnery/Piloting skills.

Changes
  • Emails generated from the Electronic Request System will now have the title of the ticket as part of the email subject line.
  • Modified the readout for OmniMech BASE units to display the tonnage of pod space available under the Armament section. Additionally, for BattleMech OmniMech BASE units, there is a new Space Allocation table indicating how much space is available in each location.

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

================================================================================================
Overview:
    Imported from TRO: 3063 by Steven Satak.
    
    The Star League Defense Force of the early 28th Century relied on the Mobile Long Tom, the
    Thor and the Marksman for  its  artillery  support.    With  the  manufacturers  for  these
    vehicles  reduced  to  rubble  during  three  hundred  year?s conflict,  it  is  not
    surprising  that  such  machines  are  no longer available in great quantity.  Despite being
    deployed far behind the front lines, time and the vagaries of war have stripped most to bare
    hulks suitable only for memorials or museums.
    
    Artillery  still  plays  a  powerful  role  on  the  battlefields of  the  31st  Century,
    however  ?  even  those  dominated  by BattleMechs.    The  various  Houses  can  no  longer
    fill  their needs  with  the  archaic  weaponry  of  the  First  Star  League, and  so
    they  have  begun  producing  new  armored  fighting vehicles  which  duplicate  most  ?
    but  not  all  ?  of  the  most effective of the Star League equipment.
    
    The   Draconis   Combine-produced   Sabra   XIII   is   one example.      Another   is   the
    Federated   Commonwealth?s Pershing   Mobile   Artillery,   patterned   after   the
    SLDF?s Marksman and updated for the modern battlefield.

Capabilities:
    The  Pershing  is  a  sixty-five  ton  mobile  platform  for  a Johnston Industries Mark II
    Sniper artillery cannon.  It carries a crew of five: the commander, driver and three
    loaders.  The Pershing is unusually well-protected (for its size) with over six tons of
    CASE-equipped StarSlab armor, especially as it is not considered  a  front-line  vehicle.
    However,  lessons  learned with the Marksman demanded an extra level of protection;
    engineers   installed   a   CommuTech   Guardian   electronics countermeasure  suite  and
    front-mounted  Mainfire  anti-missile system, ideal for fending off attacks from infantry or
    battle armor that might penetrate to the rear lines.
    
    Thus  equipped,  the  Pershing  is  an  ideal  mobile  field piece.  It is capable of speeds
    exceeding sixty kilometers per hour and carries two tons of special Sniper rounds onboard.
    Unlike the Marksman, the turret-mounted main weapon has the flexibility to fire in any
    direction while on the move: the Pershing  uses  this  advantage  to  avoid  return
    artillery  fire.  As  there  is  no  major  secondary  weapon  to  coordinate,  the
    Marksman?s troublesome targeting system is not required.
    
    Military    planners    are    even    now    considering    the dedication  of  fast
    transports,  such  as  converted  Maxim hovercraft,  to  better  resupply  Pershing  lances
    when  they inevitably run out of reloads.

Deployment:
    As   with   many   other   new   vehicles   and   BattleMech designs   being   produced   at
    this   time,   the   Pershing   is currently undergoing field-testing with the Eleventh
    Avalon Hussars  RCT. The  Hussars  are  well  acquainted  with Taurian deep  reconnaissance
    and  raiding  forces.    Elements  of  the FedCom RCT faced off against the Pleiades Hussars
    recently on   Midale,   where   the   Pershing   artillery   inflicted   heavy damage on the
    Taurian?s third battalion.
    
    There  is  a  pressing  need  for  mobile  artillery  in  other regions,  including  the
    Polymorphous  Defense  Zones  that border the Chaos March and the newly resurgent Capellan
    Confederation.  Needless to say, it will be some time before sufficient numbers of the
    Pershing can be produced.

Variants:
    One alternate version of the Pershing exists at this time.  It  drops  the  countermeasure
    suite  for  extra  armor  and moves the Mainfire Point Defense anti-missile system to the
    turret.  An additional small pulse laser is mounted as well for anti-personnel  defense.
    Such  a  refit  is  intended  for  more independent  operations,  as  its  defenses  have
    wider  firing arcs and are better able to deal with enemy troops carrying missile packs.
    However, this leaves the Pershing vulnerable to Artemis-guided fire from heavier opponents.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Leftenant Millicent ?Millie? Davion-Parker
    
    As  can  be  guessed  from  her  name,  Davion-Parker  is distantly   related   to   a
    Federated   Commonwealth   royal family.    This  has  caused  a  certain  amount  of
    resentment among her fellow officers in the Avalon Hussars, who view her  assignment  to  a
    lance  of  new  Pershings  as  favoritism from  the  higher  ranks.    Such  rumors  only
    drive  this  young woman  harder  as  she  fights  not  just  to  win  battles,  but  to
    maintain an appearance of integrity.
    
    Despite  the  mild  hostility  from  her  peers,  the ?tankers? who  make  up  her  crew
    are  quite  fond  of  ?Millie?,  whose rigorous  high  standards  are  leavened  with  a
    willingness to  share  her  knowledge  of  military  tactics  -  and  go  ?club hopping? on
    duty-free weekends.
