Patch 2.24.13 Applied:
This was done last night, but just getting around to making the post today. Details of what's included are as follows:

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where performing a search on Alpha Strike damage values would sometimes cause the processing dialog to hang.

Changes
  • Changed how information related to structure and communications (type, technology, and model), are stored in the database for easier, more consistent, retrieval.
  • Changed the Source field (available to Admins only) to be a lookup instead of a dropdown.
  • Added the Minesweeper as equipment now available to combat vehicles.
  • Added a '#' button just to the right of the 'Add Equipment' button during design of units. This will allow you to quickly add a user-specified quantity of the equipment currently selected. This is particularly useful when wanting to add many shots of ammo on ProtoMechs.

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

================================================================================================
Overview:
    Once upon a time there was supposed to be a 3 ton Glider protomech moving at 18/27.  It
    carried no weapons, instead using its rather pitiful frenzy attack to do any damage.  The
    only saving grace was the use of a whole 2 points of electric discharge armor so it could at
    least act as a laser every few turns.  It was known as the Tooth Fairy.

Capabilities:
    You can't have Glider protomech that aren't ultra heavy...  so it's a good thing Quad
    protomechs use basically the same math. Poof it's a quad.  I shall name it the Cwn Annwn,
    after the hell hounds that accompany the wild hunt!  (I'm still going to call it the Tooth
    Fairy...)
    
    Minor changes result in a technically higher top speed while freeing up just enough tonnage
    for a few bits more spare armor.

Deployment:
    So how to use this is simple.  Don't.  Unless you're using it in the environment it was
    designed for, Alpha Strike.
    
    In alpha strike protomechs can do 1 point of physical damage which is a massive boost
    compared to what they can do under Total Warfare.  This is then combined with their high
    speed to not only get in range but to attack the rear doubling their damage output.  The
    high speed also makes them hard to hit giving a +5 modifier.  Being a protomech gives
    another +1.  And if light gliders were a thing that would of given another +1.  Still, even
    without being a Glider the odds of being hit are fairly low.  And this is where you give
    your opponent a dillema.  Shoot at the hard to hit thing and potentially waste a ton of
    firepower,  or go after main targets and be whittled away while distracted.
