По хорошему из BattleTech можно делать серию игр...как тут же call of duty и клепать и клепать под соусом из "межхвёздных разборок"

патча отдельно нет.

Кароче; русского нет. Продажу частей меха - тоже не завезли. Зачем выпускать??? Блоком выпустите сразук всё.
2-й раз пройду только тогда, когда будет русский язык.

для фанов выкладываем рабочую сборку Мechwarrior 3 + аддон Pirate's Moon полностью на русском, работает даже с win.10 без проблем.

Не может не быть русской локализации игры, так как это одно из требований бэкеров на Кикстартере и Волосомозгие обязаны его выполнить, так как на это тоже собирали деньги, а иначе им придётся возвращать бабло обманутым, на что никто не пойдёт...

На сайте Paradox Interactive появился анонс первого дополнения к Battletech - Flashpoint
В дополнении обещают 3 новых вида биомов (погодных условий), 3-х новых мехов (Hatchetman, Crab, Cyclops), новые типы миссий.
Дата выхода - Ноябрь 2018 г.
https://www.paradoxplaza.com/news?aid=battletech-flashpoint-announcement
Видео-трейлер

Увидел в самый последний момент. Язык Пушкина пока не завезли ((((((

Разрабы обещали в следующем патче ввести бегунки для настройки сложности в каждом отдельном аспекте игры. )

1. Они в курсе что игра толком не оптимизирована и будут над этим работать как над приоритетным направлением. Ждите обновления в ближайшие дни или недели.
2. Исправление багов, планируют патч ориентировочно в конце Мая.
3. Поддержка новых языков (включая Русский) и Linux, уверяют что это для них важнейший приоритет, но дату назвать в точности не могут.
4. Они ведут работы по первому крупному и бесплатному обновлению, в котором планируют:
а) Опция ускорение хода боев (для игроков которые были недовольны медлительность происходящего).
б) Кастомизация пилотов (имя, позывной, голос, внешность)
в) набор точных настроек уровня сложности для конкретных ситуаций(areas) (что за случаи, ситуации, местности имеет в виду разработчик не вполне ясно, возможно дадут выбрать дополнительные факторы усложнения при взятии контракта).
г) изменения в интерфейсе касающиеся покупки и сбора (salvaging) новых предметов.
д) Возможность пропуска пролога.
е) Будут работать над "сглаживаением" уровня сложности правя ситуации когда попадаются слишком сложные или слишком легкие задания на примерно одном уровне задания. Сделают рамки сложности по черепам более четкими.
ж) Небольшие изменения которые, в целом, улучшат удобство игры.
Это примерный план, который будет дополнен и уточнен перед непосредственно выходом обновления, а выход запланирован на Июнь\Июль этого года.
5. Это только начало! Мы будем продолжать выпускать бесплатные обновления и после выпуска первого обновления, а также с удовольствием позднее выпустим для вас МАСТАБНОЕ ПЛАТНОЕ РАСШИРЕНИЕ или даже парочку, но прямо сейчас мы сосредоточены на исправлении багов и немедленном реагированнии на проблемы связанные с выпуском игры (о чем и написано в предыдущих пунктах). При вашей поддержке мы и дальше будем улучать Battletech делая ее все лучше и больше!
Это то что я вычитал на кикстартере...

возможно что в новых ДЛЦ добавят не только новых мехов, в том числе Клановых, но и больше другой наземной и воздушной техники....

в Стиме появился бета патч 1.0.3-280R

Battletech is getting more customization options and maybe an expansion or two

Harebrained Schemes has shared its post-launch plans for Battletech, the giant fighting robot strategy game that launched to much acclaim last week. The studio said the positive response to the game means that "many things are now possible," including localization into other languages, more customization options, and possibly even some full-on expansions.

Before all that, however, come the bugs. "Our launch last week wasn't perfect. A subset of players are experiencing hardware/system compatibility and performance issues that our team is working hard to investigate," Harebrained wrote in a Battletech Kickstarter update. "Solutions for critical issues are always our top priority, and will be released as soon as they're available and tested. Typically, we will release patches to our public_beta branch on Steam for a few days for testing before we push them to the default branch."

A "general bugfix" patch is expected to arrive in late May, followed by a larger update focusing on increased customization and player-requested features. Specifics are still being determined but items up for consideration include:
◾Accelerated Combat Options - We're working on options for players who would like to accelerate the pace of combat missions.
◾MechWarrior Customization - We know that many players would like to change the appearance, callsign, name, and voice of all their MechWarriors, not just their Commander. This didn't make it in for launch but we'll be adding it in Update 1.
◾Granular difficulty settings - A set of discrete options for players to customize the challenge level of the game in different areas.
◾MechLab / Store / Salvage Quality-of-Life Improvements - Interface additions to reduce friction when buying and salvaging new items.
◾Tutorial-skip Option - Allowing players who have already played the prologue missions to skip those missions when starting a new campaign, and get right to the Leopard.
◾Addressing Difficulty Spikes - We'll be working on smoothing out some issues with unexpectedly hard (or easy) content. Not to remove all difficulty variance, but to address clear outliers.
◾Live-streaming Quality-of-Life Improvements - Audio persisting when alt-tabbed, for example.

"The above is just the beginning! We'll be continuing with more free Updates after Update 1, and we'd also love to release a larger paid content Expansion or two," Harebrained said. "But right now we're staying focused on bugfixes and immediate reactions to launch feedback."

The first Battletech fixer-upper patch went live yesterday. The full patch notes are available on the Paradox forums.

BATTLETECH Post-Launch Roadmap

1. Compatibility / Performance Investigations
Our launch last week wasn't perfect. A subset of players are experiencing hardware/system compatibility and performance issues that our team is working hard to investigate. Solutions for critical issues are always our top priority, and will be released as soon as they're available and tested. Typically, we will release patches to our public_beta branch on Steam for a few days for testing before we push them to the default branch.

On that note - last Friday we released our first patch to the public_beta branch for testing. Today, that 1.0.1 Patch went live - you can read the full changelog here. We expect to release more patches to public_beta in the coming days and weeks.

2. General Bugfix (Late May)
We expect to release at least one general bugfix/improvements patch later in May.

3. Localization (French, German, Russian) and Linux support
These are both Kickstarter commitments and high priorities for our post-launch roadmap. (Along with a couple other Kickstarter commitments that didn't make it in for launch.) We don't have a more precise ETA yet for these items but will update you as soon as we do.

4. Update #1: Customization & Player Options (June/July)
We're already beginning work on our first larger free Update to BATTLETECH. This Update is all about customization and reacting to common pieces of feedback that we've received from you on the game. Here's a list of items we're currently looking at for Update 1 this summer:
◾Accelerated combat options - We're working on options for players who would like to accelerate the pace of combat missions.
◾MechWarrior customization - We know that many players would like to change the appearance, callsign, name, and voice of all their MechWarriors, not just their Commander. This didn't make it in for launch but we'll be adding it in Update 1.
◾Granular difficulty settings - A set of discrete options for players to customize the challenge level of the game in different areas.
◾MechLab / Store / Salvage quality-of-life improvements - Interface additions to reduce friction when buying and salvaging new items.
◾Tutorial-skip option - Allowing players who have already played the prologue missions to skip those missions when starting a new campaign, and get right to the Leopard.
◾Addressing difficulty spikes - We'll be working on smoothing out some issues with unexpectedly hard (or easy) content. Not to remove all difficulty variance, but to address clear outliers.
◾Live-streaming quality-of-life improvements - Audio persisting when alt-tabbed, for example.
It's important to note that the exact contents of Update 1 may shift during development. Please consider these general directions and priorities. We'll post a more detailed and updated list of what's in the Update closer to its release.

5. More BATTLETECH!
The above is just the beginning! We'll be continuing with more free Updates after Update 1, and we'd also love to release a larger paid content Expansion or two - but right now we're staying focused on bugfixes and immediate reactions to launch feedback. With your support, we could not be more excited to continue making BATTLETECH even bigger and better.

говорят что новый патч забаговал игру больше чем поправил багов...
Последний патч эдакая подмена шила на мыло. Лагать и фризить стало меньше...первый час игры, потом, словно наверстывая, игра начинает тупить в 2 раза интенсивней прежнего. Полторы минуты прогрузки с экрана выбора добычи это не нормально. разрабы с готовностью подтверждают свою жопорукость раз за разом.

Учитывая последние новости, в ближайший патч, выйдет обновленная модель Blood Asp. Разработчики в Facebook сообщили от 18 марта, что они прислушались к отзывам игроков и решили исправить допущенные ошибки при разработке. Переработанная модель, будет больше похожа на оригинал и обладает более высокими и удлиненными деталями.

LIVE - BATTLETECH 1.0.4 Release Notes

Thank you for playing BATTLETECH! We appreciate your patience and support as our team works to quickly investigate and address reported issues with the game. Release 1.0.4 is now available for users on Steam and GoG. Note that the public_beta branch is still on Release 1.0.3 plus the additional Beta Launcher for BATTLETECH - we will also be advancing public_beta to contain 1.0.4 plus Launcher later this week.

If you experience any issues after updating, the first step we recommend is to restart your computer, and then verify integrity of game files. Occasionally, the Steam update process can act weird - this will ensure that the update has been properly applied.

Players with nVidia graphics cards should now update to the latest nVidia driver and not use the BT game ready driver that was released at launch.

As always, if you experience further issues please contact Customer Support at: https://support.paradoxplaza.com

Release 1.0.4 Notes, 5/21/2018
•Fixed an issue introduced in Release 1.0.3 where the campaign timeline could stop advancing under certain circumstances - most commonly, after the death of one or more MechWarriors with active temporary tags (e.g High Spirits) on them.
Additional note for players who mod various game files…Reminder that modding is not officially supported. If you have saved a game with any mod active, that saved game will not work after an update has been applied unless you replace all modded files exactly as they were when the save game file was created. Saved games require the exact same data state in order to function properly.

Издательство Paradox Interactive публично объявило о приобретении студии Harebrained Schemes
https://www.dualshockers.com/battletech-developer-harebrained-schemes-acquired-paradox-interactive/
Отныне Harebrained будет являться одной из внутренних студий компании и ее собственным подразделением, что, впрочем, никак не ограничит ее в творчестве и не приведет к сокращению штата.

Генеральный директор Paradox Interactive остался очень доволен приобретением и заявил об имеющихся планах в долгосрочной перспективе.

В честь обозначенного события, кстати, все те, кто поддержал свое время Battletech, получат в будущем бесплатную копию космической стратегии Stellaris. Подробности об этом обещают представить позднее.

Что касается самой игры, то ее, похоже, все-таки постигнет участь проектов от Paradox, которые практически всегда обзаводятся бесчисленным количеством DLC.

Updated the credits

на международную выставку игровой индустрии, ещё называемую "главная американская выставка настольных игр" Gen Con 2018, которая будет проходить с 2 по 5 августа в США, в городе Индианаполис, поедет один из руководителей Harebrained Schemes: Митч (Mitch Gitelman), возможно там мы и услышим новости о дальнейшей судьбе игры, о новых дополнениях и локализации или даже о возрождении настолки Battletech!

Компания Paradox Interactive отчиталась о своих результатах за второй квартал текущего финансового года. Выручка упала на целых 38%! Издательство объясняет такое падение тем, что за прошедшие три месяца ей пришлось выплатить большую сумму по роялти, поскольку на игры от сторонних компаний пришлась примерно четверть от итоговых доходов.
При этом Paradox отменила два не аносированных проекта, дабы стабилизировать свое финансовое положение. Руководство компании сообщило, что ничего критичного в падении доходов нет, а часть разрабатываемых в недрах игр порой все равно закрывается на ранней стадии. https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/en/interim-report-january-june-2018/

Подробности нового Дополнения BATTLETEC Flashpoint:
3 новых Биома: разные варианты на тему тропических пляжей с пальмами.

3 новых Меха: средний Мех Hatchetman с топором и заточенный на ближний бой http://www.sarna.net/wiki/hatchetman , более скоростной и универсальный средний мех Crab http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Crab и штурмовой Мех Cyclops с разнообразным оружием под все дистанции боя. http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Cyclops
Миссия: Target Acquisition, с захватом нескольких точек на карте.

Главное нововведение Flashpoints: небольшие сценарии, состоящие из нескольких стандартных миссии. В ходе таких операций придется не только участвовать в двух последовательных заданиях одними и теми же мехами, но и столкнуться с нелинейными случайными событиями.
Короткие новые истории будут состоять из процедурных миссий, связанных вместе с новыми разговорами экипажа, специальными событиями, критическим выбором и ценными наградами.
"Истории Flashpoint дают нам гибкость в разработке огромного разнообразия опыта, все с различными последовательностями, событиями, проблемами, решениями, наградами и т. д. Мы объединяем основную механику геймплея новыми способами для создания более глубокого Контента,-сказал Митч Гителман, игровой директор BATTLETECH и соучредитель Harebrained Schemes”. “Эти более сложные и долгосрочные цели являются потрясающим инструментом интерактивного повествования, который, как мы думаем, понравится поклонникам BATTLETECH" - добавил Джордан Вайсман, генеральный директор и создатель BattleTech.

BATTLETECH 1.2
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/live-battletech-1-2-0-release-notes-mechwarrior-abilities-re-spec-beta-and-more.1116569/

HIGHLIGHTS: Players using the Custom Campaign options introduced in 1.1 can now take advantage of a new "Prologue Skip" setting to fast-track new campaigns (this is definitely not recommended for first-time players, though!). The combat Morale system in the campaign has received a significant overhaul (and is now called Resolve - more on that below). We've added a Memorial Wall in the Argo so that you can honor Dekker's sacrifice whenever you want. We've made several improvements to our save game management systems (and you can now name Manual Saves when creating them). And lastly, we added new events for you to discover during your mercenary adventures. See further details below.

New Features & Content

New Prologue Skip Option. Added the ability to skip the opening missions and cinematics of the campaign and skip to your first mission as a mercenary commander, helping a group of miners.

Combat Morale replaced with Resolve. Players now gain a consistent amount of Resolve every round of combat, and can use it to activate Precision Strike and Vigilance. The amount of Resolve gained each round is determined by the Morale on board your ship.

New Memorial Wall added in the Argo. Players can now access a list of fallen MechWarriors and view a variety of statistics they logged during their mercenary careers.

BATTLETECH Season Pass : Flashpoint DLC, Urban Warfare DLC и третьеещё пока не анонсированное DLC...

Выход русской локализации клятвенно обещают 27 ноября!

27 ноября выпустят локализованную на русский, французский и немецкий языки игру пропатченную до версии 1.3. Потом когда будет выпущена первая DLC Flashpoint то она тоже будет локализованна.

Генеральный директор Harebrained Schemes Джордан Уэйсмэн рассказал, что дополнения к BattleTech «всегда будут следовать сюжету». Он сравнил BattleTech с предыдущим творением студии Shadowrun и заявил, что единственный способ сделать игру больше – это создать «дорогой ручной контент», будь то расширение или сиквел. В свою очередь издатель и разработчик Paradox обычно старается систематизировать и улучшить игровой процесс своего отдельного взятого проекта. И в этом подходы студий разнятся.
Уэйсмэн говорит, что разработчики стремятся отыскать «правильную алхимию между реиграбельностью и историей с эмоциональным ядром не только для BattleTech, но и для своих будущих проектов».
Нarebrained Schemes планирует большое обновление игры в июне/июле, но оно будут состоять из улучшений текущей версии игры. В будущем нас ждёт одно-два крупных дополнения.

Интервью с разработчиком игры, гейм-директором Mike McCain. На английском.

Просто пустой трёп и восхваления себя любимого и гениального, да жалкие попытки оправдать свой косяк с тормознутыми менюшками игры тем, что типа они хотели сделать бои гигантских мехов более эпичными и кинематографичными. Обещают исправить и пофиксить баги и в будущем добавить нормальную поддержку фанатских модов, ну и наклепать конечно же DLC.

"В нашем первом большом обновлении, среди прочего, мы добавляем режим полного ускорения, который может быть включен или отключен в любое время из меню настроек. Ускорятся начало движения мехов, но опять замедлятся в конце, чтобы не пропустить чего важного. Мы также добавляем функцию "ускорения по требованию" - в основном, вы можете нажать пробел во время действия, чтобы ускорить только это действие."

Что касается самой игры, то ее, похоже, все-таки постигнет участь проектов от Paradox, которые практически всегда обзаводятся бесчисленным количеством DLC.

Какая печальная участь - много DLC, всем бы так!)

За ссылки - спасибо. Нашел там интересное для себя, кроме того, что ты принёс сюда. Удалил свой самый негативный коммент в более ранних темах. Лови плюс.)

Дизайнер Battletech Тайлер Карпентер был уволен из студии Harebrained Schemes после того, как несколько женщин обвинили его в сексуальном харассменте. Обвинения привели к началу расследования, а их результатом стало немедленное увольнение.
https://twitter.com/WeBeHarebrained
Harebrained Schemes необходимо внести ясность в связи с недавней ситуацией, в которой одного из наших бывших сотрудниках обвиняли в сексуальных домогательствах и неправомерных действиях. В тот момент, когда мы о ней узнали, мы незамедлительно отправили обозначенного работника в отпуск и провели полное расследование. В итоге мы решили, что лучшим вариантом будет распрощаться с данным сотрудником, что мы и сделали не задумываясь.
Мы стремимся обеспечить для всех наших работников безопасную рабочую среду и всегда будем активно принимать необходимые меры для поддержания безопасной, позитивной, уважительной и командной рабочей атмосферы».

Известно, что на Тайлера пожаловалось как минимум шесть женщин, сообщивших о том, что тот постоянно присылал им непристойные сообщения, трогал их помимо их воли и вообще не давал им проходу. https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/yweqk5/harebrained-schemes-designer-accused-of-sexual-harassment-resigns

русича еще значит нет

Пишут что локализации будут в следующей обнове. Хотя скорее надо это читать как - в следующей крупной обнове.

Developer Diaries #1: Mechwarrior Ability Revision
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/developer-diaries-1-mechwarrior-ability-revision.1116566/

Hi everyone! It's yr friendly neighborhood design lead, Kiva, with the first of what will be a regular new feature: Developer Diaries! We're asking members of the BATTLETECH team to write about their ideas, upcoming features, and particularly interesting aspects of their work. For our inaugural Diary, we're talking about some previously-teased revisions to MechWarrior abilities, particularly good old Bulwark.

One of the things we’re always on the lookout for is player consensus on “right” ways to play the game. When we design game systems, one of the first things we ask is “What decisions can the player make in this system?” This is because game systems are superfluous if there’s a single outcome and a single path to that outcome. We may as well just move your playing pieces for you, if there aren’t choices.

When we saw the consensus developing that the MechWarrior ability Bulwark was considered mandatory for all pilots, and its higher-level companion Juggernaut was considered useless, we started paying close attention to conversations about both, and started planning. We’d always expected to tune the MechWarrior abilities post-launch, and here was the first indicator that it was time to do so.

The initial proposal, which we very nearly patched in 1.1, was to simply reverse the positions of Bulwark and Juggernaut. Bulwark would become the higher-end Guts ability, and Juggernaut would become the lower-end one. We kept talking, though, and we decided that the real issue was that Bulwark was, relative to almost every other ability, too effective and useful. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! But moving it to the high-level ability slot would severely restrict the choice space for MechWarriors. Everyone would have Guts as their primary skill focus, which would be a step backwards -- at least under the original design, pilots would pair Guts with the top-end ability from some other tree.

So we scrapped that plan and went back to the whiteboards. We wanted to make Bulwark a useful ability for tanking damage, but we didn’t want it to lead to stagnant, immobile gameplay. So we did what we always do: prototyped it over and over, playtesting each time and taking notes and getting back together to talk through those notes.

This spread into a complete revision of the whole ability space, because once we start trying to fix something, we can’t help but notice everything else around it that might be broken, as well. For a while, every single ability was drastically different, as we experimented through a variety of possibilities.

Ultimately, however, we ended up leaving most of the abilities alone, or making minor tuning changes to them. Personally, I’m a fan of leaving well enough alone, and for abilities that were essentially working as expected, resisting the urge to tinker with them is a virtue.

So here’s a high-level description of what we did change:

Sensor Lock: it’s a one-trick pony. It’s useful, but nobody’s bringing a sensor lock pilot along because it’s exciting or interesting to use the ability, and after you get within line of sight range, you basically never use it again. To add post-contact utility, we added the same debuff that PPCs give a target. If you sensor lock someone, you place two stacks of Sensors Impaired on them. If you pair that with some PPC fire, you can utterly ruin someone’s shot accuracy for a short period. It’s still not competitive with actually firing your weapons, but it shouldn’t be; and now, at least, you might hesitate a moment and ask ‘what if I sensor locked right now?’

Bulwark: we did so many things to this poor ability, trying every possible combination of movement and positioning and action consumption and effectiveness that we could think of. For a while it was a new ability called “Fortify” that had radically different behavior that promised to fundamentally alter the flow of combat. In the end, though, we realized that the problem was simple: Bulwark encourages stationary firing platforms. So that’s what we tried to fix. Bulwark no longer gives you the Guarded state for free when you don’t move. Instead, it makes the Guarded state far, far more powerful. You still need to Brace (or use Defensive Push) to get Guarded, but once you have it, you’ll be extremely difficult to damage.

We also made Guarded stack with Cover, so that by bracing your Bulwark pilot in a forest, you can almost entirely negate incoming damage. This -- hopefully! -- brings cover back into the tactical space as an option for positioning your ‘Mechs, and makes destroying buildings a more reasonable use of a firing action, to create places to stand that grant the near-invulnerability of Bulwark + Cover.

Coolant Vent: poor Juggernaut. It seems like a good idea on paper, but in practice manipulating a target’s initiative isn’t all that interesting at the high end of gameplay, when many of the targets are Assault-class ‘Mechs with the lowest possible initiative. Combined with the necessity of melee to trigger it -- in a tree whose other ability requires standing still -- it was second or even third tier. So, sadly, we cut it, and mourned its loss.

Coolant Vent replaces it with something more aggressive and exciting. When you trigger this ability, you manually shunt coolant out of your ‘Mech, right through the cockpit, in a way guaranteed to make your MechTechs and MedTechs cringe. Coolant is nasty stuff! By doing this, you increase your heat sinking for that round by +100, effectively guaranteeing you’ll end the round at 0 heat. But, in trade, you take a pilot Injury.

This is the top-end Guts skill, so we know you have plenty of health to spare on these pilots; are you willing to trade infirmary time, and increased vulnerability to being incapacitated, for the ability to Alpha Strike with your Black Knight round after round? We put a safeguard in -- your pilot isn’t willing to vent coolant if it will actually kill her -- but aside from that, you’re able to spend your health to push your damage output to its limits.

Sure Footing: The problem with Evasive Move is that it was so rarely relevant. With a fast ‘Mech, the extra evasion was superfluous; you were typically near the evasion cap already, just from ordinary movement. With a slower ‘Mech, you weren’t ever getting enough evasion out of this for it to feel worthwhile.

We’ve been gradually trying to address the knockdown meta, without pushing too far in the direction of devaluing knockdowns. Sure Footing seemed like an obvious replacement for Evasive Move, in that context. When you move, if it’s an ordinary move -- that is, not a sprint or a jump or a melee charge or a DFA -- you become Entrenched automatically. Sure Footing pilots advancing and shooting are extremely difficult to knock down, and in larger ‘Mechs, it’s nearly impossible without breaking their Entrenched state first.

With all that said, we’re not carving these new abilities in stone. We’re releasing them to you in beta form, because we know that you, collectively, are far better able to find the exploits, weaknesses, and failure states in this kind of design work than we are. We’re going to be monitoring this thread carefully for your feedback, and we want to hear from you. This is a significant enough change that we’re not going to push it to Live without getting your feedback. So please take the new abilities for a test drive and let us know what you think!

New Free Features & Content

All-new Career Mode - Career Mode challenges you to begin the game with the Argo in a random system, with a random group of MechWarriors, with no story missions to rely on for big payouts. Wander the Periphery taking contracts (and Flashpoints, if you own Flashpoint!) and manage and grow your mercenary company to earn a final score. Career mode is played in Ironman mode by default, so it is also possible to “lose” this mode unrecoverably. (But Ironman mode can be disabled, and all the same granular difficulty settings from the campaign can also be adjusted in Career Mode.)

Revamped MechWarrior abilities - We heard a bunch of feedback about the Bulwark ability and how you HAD to take it to finish the campaign and it got us thinking… and then revising Bulwark… and realizing that we should just rebalance the whole dang set of abilities. Then we put it out as an opt-in Beta and got some great feedback - thanks! We’ve been working on it ever since and we’ve released the revised abilities in 1.3. You can read the complete details in this forum post[forum.paradoxplaza.com]. The first time you load any game session after updating to 1.3, you'll see a popup informing you that all of your MechWarrior skills have been refunded, so that you can review the new abilities and respec accordingly.

Revisions to the Reputation System - We’ve increased the rate at which reputation rises and falls so you can really feel the effects of your actions. When you reach the maximum possible reputation with a faction, you become eligible for an Alliance. By entering into an Alliance, you mark yourself an ally of that faction - and an enemy of that faction's enemies.

Faction stores - In addition to making higher difficulty contracts and salvage available, Alliances also allow you to access faction-specific stores containing items you might not find anywhere else.

Black Market stores - If you play your cards right, criminal elements will allow you to buy access to the Black Market, where you’ll find some equipment that fell off a transport…

New Events, including cameos from two Legendary MechWarriors (these were part of our “social sharing” Backer reward from the Kickstarter, and we expect the other two cameos to make it into the next free update.)

New mercenary contracts - now you can take jobs from Pirates!

New inventory items - including rare LosTech from before the fall of the Star League!

New Achievements - 19 new mercenary and story achievements have been added to the campaign and career modes!

VFX improvements on some weapons!
Fixed an issue in the Mech Bay which could cause Filters to be reverted to the default state after deleting a custom 'Mech
Collision and pathing improvements to certain maps
Improvements to beacons and objective communication

Many additional small improvements and bug fixes

Known Issues (to be hotfixed asap)
Flashpoint owners cannot currently play multiplayer games against non-Flashpoint owners.
Turret generator destruction can distort audio in Target Acquisition missions. Restarting the title fixes this.
Skirmish Mech Bay - Deleting any customized 'Mech causes a 'Mech from the custom list to duplicate. This is a visual-only problem and is resolved on re-launch of the game.

Поскольку Harebrained Schemes и Piranha Games выиграли судебный процесс против Harmony Gold некоторое время назад.Unseen Боевые Мехи будут в Battletech в будущем.
Запущенный в 2015 году разработчиком Kickstarter Battletech пообещал двух Unseen мехов: Warhammer и Marauder. Когда именно вы сможете официально использовать Unseen в Battletech, мы пока не знаем. На MechCon 2018 Джордан Вейсман и Митч Гительман сказали, что они придут после наступления лета 2019 года.
https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/battletech-nach-rechtsstreit-unseen-kommen-nach-urban-warfare,3337817.html

Так что Warhammer и Marauder видимо официально выйдут в каком то из DLC, учитывая сколько позиций они зарезервировали под новые DLC.
https://steamdb.info/app/637090/dlc/

Вот список "Unseen" мехов по судам с Harmony Gold: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Unseen
Не менее трети из этого списка прекрасно присутствуют в BATTLETECH. Marauder был в игре и показывался на пре-альфе, на Ютубе можно даже это найти. И было это ещё до последних выигрышей в судах. И нет никаких причин, кроме политики студии, убирать Marauder, не убрав при этом и Тандерболта, Баттлмастера и прочих, кроме как продать это позже в ДЛЦ...

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads%2Flive-battletech-update-1-1-release-notes-updated.1106661%2F

Patch 1.1.0-303R (21 June 2018)
===============================
New Features & Content
MechWarrior customization. Players can now customize the appearance, callsign, name, pronoun, and voice of all non-Ronin MechWarriors in their mercenary company. The starting MechWarriors (Behemoth, Dekker, Glitch, and Medusa) are now considered Ronin.
Granular difficulty settings. Added a wide variety of Granular Difficulty Settings that can be adjusted at any time from the Settings menu.
Lethality - when enabled, MechWarriors that are disabled in combat will always be killed.
'Mech Destruction - when enabled, 'Mechs disabled from Center Torso destruction are permanently lost. This setting is intended for veterans and those seeking a significant challenge.
No Rare Salvage - when enabled, + and ++ items are no longer generated as salvage results (but remain purchasable in stores).
MechWarrior Progression - adjust the amount of experience that MechWarriors gain after each mission.
Advanced MechWarriors - increase or decrease the frequency of more powerful MechWarriors appearing in Hiring Halls in later parts of the game.
Enemy Force Strength - increase or decrease the baseline strength of the enemy forces you'll face in procedural contracts.
Contract Payment - increase or decrease the amount of C-Bills paid by procedural contracts across the game.
Salvage - increase or decrease the amount of salvage you may obtain from negotiation on procedural contracts.
New custom campaign mode. The following added Difficulty Settings can only be adjusted when starting a new campaign (Select "Custom Campaign" when starting a New Game from the Main Menu.)
Ironman Mode. Your campaign is limited to a single save game slot that automatically updates as you progress. Run out of funds or fail a Priority Mission and it's game over!
Unequipped 'Mechs - enable this to make 'Mechs completed out of 'Mech parts start empty instead of with a stock loadout.
Parts for 'Mech Assembly - increase the number of 'Mech parts that must be salvaged to assemble a new 'Mech. This setting is intended for veterans and those seeking a significant challenge.
Accelerate the current action with SPACEBAR. Players can now press SPACEBAR to greatly accelerate the current action. Game speed will return to normal after the action completes.
Speed-Up mode to accelerate all combat actions. Added an option in the Gameplay Settings menu that significantly speeds up combat. Note that this setting is ignored during Multiplayer, and while story dialogue is playing during campaign missions.
General combat speed optimizations. To decrease turn times even when not using new speed-up options. In addition, the settings for combat result pauses and camera transition times have been exposed in CombatGameConstants.json for easier modding.
Cancel combat actions and selections with right-click. Right-clicking in combat (without holding the button down) now acts like the ESC key, backing out of the current action or selection.
MechLab quality-of-life improvements. Including the below additions. See UI section for further UI improvements.
A shortcut button is now available to bring up the Store directly from the MechLab, allowing players to buy weapons, equipment, and ammo without leaving the MechLab. (Must still be in-orbit to purchase items.)
The running total C-Bill cost of a work order is now displayed while the player is working in the MechLab.
Added tooltips for all 'Mech Rating bars in the Mech Bay and MechLab that show and explain more of the specific numbers behind that rating.
Improved warning communication and tooltips in MechLab.
Added Scrap button to the Mech Bay Storage screen, to allow scrapping complete 'Mech chassis directly from Storage.
Gear components now display their stat benefit directly on their component UI (instead of only in their tooltip.)
Current inventory count in Store and Salvage. Item tooltips in the Store and Salvage screens now display how many of that item the player currently has in inventory.
Several new events and improvements to event generation. Including fixing a bug that could cause valid events to appear invalid and not be considered during event generation.
Ultrawide monitor support. BATTLETECH now supports displays with 21:9, 64:27 and 43:18 aspect ratios. Known Issue: a few cosmetic-only bugs still exist in this experience, but given the high-demand for ultrawide support we felt that these minor issues did not need to hold up its release.
[WINDOWS] The BATTLETECH Launcher has exited Beta. This launcher can be used to configure the following options before launching the game: Borderless Windowed Mode, Exclusive Fullscreen Mode, Video Rendering API. We recommend using these options for troubleshooting if you are experiencing hardware or software compatibility issues. The launcher also includes a new automatic crash reporting tab. To use this launcher:
GOG Galaxy: Open the "More" menu next to the Play button and choose Other -> Configure BATTLETECH.
Performance & Compatibility
Improvements to the game start flow. (Splash screens can now be skipped.)
The previous "High" visual quality setting has been renamed to "Ultra". The new "High" quality setting disables screen space reflections and clamps volumetric rendering at higher resolutions.
Significantly improved performance and stability of front-end list interfaces.
Improved stability when alt-tabbing and otherwise losing focus of the title.
Improved protection against spam-clicking.
Combat UI rendering optimizations. These should reduce instances of small hitches during combat.
Optimizations to building destruction system and related fire and smoke VFX sequences.
Audio performance optimizations.
Terrain rendering and tree rendering optimizations.
VFX and water rendering optimizations.
Balance
