New Development Snapshot 0.45.3 for Megamek, MegaMekLab, and MekHQ

What restrictions do you mean?

I was fiddling around, hoping to make a 400,000 ton Warship with 4 Docking Hardpoints, only to be restricted to 2. I also looked back at a Jumpship design I had thrown together for giggles at 190,000 tons, again with 4 Docking Hardpoints, only this time I found one of the Hardpoints had gone missing and MML wouldn't let me put it back in.

I can't duplicate the 4 docking hardpoints.  Depending on how old that jumpship file is you might need to remake it.

I had made it while using 0.45.1

I'd suggest remaking that from scratch.

The maximum number of hardpoints the ship can have is 1/50k tons, so the jumpship has a maximum of three. The original code was missing a zero and allowing 1/5k tons, but that was fixed in 0.45.3. So the removal of one from the jumpship is correct. A 400k ton warship should be able to have eight, so I can't see a reason for limiting you to two but since Hammer tried to reproduce it and couldn't my guess is that there's something wrong in the unit file.

Easy enough fix for the Jumpship. Just add another 10k tons and that clears the problem right up.

I'll give the Warship a try later, see if that still happens. Maybe switch the rules level back and forth if it pops back up again.

Edit: Yep, that fixed it.

A Civilian Help mission won't start, no matter who I deploy. When I click the start game button it won't even open the next dialog.

Two missions before that worked fine, the contract didn't give me any more missions in the next months until the enemy routed anyway.

As mentioned further up the thread known bug and fixed for the next release.

I read it all ... but it was a while ago, must have forgotten.  :D
