Damn, I could have used that intelligence briefing for my current contract.

That's cool 😎

So not possible or worth having this ability to edit units prior or after a regular megamek mission if we're saving units?

You can edit units in the lobby of MegaMek, as well as in game view the GM mode. Unless I'm missing something.

Coming Soon to MekHQ.

StratCon and the Logistics: The Supply Chain Ahead
Typically these come with more warnings besides you can never go back.

Safe for migrating mid contract?
Safe for users who have not yet used Stratcon?
Does it contain other 50.0+ goodies that haven't released yet or is it a fork dedicated just to Supply Chain?

No, you should always avoid switching anything mid-contract to many variables in a campaign are set when the contract is accepted.

Safe for users who have not yet used Stratcon?
Safe yes. But you'll be learning an in development system while learning a new game style. You'll likely find it easier to learn Stratcon from the Milestone once that is mastered, then move into a system like this.

Does it contain other 50.0+ goodies that haven't released yet or is it a fork dedicated just to Supply Chain?
Each artifact includes code from the 0.50.01 Dev cycle up to the point where the artifact was built.

StratCon and the Logistics: The Supply Chain Ahead
Is the supply drop system intended just as a replacement to the 'free' bonus parts, or is it a replacement for the entirety of the usual procurement/part availability cycle while a player is on contract? Because it sounds like its angling to be the latter.

It fully replaces bonus parts, and is intended to be a supplement to the usual procurement process while on contract. We have plans to eventually update normal procurement to be in line with CamOps but do not have a current timeline.

I like the feature as described.  It'll make it a lot easier to have the parts on hand by automating procurement than having to remember what's needed for 12+ combat units.

I'm sure you all have thought of this but if this is the only way we are going to get parts in the future it would be nice to be able to tell my admins, "Hey see if you can find some Gauss Rifles that we can put on those old 3025 mechs."  Then the game could know to think I had say 6 phantom Gauss Rifles when checking the list of equipment that it is seeing what to put in the supply run that I'm bidding on. 

Also is a system like this going to replace the market for buying fresh mechs and other units?

This looks cool - I think.

I might be too dumb to understand everything I'm seeing. Maybe somebody smart could make a dumb video.

Or it may be way more intuitive than what I am seeing.

If reworking the GM commands, can we get the Princess Ignore command on a right click menu somehow?

I'm really looking forward to the orbital bombardment command and the nuclear weapon optimization :) 

I hope the "devastation" criteria get carried over to aerospace crashes since it's kinda overkill to run a lengthy damage report for a light aerospace fighter lawndart.  It took a few hundred points of damage on the crash, so I doubt there's going to be anything usable remaining.

Alright, maybe there is due to the canon salvage rules?  I don't have those in front of me, but I think it would be a good game option to have.

I use princess a lot. I'm digging the ability to designate targets on the fly.
Now if only we could get her to walk to specific hexes without targets.

I feel like Princess is getting closer to being able to follow honor duel rules.  If we could tell her which targets to attack with specific units and prohibit stuff like rear facing attacks, then that would be awesome!  Even better if it could all be automated  azn

Imagine MegaMek being the first BattleTech-related video game to enforce Zellbrigen, even for AI players!
