Vindicator VND-3LD (Dao)
Should show the image of the Vindicator from XTR Liao. Currently it shows the standard one.

Suggestion: include the price in C-Bills in the information listed for each unit.

I would have to second this request.  The MUL is great for tournament play, but for those of us running role playing campaigns the price of a unit is often of greater concern then it's battle value.

I realize it would be quite a large task.  To share the work, maybe the code could be altered to allow us to enter the C-bill cost.  (probably too big a security hole I'd imagine)

With Piloting and Gunnery Skills for the unit list included, it should be named which value is Piloting and which is Gunnery.
Currently only two drop-downs are included togehter with a field for the pilot's name - all marked as warrior.

Is it really that unclear which is which?  The default of 4 and 5 doesn't help that?

IMHO, yes.

While maybe some new players try to explore the MUL, not familiar with the standard Piloting / Gunnery Settings
and also after "playing" with different values there is no default setting anymore.

I have to agree with Demos on this one.  It's probably clear enough to a veteran who thinks about it but a label, even something as simple as a G/P note, wouldn't be amiss.

Silent until now, but I'm gonna weigh in. I agree with the idea of including even a simple 'G/P'. The target audience for this isn't the veteran users, but the first timers. Doing so reduces the unfamiliarity with the 'process' of the online MUL and is one less reason they won't come back a second time. Veterans won't be irked by its inclusion and newcomers will have a proverbial lightbulb that glows that much brighter.

OK, I have added an indicator to the column header so that it is clear that these are Name ( Gun / Pilot ) inputs.

None of the unit images is working.

Warhammer X7 image links to standard Warhammer image instead of the actual image, should link to the same image as the WHD-10CT

The CRD-4L is exactly the same as the CRD-4D.  So the CRD-4L Record Sheet is in RS3085 PP, it's just called the CRD-4D.  We haven't found a good way to note this yet.  VTR-9D and VTR-9K is the same thing.

A  similar problem exists with the THE-F & THE-S Thorn. RS3039u contains the sheet for the THE-S which is identical to the THE-F for which no sheet exists. I would suggest a note in the source column where the source TRO(RS) are listed stating the designation the mech is included in the RS under eg. for the THE-F TR3039 (RS3039u - sheet labelled THE-S).

Not sure if this is the right place but the PRC-1N Porcupine is noted in the MUL as having a BV of 870 but the sheet has a BV of 880 (RS3055Uu). Will also post this to the errata for RS3055Uu as I am unsure which is correct.

COM-1C Commando - is this functionally identical to the COM-1B Commando? They have the same BV and are listed as being from the same source books & both listed as TR3050 & RS3050U-I but other than here on the MUL I have been unable to find any mention of the COM-1C Commando.

Phoenix Hawk IIC 4

Should use the TROPP artwork per the RS3085 Phoenix sheet.

Phoenix Hawk IICs 5, 6, 8

All should use the Phoenix Hawk IIC 7 artwork.

The ability to alter the search display order would be nice.  If I want to find the most expensive or cheapest variant of a unit it would make it easier.
All the world's a joke and the people merely punchlines.

The era and availability information for the standard and MG variants of the various APCs is missing.  I'm just going to link to the unit families to save some typing.  The variants that are off are missing an icon on the list.

Armored Personnel Carriers
Heavy Hover APC
Heavy Tracked APC
Heavy Wheeled APC

Baboon (Howler) 3 "Devil" uses the art for the Baboon (Howler) (Standard) from TRO3055

As it is a refit of the Baboon (Howler) 2 it should use the art from TRO3055U

Source TRO for the Cossack C-1FC is listed as TRO 3060. While the base model the C-SK1 Cossack is described in TRO 3060 no variants are mentioned. The C-1FC is described in a milispecs article from BattleCorps.

Solution: Change Source TRO to BattleCorps.

Padilla Tube Artillery Tank (Standard), (LTC), (Thumper)

All three are marked as only being available to the Republic of the Sphere.  On page 32 of TRO3085, Aldis Industries is described as selling the Padilla Tube Artillery Tank "to all non-Clan factions in the Inner Sphere".  At a minimum, that sounds like it should be on the Inner Sphere General list.

Suggestion: Include a cardstock image of the 'Mech on the unit page to allow players to use the 'Mech in combat until they get a mini.

Col. Hengist mentioned this idea in another thread, but I wanted to be sure you saw it.

Battletech transport rules take a very feline approach to moving troops in a combat zone: If they fits, they ships.

Source TRO for the Enforcer III ENF-6NAIS & Enforcer III ENF-6Ma is listed as TRO 3060. While the base model the ENF-6M is described in TRO 3060 no variants are mentioned. The ENF-6NAIS is described in a milispecs article from BattleCorps. I am unaware of any TRO entry for the Enforcer III ENF-6Ma.

Solution: Change Source TRO for ENF-6NAIS Enforcer  to BattleCorps. Unsure as regards ENF-6Ma Enforcer III.
