Shouldn't the Wolverine II be removed from being available to the Clans since they would not use it because of the name or do they have a different name for it?

Yes, removed. Thanks.

Based on the cover of Field Manual: Crusader Clans and also that the Clan Jade Falcon held part of York should the Black Lanner be added to the 'Mechs available to Clan Blood Spirit?

Been awhile since I brought these up (half a year+), so maybe it's time to try to get some of these fixed, if possible.

Arbalest 2
Issue: Movement is listed as 10" but it should be 12" since the unit is equipped with MASC. Subsequently the PV is 24 due to the speed increase. Calculations below.

Is the database downloadable anywhere? I'd like to load it into R or python and play with it if possible.

Just a question about the Locust 5M .... here is the Sarna Entry:

LCT-5M
The 5M was a straightforward enhancement of the 3M model, upgrading all of the lasers to extended range models, giving it one Magna Mk VI ER Medium Laser and four Magna Mk IV ER Small Lasers. In addition, the use of a Hermes 240 XL Engine allowed engineers to upgrade the Locust's top speed to 194.4 km/h. Designed by the Word of Blake, each of their Level III units had at least one 5M Locust after its introduction in 3066.[11][42] BV (1.0) = 516,[33] BV (2.0) = 719[43]

And, yes, it does show under WOB for the Civil War era, but does not show in the Jihad era, when clicked on... just wanted to follow up, as if they had this many, one in every level III, then were they ALL changed over to another, or do they still exist in the Militias?


Thanks in Advance,

Nahuris

Thanks for confirming and updating the Arbalest 2. Here's the next one that was reported a while back. I'll go as slow or as fast as you want. But I'll only report one-at-a-time so as not to overwhelm.

Arcas 3
Issue: Both the short-range damage and medium-range damage is listed as 4 with an overheat of 1. They should both, however, be 5 with an overheat of 0. I think the issue may have been that the unit was calculated as if it had standard jump jets, but it has improved, so movement heat is halved, making the unit heat efficient. As a result of the change, PV is impacted as well. I've included the short, medium, and PV calculations below for reference.

unsure if this qualifies but i'll throw it out there anyway

the ZEU-6A is officially listed as a Sniper, but per His Dudeness, Arbiter of Roles™:

Ha, the ZEU-6A looks like it was just an error.

Problem: ZEU-6A is listed as a sniper (in apparent c/p error)

Solution: Reclassify as a Brawler per precedent of other 4/6 assault brawlers with a long range option and a short range weapons suite such as the BLR-1D, BLR-1G, and, BLR-1S

Cronus CNS-3M - introduces 3031.

It has availability as FWL yet the manufacturing site became part of federated commonwealth in the same year it was introduced; 3031

I think availability should also include Davion/Steiner and more than likely mercenary.

Grasshopper:

All entries except the 7P and 7X:  wrong art.

The MUL was updated with Recognition Guide 1 today, so theoretically all of the old models of Grasshopper and the new 8K should feature the new art from the Rec Guide.  All the grasshoppers have the original art and the 8K is currently blank.

The art from the 7P and 7X Grasshoppers is a judgment call that I'm not qualified to make--maybe they should get the new art and maybe they shouldn't.

We will likely update the art for old units at some point, but this is incorrect to call the old Grasshopper art wrong.  It's still the Grasshopper art.  Thanks. we really don't need a bunch of these listing every KS 'mech.  We'll switch over when we can.

Understood, lets just chalk it up to being excited for the new art.  I looked up the other two entries, the 7P and 7X, and since they have a Torso mounted cockpit is it fair to say they won't be switched over when the time comes?

Cheers,

Mad.

Not anywhere near a "final answer" but yes.  I suspect anything that has specific art for it, as being substantially different from other models, will remain with their own art.  Project Phoenix designs will stay with Project Phoenix, TR Prototypes will stay with their unique art.  I'm sure there will be discussions/arguments over specifics :).

The Tatsu D is for some reason listed as being available to the Capellan Confederation during Late Republic. None of the other configurations are this, and in the other eras availability is "Dracs, RotS, Nova Cats", which makes me think the CapCon is a mistake and should be actually the Draconis Combine.

Master Unit List error - Dominator 2 stat card error.

Ref: Recognition Guide Vol.1 p7-8, 24-25
http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7435/dominator-2

Just a minor clerical error: the stat card gives the Dominator 2 six (6) Structure boxes when it should only have four (4), matching the Standard variant (no apparent change to equipment; retains the clan XL Engine and Supercharger does not decrease Structure value in the ASC).
BV/PV look otherwise accurate.

 After the Jihad the design according to the MUL is a Snow Raven exclusive.
According to RG vol 2 page 10 the Stone Rhino is manufactured by the Hell Horses on Csesztreg.
I think there is  a confusion with the 7 which is more likely to be a Raven design.

More of a question. According to RG vol 2 the ostscout 8J is manufactured on Robinson a world recaptured by the Federated Suns (by RotS forces) in 3149.
Should it be added to the FS list as well?

None of the availability have been changed to incorporate the recognition guides. We will go through and change them after we get another project done.

I am sorry I don't understand. The MUL has been updated (and I am very happy for that!) with the units from the first two volumes of the Recognition Guides. We have availability for the Dominator and the Sojourner for example.

Brand new units: sometimes. Existing units like the Coyotl and still listed as Extinct. We need to go through all of the old units and look for the changes.

Units like the Coyotl weren't resurrected in the Recognition Guides, they were in TRO: Golden Century, which has not been incorporated into the MUL yet.

The Ostscout 8J is a brand new unit. I don't want to argue or bother. I just want to support the project. If the Recognition Guide units availability in the MUL is not
yet open to review just say so and I will wait until the MUL team is ready. It's a great resource and I just want to contribute.

The Behemoth was already changed.
Jan is taking about longer term projects, they need to be done but don’t mean we are not dealing with any issues with the Recognition Guides now.

Ostscout I need to check with the RG developer and haven’t even reached out to him about it yet.
