The Reptar EPT-C-1 MilitiaMech is missing a PV and Alpha Strike card. It does have a full record sheet in the back of Interstellar Players 3.

Huh. The never-ending game of whack a mole continues. Thank you

The Black Knight 6-RR could use some availability clean-up. It has Mercs, Unique, and Extinct in the CW era, and Unique and Extinct in the Jihad era.

Don't know when the extinction should set in, but definitely shouldn't coexist with the other availabilities.

Minor nitpick here, but the http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7696/centurion-cn10-j has the 'REAR' special as 'Rear'.

GOL-1H Goliath is not listed as available to SLDF or Rim Worlds in the SL era.

SCP-1N Scorpion as well.

This is odd, since both were built for the SLDF, their factory world, Oliver, was in the Terran Hegemony at the time, and at they appear on some relevant RAT's from the era.

Noticing that there are no entries for the construction example Mobile Structures from TO:AUE. If y'all want, I'd like to start getting some of the stats from those (as are pertinent to the MUL) put together. Starting off with...

DropShip Mover
Tonnage: 11,328
Battle Value: 9,168
Cost: 4,573,544,000 C-bills
Rules Level: Advanced
Technology: Inner Sphere
Unit Type: Advanced Support - Mobile Structure
Unit Role: None
Date Introduced: Per TPTB
Era: Per TPTB
Notes: No record sheet.

Work Shown
Cost:
Code: [Select]
COST CALCULATION:

19 hexes x 4 levels x 150 CF = 11,400 CF

Structure Cost: 20,000 [Fortress] * 11,400 [Total CF] = 228,000,000

Engine: 10,000 [Fusion] * 304 [Engine Tonnage] = 3,040,000

Motive System: (10,000 [Ground] * 11,400 [CF] * 2 [MP]) * 19 [Hexes] = 4,332,000,000

Armor: 10,000 [IS Armor] * 38 [Armor Tonnage] = 380,000

Weapons and Equipment: (500,000 [Landing Deck] * 19) + (50,000 [Lift Hoist] * 12) + (2,000 [Searchlight] * 12) = 10,124,000

(228,000 [Structure Cost] + 3,040,000 [Engine Cost] + 4,332,000,000 [Motive System Cost] + 380,000 [Armor Cost] + 10,124,000 [Weapon and Equipment Cost]) * (1 + 11,400 [CF] / 100) = 525,957,560,000

Final Cost: 4,573,544,000 C-bills

Battle Value:
Code: [Select]
BATTLE VALUE CALCULATION:

-=Defensive Battle Rating=-
608 [Armor Factor] * 2.5 = 1,520

11,400 [CF] * 1.5 = 17,100

17,100 * 0.5 = 8,550

Defensive Battle Rating: 18,620

-=Offensive Battle Rating=-
19 [Hexes] * 50 = 950

950 * 0.65 [Speed Factor] = 617.5

8,550 [DBR] + 617.5 [OBR] = 9,167.5

9,167.5 (RUP) = 9,168

Fina Battle Value: 9,168

Why is it that the http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7318/mongoose-gunslinger-mon-66gx model has MAS, but the http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4148/exterminator-ext-4c doesn't? They both have the same stealth technology, but one gets a bonus standing still and the other doesn't? Shouldn't the Exterminator get it as well?

The Vigilant Corvette is not listed for the Free Worlds League in the MUL in Either the Star League or Early Succession Wars eras. There was the FWLS Samhain, which fought in the first Succession war.
As stated in First Succession War, p. 56, "Corey and Wazan"


Not sure if this counts, but the Taurians also had a New Syrtis Carrier during the Star League era that is not listed on the MUL.
As stated in Historical: Reunification War, pp. 67–68, (and possibly p 200).

I was looking for the Generic Expandable Services Vehicle from Handbook House Davion on the MUL. It looks like they had an entry at one point, as MegaMekLab gives it the ID number 4207. Do these still need to be added, or have they been added previously and now removed or folded into something else?

I suspect the Boreas B should have a starting availability later than Succession Wars, given that it is armed with a Bearhunter AC. :)

The line about being widely available only applies to the base model (http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/2445/partisan-heavy-tank), and originates from TRO 3039.

C3 did begin as a Kurita-exclusive piece of gear, but quickly spread to other realms during the clan invasion. Both the Lance Command and Company Command variants were built in Davion space.

http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4111/eagle-egl-r9 Mounts nothing but Medium Lasers and PPCs per the 3075 (Age of War) record sheet, so it should have ENE like the R6 does.

http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4107/eagle-egl-r10 Also mounts mostly Medium Lasers and a Large Laser too so it should have ENE.

Agrotera AGT-1A's listed BV is 1608 but should probably be 1578.

1608 is the value it'd have if the arm AES weapon BV multiplier was 1.5, but that multiplier was errata'd to 1.25, making the final errat'd BV 1578 (MM,Mordel).

The AES discrepancy may affect other AES equipped units (e.g. Mortis 1A & 1P) though not all (e.g. PTR-7D, HCT-7R...).

Skill improvement:

Example: Xanthos XNT-6O
Base PV = 58

Rules:
...an additional increase of 1 more point (per point of Skill value increase) for
every 5 base PV the unit is worth after that.


MUL says 70 points on Skill 3. But it is only 6 points over 52.

'every 5 base PV' -> RAW should it be for every FULL 5 PV over the Base PV

Am I wrong? Or is the wording unclear? Or is the MUL wrong?

Page 20 of Field Manual ComStar suggests ComGuards 1st Army utilizes the Wolf Trap mech and Tokugawa tanks (along with other unnamed Draconis Combine designs), though these are not reflected in the book's RATs (nor in FMUpdates RATs).
Page 26 suggests the ComStar 4th Army utilizes Kanazuchi and Raiden Battle Armor.
(Page 34 suggests 8th Army utilizes Cestus and Thunder Hawk, both of which are available to ComStar in MUL.)

Given the sizes of ComStar Armies, perhaps this makes the units candidates to be listed in ComStar MUL?

I am working on a Liao unit and want to add the Men Shen Omni prime variant. The base point for it is 55 points, that is more expensive than a Timberwolf Prime or a Templar prime assault mech. Is this a miscalculation? The points are for Alpha Strike

TMM 3 is the big difference. High movers get a significant PV tax for their speed and dodgy-ness, especially those that still carry a significant load of armor like the Men Shen
