Patch 2.24.12 Applied:
Quick turnaround on this one. Details of what's included are as follows:

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where the Turret weight was not being shown in the readout for Combat Vehicle BASE OmniVehicles.
  • Fixed an issue with superheavy 'Mechs where the proper amount of ammo ,when multiple were stacked in the same slot, was not properly output in MegaMek files.

Changes
  • Changed how information related to armor (type, technology, and model); both main and location-specific, is stored in the database for easier, more consistent, retrieval.
  • Created an Alpa Strike Stat Block table in the Summary section that displays all Alpha Strike stats as they are updated when designing units.
  • Added the Combat Vehicle Escape Pod for use with all combat vehicle types.

NOTE: Any forces or units impacted by the above fixes and/or changes have had their stats recalculated to ensure accuracy.

================================================================================================
Overview:
    It's an Alpha Strike design.  Today's recipe called for an annoying fast and dodgy thing
    that can hit with a satisfying "Thud".

Capabilities:
    On the mobility side we have 20 inches of movement for +4 TMM.  It's a protomech so another
    +1.  And it's a Glider for an additional +1.  Total of +6.  Which means even at short range
    there is only a 1/6 chance of being hit.  Admittedly any hit will probably kill it, but even
    then that's worthwhile as your opponent will probably waste firepower in doing so.
    
    Offensively,  3 ER Smalls and 3 SRM-1s with 10 rounds of ammo each provide just barely
    enough firepower for the short and medium damage values to be rounded up to 3.
    
    An interesting failure in conversion is that in classic rules it can't actually fire all of
    its weapons at the same time,  and the conversion process doesn't care.

Deployment:
    Actual use?  More iffy.  A single point is 145 PV all by itself.  The question is, how big
    of a game is needed to make that kind of investment worthwhile.  Then again, this is me.  I
    find it depressingly easy to make high value units.
