Patch 2.24.13 Applied:
This was done last night, but just getting around to making the post today. Details of what's included are as follows:

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where performing a search on Alpha Strike damage values would sometimes cause the processing dialog to hang.

Changes
  • Changed how information related to structure and communications (type, technology, and model), are stored in the database for easier, more consistent, retrieval.
  • Changed the Source field (available to Admins only) to be a lookup instead of a dropdown.
  • Added the Minesweeper as equipment now available to combat vehicles.
  • Added a '#' button just to the right of the 'Add Equipment' button during design of units. This will allow you to quickly add a user-specified quantity of the equipment currently selected. This is particularly useful when wanting to add many shots of ammo on ProtoMechs.

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

================================================================================================
Overview:
    Initially concepted in 3055 as the "Raiden", the Mech was the brainchild of Precentor
    Martial Anastasius Focht. His proposal called for a fast-moving Heavy Battlemech in the same
    vein as the Dragon. A machine which could perform a multitude of combat roles and survive
    thanks to a combination of superior speed and heavy armor. Internal bickering over doctrinal
    issues and the loss of Terran-based manufacturing firms delayed production of the machine,
    even after the design was finalized. When the machine finally reached production, it was
    renamed Focht, in honor of the retired Precentor Martial. The production FCT-7 would see
    extensive use by the ComGuards during the Blakist Jihad, and would prove itself to be a
    rugged and reliable option for virtually any assignment.
