Syllogy, in NGNG Podcast #68, Bryan Ekman confirmed an Archipelago Map (mentioned @ 47.45). You might want to add that to your list. Thanks.

ThomasMarik - Since we are able to freely modify our mechs anyway; How are Omnimechs going to work?
A: At this point we are not ready to discuss Clan Technology. We are getting very close to a final design, so look forward to a more official announcement in April/May.

Clan Technology Update - April/May

[Syllogy]

Clan Tech was pushed back to after launch according to one of the latest Ask the Devs.

He's not saying Clan tech is coming in April/May, just an update about it.

Yep. What I am saying is that Clan Info has been pushed back.

Here is the quote from the latest Ask the Devs answers:

Logan Doyle: Can I ask when Clans will be able to be a playable faction?
A: No official timeline has been announced for Clans yet. We plan to reveal more information after Launch in late Summer.

I'm surprised the Strip Mech and Max Armor buttons aren't already in game, easy as they are to do, and they don't break any game balance, I wonder why its so low on the list...

[BlueSanta]

Have fun digging through the AMA, Syllogy.

UI 2.0 "late summer" now.
Possible heavily urbanized map after Volcano/Archipelago.
Endgame content ("epic").
Various **** being looked at for tuning.
Mech #20 within 30 days.
Etc.

Thanks, I'll do some hunting and re-arranging.

Ah-hah! Found it. It really looks like they didn't know where to put this.... Training Grounds > Guides > Getting Started...? This seems like it should be part of the NEWS SECTION

Very weird now that they have removed General Discussion... I feel pretty lost because it was about anything, and was like a little bit of everything in one place. Oh well...

• Map Grid will be re-adjusted to be equal size regardless of Map Size.

Hasn't this been implemented? I think the grid squares are standardized to 500 meters now for all maps.

Bryan mention in the AMA event he did on Reddit that there'd be new consumables coming in May/June.

Now what those will be is another question...

Word on the street and evidence within files implies that some sort of reconnaissance drone is coming soon as one.

EDIT: and the speculation has been for a long time than MASC will be implemented as one too.

The devs have repeatedly said this might be coming with the Solaris expansion. When is that coming? A long time from now, unfortunately. We might get it within two years.

UAV is the only consumable in the files not yet accessible to the public. MASC is not present as a stub module or consumable in the files. Any work they are doing on consumables after UAC, they aren't tipping their hand.

Which is why I said it's speculation.

A loooot of big stuff planned for May... It makes me tremendously sad when I think about how much of it will probably just be pushed back... Again.

[BlueSanta]

Syllogy, based off of what you have/haven't moved in the latest changelog, you seem to still feel that UI 2.0 is May/June (which is what is was supposed to be). Do you feel that assumption is correct after the AMA, when "late summer" was stated?

[zraven7]

Wait, they aren't planning on re-implementing knockdown until full release? Isn't that something that oughta be playtested a lil first?
