Here is to the best of my current knowledge the November road map of features and changes. I will continue to modify this list as things change.
---
Inner Sphere 'Mech Quirks - not much more I can say at this point that you don't already know. This is in final test now and looks set to release as scheduled on Nov 4th. I will re-iterate that this was just the initial full pass on IS quirks. I am sure player feedback and data once live will cause us to make adjustments. I also know we will be going through and doing deeper passes on movement quirks and others.
*Negative quirks on the Timber Wolf S Omnipod's have been reduced now that the fixed slot Jump Jets have been implemented.
Release Date: Nov 4th Patch.

Rewards 2.0 Bug fixes - There are several items needing fixing including the ability to farm your own TAG laser with your non Missile type weapons. There were also problems with Flanking and a few other items. Look for a number of bug fixes in the next patch.
Release Date: Nov 4th Patch.
---
Balance Changes - With the new quirk system about to hit, we made a concerted effort to address a number of balance issues:
- LRM damage reduced from 1.1 to 1.0 - legacy item from ages ago that was past due to revert to lore values.
- Inner Sphere AMS ammo per ton has been increased from 1K to 2K to match the clans. This should encourage more AMS usage among IS players.
- Significant changes have been made to all of the IS and Clan lasers, most notably the range on Small lasers and significant changes to all Pulse Lasers.
- PPC and ERPPC have each had their velocity increased by 100. This means they move to 950 and 1050 respectively.
- BAP – We have increased the counter ECM aspect of BAP from 150m to 360m to give more value to the 1.5 ton item and provide more effective counters to ECM.
Release Date: Nov 4th Patch.
