• Character Roles in Squads

  A stealth update that makes it possible to choose the character you want to use as the Lead Mechanic in the squad. So, now you can take your highly-skilled Mech, and still allow a character with lower skill to get the training.

  Also in this update is the ability to set which camp's flag the squad fly (who they will fight for) in any PvP encounters assuming PvP is On, of course.
• Fixes and Rules Changes
  • Added a 3rd line of over-car text (use F4 to cycle it)

  Some more work to make PvP workable.

  A couple of small bug fixes (Tactical narrative issue) and improvements to the new tutorial, but mostly this is about...

  The return of the 'old' Camera Auto-follow behavior!
