FYI just heard the random side thrust percentage bug is being fixed so the barghest might behave as intended soon 👍

Vanilla Shivan bombers don’t carry CMs? Huh… something else I will need to look at and add

That's were the Gorgon comes in - but its not in RoR (though it will be in patch notes for the balance patch)

Speaking of the balance patch:
Because to major changes already made it in the last patch, I am mpving the time line to TBD.

Delayed is not denied, but there has been a logistical issue in RL (tl;dr I am still not able to travel back to Germany to get some of old gear.)

ps.  By some of these changes you might be able to guess some future content .... but don't get too hyped up about hypotheticals

Version 1.1.5 is live

This update contains to two bugfixes, thanks to the collaboration of Envoybane and Rajjia (who will recieve additional credit in an upcoming "Restored Content Patch" - more on that at a later date):

1. Resolved an error message during boot by fixing the syntax of mogw-ship.tbm

2. Fixed the lockout-out criteria in species.tbl

I am also investigating a reported issue that Phoenix V#MoGW is not available in certain load-outs in campaign mode.
