It’s also much easier to save out custom presets and restore them in a few clicks.
• A context menu has been added that allows faster direct access to all areas of the mech lab such as Camo Customization, Weapon Groups, or Mech Details.

• Battlegrid operates in pause mode in Single Player mode. This allows players breathing time to administer more complex queued orders and makes issuing commands much easier. Pause mode can be toggled to real time with a button press.

• We’ve updated the control options for gamepad with a Mercenaries-like control scheme that no longer requires the use of a weapon toggle. It will appear in Gamepad options as ALT-Config 3.

• Star mates do not cause friendly fire, but we have added an option that disables player driven damage to friendlies.

• Improved performance and stability with many small bug fixes and optimizations.

• Pilots now have fully animated faces instead of helmets with mouth coverings.
