What does it do?

It turns the game into a huge sandbox with hundreds of systems, adds tons of new weapons and gear and makes it much more challenging with enemy AI behavior and morale check rules. Apparently, it also limits the amount of tonnage making lighter mechs more useful.

RogueTech looks very, very good.

I just finished a couple of videos on this. I will almost certainly install it, after I finish the campaign.

Good news is that all lawsuits on content are now settled. See SidAlpha on youtube for the particulars.

Dennis I thought the settlement was still pending for piranah games and that it was not without predujice.
You never know, it may just be a standoff or it may require piranah games to withdraw the unseen mechs.

"Not without prejudice" would mean it is "with prejudice", no?  When a lawsuit is settled or discontinued "with prejudice" it means that the suit can not be refilled, renewed or relitigated. It would be rare to settle a case of this nature where some form of consideration is exchanged, and not have it include a with prejudice provision as part of the settlement.

I don't know anything about this particular suit or the existence of any settlements. Just commenting on the above generally.

Considering the delay, I'd be surprised if Piranha didn't cave and agree to take out the Unseen. 

It was honestly silly for them to have been forging ahead with them in anyway.  I love those old designs, but they've been effectively replaced.

Harebrained made the right call not including them in the first place.

New Kickstarter update is out with news of the new patch and a free copy of Stellaris from Paradox for backers. Nice

Exciting.  I bought Stellaris and all its DLC on the Spring sale.  Weeee!

Settled without prejudice, according to sidalpha, pending final agreement between the two parties. This should allow MW5 to proceed without fear of additional litigation.
