One current design value
Current base BV and Alpha Strike PV come from the selected exact MTF/BLK design source. Cards, builder previews, starting equipment, merchant and OpFor choices, current equipment displays, roster checks and new purchases use the same calculation. Crew upgrades, card TIC choices and miniature discounts do not change those base values.
Select the exact imported design or an authorized custom upload. A missing, ambiguous or unsupported source cannot be replaced by a price from MUL, a manual cache or a different variant. An unavailable value is not a free unit: selection and payment checks reject it. The GM or administrator must resolve the source or software diagnostic; players are not asked to verify BV manually.
MUL pages remain reference material. Applying a reference recalculates the current unit from its source; fetched values do not become combat-value overrides. Custom construction review records notes and does not override calculated BV/PV.
Manual miniature metadata remains useful for names, chassis, paint and role information, but cannot set current combat values. Import historical CSV evidence without treating its recorded values as a second current pricing engine.
Pricing and discounts
SP prices use base BV, or base PV multiplied by 40 for Alpha Strike. Ordinary salvage selling value is half that amount before repair deductions. Scrap uses its separate campaign rule. Conversion sale credit and the eligible published-model discount remain conversion rules, not changes to BV/PV.
The painted percentage uses free company-color physical stock. The smaller unpainted percentage applies only to merchant purchases. Printable designs and OpFor paint schemes supply no player miniature discount. Printable designs receive no physical miniature discount. Starting-BV discounts still require the campaign option. Conversion combines its applicable discounts with a maximum of 100 percent and never pays excess sale credit as cash.
A purchase quote and the acquired unit retain the same calculated source values. Inventory, authorization, funds and the approved price are checked before posting. An engine or inventory change can require a fresh quote or renewed draft acceptance.
Updates and history
After installing this release, the administrator runs Database updates. Current equipment values are reconciled to the source engine with before/after audit evidence; editable OpFor values are refreshed and changed plans return to draft. Source diagnostics appear in administrator audit/log evidence.
Posted Warchest transactions, miniature assignments, pilot progression, purchase receipts, completed mission snapshots and finalized salvage awards retain their historical evidence. Reconciliation does not issue refunds, replay purchases or change a completed starting grant.
Dashboard totals show Unavailable if a required current source value is missing, rather than presenting an incomplete total or a conflicting old value.
Assigned models during refits
A same-family refit keeps an existing physical model allocation, but an already assigned model cannot receive the free-painted-stock discount again. The separate published-model conversion rule and standard sale credit still apply. The smaller printed discount applies only to merchant purchases.
