With less than 14 days to go? Nah, let's just keep these threads alive until they're completely irrelevant (for realsies) so we can start a proper post-mortem of an actual release. Not that I expect YJ to be dead an buried, but still...
I was going for a summary in this one (but I'm not the one to make it), and yes it definately need a new thread when the list actually drops.
Uprising threads, Invincibles threads... we may not be able to supplant the Hyperpower (yet), may not be able to carry out even semi-competent counterinsurgency operations, but there is no doubt Yu Jing can post. ^_^
Actually between 6 and 9 days. Koni has said it won't happen on 30th because it's a local holyday. That leaves 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th as the only possible dates.
OK, thank you for that, I had not seen the Suryat profiles. But for some reason the Santiago knights got ~4pts cheaper, so there may be a points adjustment lurking in the 3O update.
Hospitaller also got 1 or 2 points cheaper and had their AP CCW upgraded to the more expensive DA CCW across the board at the same time. Add to that the Raicho had its stats adjusted to exactly match the Guijia, but retains the costly Morat rule (which amounts to a cost reduction of about 3 to 5 points), I think there is something that's changed in CB's formula that hasn't been implemented on the older units yet.
If it has, I sure hope it gets implemented at the end of the month. Which would make sense, at least to me: ''Why implement the changes now... when we can implement them a week later next to all the other changes we plan on implementing anyways?''

Now the wait to see which profiles these are... Any of them are actually pretty scary - burst 3 missile launcher is pretty heinous.
This one bothers me. If the Son-Bae isn't getting an FTO tag then there's the possibility that it's not getting a regular ML profile and is stuck with Guided. Guided has a big problem in Season X because of the prevalence of deployable civilian models being able to block template attacks, which happens to be another issue the Liu Xing faces that people like to overlook.
Druze and Ikari get the choice of either ML or SML. OS only get the option of ML, though it pays a premium over the (unlinkable) SML. Guess we'll find out soon.
Ran into this myself a few months back, with the GML not being able to finish off a Datatracker hiding behind a HVT. Wouldn't have swung the game, but sucked nonetheless. On the bright side, there is a chance the Son-Bae may pick up a Feurbach or HGL profile or something as well as a ML for more variety.
