Manage equipment
Company Information > Equipment lists owned units. It does not show a generic merchant-purchase warning or ask players to repeat model matching after acquisition. Choose Convert a Mek on an eligible unit card to open conversion for that saved unit. The button appears only when another same-family variant passes current technology and source-value checks; destroyed units and units in locked unfinished tracks do not offer it.
Merchant purchases save the specific physical inventory model used by the discount quote with the purchased unit and receipt. Starting equipment rechecks availability and assigns models when committed. Printable starting choices explicitly record no physical model. These acquisition workflows do not require a separate player model-matching step.
The equipment register does not contain the independent track-roster panel. Prepare rosters through the contract/mission workflow rather than treating roster selection as part of equipment acquisition.
GMs retain Add equipment (GM only) and Review model assignments (GM maintenance). Historical units with missing relationships need evidence-based correction; no paint scheme or discounted model assignment is inferred from a unit name alone. Other players see the read-only register without conversion or maintenance controls.
Unit searches accept both reporting and Clan names when the MegaMek source explicitly supplies both. For example, Mad Cat and Timber Wolf (also Timberwolf) find the original variants; combine either name with Prime, A or another configuration. Suggestions and unit-library results show both names where available. Selecting a result retains its exact canonical design and source ID; this does not rename saved units or combine distinct designs such as Mad Cat II.
Unit suggestions show every matching variant across result pages. Use <<, <, the Page number, > or >> below the suggestions to browse; entering or changing a page number loads that page in place. The range and total show which matches are visible. Paging keeps the query and unrelated unsaved entries. Aces also retains the search page when returning from campaign overview. Changing the name or unit type restarts at page 1. If a read fails, use Retry this search page; a lookup never adds or purchases a unit. Select the exact variant, then submit its unit form.
Open Edit record to change existing equipment. Save changes updates the record on this page when JavaScript is available. If the campaign changed, your entries remain in the form; review the current information before choosing Save again. If you change a field while saving, the page identifies those newer edits as unsaved. If the response is interrupted, reload and review the record before trying again.
