Flashpoints of the Inner Sphere - Release 1.6.5
Changes
-
Added new, repeatable, flashpoint "Garrison Duty" which acts as time skip flashpoint - you start the flashpoint and can decide whether you want to jump 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 years in time (depends on the date in game). The cut of date is around April 3049. I decided making this flashpoint after people complained that triggers for Legacy of Kerensky may cause weird stuff when used with Time Skip mod. Also more immersive way to skip time.
-
Added emblems for certain factions in-game. This is small improvement.
