Reactor Ops Update v0.9.3
🕑 Added 2025-01-14 07:06:30 +0000 UTCHowdy, Commanders—
Cole Mercer here, ready to power up the latest and greatest from the Reactor Ops lab: v0.9.32! And let me tell ya, it’s packed tighter than a fusion core with upgrades, new gadgets, and a whole lotta polish.
First up, we’re rolling out user accounts, giving you a way to make Reactor Ops truly your own. Then there’s the new Command Page, where you’ll start organizing forces like a proper field marshal—complete with the new Hangar Vault for cataloging your models and the OpFor Generator for cookin’ up forces on the fly.
But we didn’t stop there. Exportin’ to MegaMek now runs smooth as silk with .mul files, and the revamped Unit Details page? It’s got enough data to make even the most detail-oriented Commander grin.
A quick shoutout to our Patreon supporters—you folks are the gears keepin’ this machine runnin’, always pushin’ us to try new things. Not part of the crew yet? Now’s as good a time as any to jump in and help drive this thing into the future.
—Cole Mercer, Chief Reactor Engineer
Major Features
1. User Accounts
You can now create and log into a Reactor Ops user account, laying the groundwork for more advanced force-building features in future updates.
2. The "Command" Page
A central hub to oversee your forces, with more functionality (like managing Saved Forces and formations) coming in v0.9.4.
Two new features available now:
Hangar Vaults
Catalog and save lists of your physical models, including official minis, 3D-printed, or proxies.
Use Vaults to filter searches based on your collection.
How It Works:
Narrow search results to units you own.
Combine Vault filters with Era, Faction, Weight Class, and more.
Ideal for collectors and players focused on WYSIWYG armies.
OpFor Generator
Create random forces for narrative scenarios or gameplay.
Customization options:
Tech Base, Era, Unit Type, Hangar Vault, and more.
BV prioritization ensures forces align with your parameters.
3. Export to MegaMek
Forces are now exported as .mul files for seamless use with MegaMek and Flechs Sheets.
Retired the old zip file export containing individual MegaMek data files.
4. Patreon Integration
Exclusive features for supporters:
Hangar Lists Upgrade: Save up to 12 lists with 100 models each.

Great Turtle GTR-2 Fix: Adding this unit no longer crashes the app - I have to admit it’s pretty funny that this is the unit that did it…

Thanks for the feedback - as well as for supporting the project. The FAQ topic on the Hangar Vault can answer some of your questions: https://www.reactorops.com/faq/#hangar-vault Please feel free to continue the discussion in General Chat - that's the best place to share your ideas regarding feature changes.

Why set a hard limit? I have nearly 200 models, not sure why I would have to split them amongst different vaults - just makes things awkward for no reason. I also have duplicate models / force packs. I haven't seen where the number of models can be updated, but haven't been looking very hard yet ...

As a Patron you get 100 models per Vault

Is there or will there be a way to update the model limit on a vault? I'd love to go above 40 so I can have a single vault for all of my models.
