Happy Fourth of July to all Americans! To celebrate, here's an update to the optional files for Skill Tree Rebuild that adds extra fireworks!
Mechs
Previously, there were only two MechDef files for people who wanted stock mechs with the non-stock mortars to play with.
Well, hold on to your butts, because now there's 20 heavy mechs that'll come equipped with mortars.

Ranged Push Back has been updated with new code to execute push back to the first phase. This will allow you to use any ability to push enemies back to the start of the counter, in essence disabling them.
Note that other abilities can give them back the ability to act by pushing them to the final phase, so be careful how you use it!
By default, no skill has been set for standard and active probe versions.
