Well now OGPlanet is rolling out a new line of updates and afer looking at their site for a peek at the notes I gotta say it's gonna be a good one. Sadly we won't be seeing any new S ranks yets (my guess is they're dialing the S ranks back after releasing the Strike Freedom Gundam), but we will be seeing the usual two new capsule machines as well as several interesting features.

I'm not talking about new stickers, units or shop items (which all will be included but is somewhat expected with these patches), I'm talking UI fixes. And it's about time too, we'll be seeing new features such as:


 * New unit storage tabs
 * I'm hoping like the one shown on their facebook post not too long ago.


 * New graphics option
 * Only time will tell if this means we can see the RX-0 in stunning HD or some other options.


 * Mission grades
 * Because everyone's a critic.


 * Mission emblems
 * About time too, I was getting bored trying to click greyed out options.


 * Rank System Control
 * The ranking system has been at the receiving end of a minor overhaul, including changes that prevent low level players from gifting to high level players, channel blocks based on rank, EXP requirements and where you can get EXP.


 * Man vs. Mobile Suit
 * Ok so this might not be TF2, but a new feature will allow a new mode called AI Mode. Now you can go shoot up CPU units in a team or on your own to your heart's content.


 * More items
 * Yes OGPlanet has decided we can haz cheeseburger, kinda. This new patch means you may get drops from missions and PvP depending on your performance. That works out in my head as better effort=better rewards.

These new features will be available after the overhaul finishes at 14:30 (UTC), 8:30 AM (PDT). Happy trails.
