Change GM Acquire to Bypass Normal Acquisition Requirements

[OrbMonky]

Brief Description *

Something tells me it is checking incorrectly, Clan factions should absolutely be able to get clan BA armor in 3050, especially through GM commands.

3. Steps to Reproduce

1. Turn on all the things that would let you get Clan equipment, GM mode, Clan faction, clan items purchasable, etc, and set year to one when they should be available.
2. Attempt to acquire Clan BA armor.
3. Denied!

I can't even repair the armor with GM commands

There seems to be multiple points of failure at play:

• You have 'allow the purchasing of Clan units and parts' disabled in campaign options.
• You have 'No Clan/Inner Sphere supply sharing' enabled
• You have 'disallow acquiring clan parts from non-Clan factions' enabled.
• For some reason GM acquire is blocked if you have insufficient funds (the armor costs 2 mil, you're just shy of 2 mil)
• When the armor is added to the acquisitions table it's cost balloons to 20 mil (due to your 'Clan Tech Unit Price Multiplier' setting)
• Your clan is set to Mercenary, not Clan

Sorry, I must have re-enabled the blocker settings to keep auto supply from filling me up on clan tech. I did test this with all things allowed except acquire from non clan factions, so I see what you mean about points of failure. I think GM needs to be able to override even w/costs

I concur, GM acquisitions should bypass normal procurement entirely. Unfortunately, due to the shorter 50.03 dev cycle I won't have time to tackle that myself. So this will need to be handled by another dev.

As a side issue, hilariously...


Armor that goes on elementals? No can do. Whole new elemental? Sure thing boss.
