Messing with the trains in skirmish is AWESOME.

Where these trains?

Also, the dreadnought will be terrifying with a buff: it's still as hard to kill as before!!

I have found several problems more than I found before, some might just be me, but here they are anyway

1) MEDIC DOES NOT WORK. It doesn't do anything, do I have to give it orders and de-select it?

Try harder!

2) Dreadnought is worthless now, Mauler shotgun kills it in a clip if you are above it. it is stupidly weak, skeletons with blunderbusses in B13 where more dangerous, they could at least pace above me to death.

Eh, true.

3) of the absurd number of new maps (I say half a lot because most of them fall under multiple categories)

You don't have to play any of them. They are gifts - things for you to play with, as Data says. Stop complaining or else we'll all get less next time.

A) Half of them don't have ANY gold

There are many uses for a map that do not require gold.

B) half of them have pre-placed brains so I can't place actors or anything

Maybe that's the point?

C) half of the maps are so huge that I get 4FPS with CTRL+O

Get a better computer.

D) One of the maps has so much space and so many things on it that my brain randomly explodes

Get a mac. I have never had this problem.

E) One of the maps is so short that the AI just flys back off the top without dropping anything off.
F) TRAINS! The train map is broken, the train does nothing, the AI LANDS on it, and when it hits a station my game freezes dead for a good minute and a half, then it jumps back to realtime, and freezes again when it starts moving. I think the timers for sending it to move might loop or some crap until its out of the areas, you need to make it change what its doing, then STOP CHECKING for X amount of time, so that it doesn't hang.

Again, works fine for me.

4) I installed twice, Once over my previous install from B20 which has always been written over. and a second clean install. My clean install crashes more often than my not clean install. My clean install with NO mods crashes because of problems with dreadnoughts. I get the old "We're sorry but cortex command has encountered an error and needs to close" error. you know, the same one caused by certain materials and collisions. dreadnought shooting dreadnought = very bad. crashed my game in 3 seconds flat.

5) the missions are either stupidly easy, or infuriatingly impossible.

You've been playing for awhile, so you obviously have no need to learner missions. The harder missions are probably geared towards us fans who've been waiting and playing awhile and need a challenge.

Magino (or however its spelled.
.. bad name in my book): is near impossible

It is absolutely possible - not even terribly hard. Beat it second try, no foam or concrete needed.

To beat it, I had to use foam and concrete to block half my base so I could dig a hole to my own brain, so I could fly streight up out of it. If not I have to pass my brain actor past multiple assaults that are just so bad-ass with grenades and sniping that I'd swear its supposed to be the last level. I honestly had to abuse the bad-AI just to barely survive, and then I tend to die to stupid crap like my brain falling to far or to many objects on the map just make my brain explode.

6) Delta-time has changed, sim-cap has changed, new timescale variable in Ctrl+P that isn't in settings.ini. What do they do, as they are expressed differently now?

:/ Initially i was all like "WTH is this. Not want dumb weapons to be part of official factions." But then I was like "Eh, I don't have to use it." Then I tried it and I was all like "OMG awesome, omg omg omg." But then, when the novelty wore off, I was like meh, this jut makes Ronin less cool and more dumb.

I did buff the dreadnoughts, but not enough it seesm.
The thing they lack is more powerful jointstrengths and better impulse damage resistance. Right now if you keep shooting it with a normal pistol, it will work fine, but if you apply even a bit extra kinetic power, you can knock the entire turret off the tank just like that.
