Mecha Stats Improvements (WIP)
Update current 89 component data with the new improved framework
Manufacturer
Component origin has been expanded, now support more than 3 countries.
At the moment; this includes:
Group A:
USA, Canada
Group B:
France, Austria, UK, Germany, Russia, Netherland, Norway
Group C:
China, Japan, Korea
Each group has it's own stats characteristics.

Max Attachment
No longer static across weight class; now different components in the same weight class can support different number of attachment.
New Stats
Comfort, Luxury, Capacity Base (WIP)
Deprecate outdated stats
Noise, Heat, Durability
Enable [Fuel] and [Range] stats

Update #023 : Build 0.5.26
Updates
Improve Mech Summary Panel (WIP)
Enable [Attachment Summary] and [Safety] stats
Streamline mech stats by deprecating [CameraType], [AutoTrack] and [MaxTarget]. It was unnecessarily complex.
Remove arm and head panel as there is now no longer head/arm-specific stat (see previous update). Summary panel is now less cluttered.
Move [AutoPilot] stats from deprecated head panel to overview panel. In case of multiple supported auto pilot level, the highest one will be used.
Internally, now using the same logic to display a component/ attachment details. Much easier to maintain and less prone to regression
Enlarge engine type icon
Improve Component/Attachment Tooltips
Improve Unlock Cost Panel
Numerous refactorings and code base improvements
Minor Research Screen visual improvements

Update #022 : Build 0.5.25
Updates
Mecha Stats(Work In Progress)
Attachment no longer cosmetic only, now also contributing stats
Update data stats for current 10 attachments
Expand effects stats.
Old: only support 1 generic effect stat type "Utility"
New: support all available stats; e.g: safety(WIP), power, cargo capacity(WIP), fuel capacity (WIP), etc.
Decouple effect stat from part type.
Old: Power can only be generated from body
New: Power can now be generated from any component (Body, Arm, Head, etc) and any attachments
Also applies for other previously part type specific stats. e.g: AutoPilot was head only, etc
Improve internal stat data generation
An attachment can now support more than 1 effect
implements non-runtime parsing
quicker to extend and debug
(marginally) less load in runtime performance
Attachment widget now also displays more detailed information on mouse hover
