Visiting Deep Periphery Systems in BTA?

First play thru using the mod, I probably have 50-75 hrs in it so far. It's totally renewed my interest in the game. It's March 3065 and I'm just noticing some systems are available to visit outside of the main cluster. Way outside. The furthest I can see is one called Waystation 531. It would take almost 1/2 year game time to visit.

Has anyone spent time exploring these outer systems? Are there unique mechs or drops, or are they mostly included for the merc net story events?

Darius shade - just now noticing this "tip"

I guess I've never paid much attention to the tips/tricks displayed during the load cycle. This one gave me a chuckle.

BTA 3062 bug for targeting enemy battle armor in same turn?

I've been doing a lot of opfor clan missions lately and 25-50% of their mechs have battle armor attached. Not a big deal, except for when they detach the battle armor outside of a swarm attack. Once the BA and Mech share the same hex, the game won't let me direct fire target either one. Example in the screen shot below.

I have line of sight to the Jade mech and BA, but can't target either one. It reverts to normal in the next turn, but seems like a cheesy way for the AI to avoid damage.

For some reason, indirect fire works, but only for the BA. I still can't target the mech.

BTA 3062 - Still confused about how C3 equip is intended to operate

I've gone through the thread history and it has conflicting info:

The wiki states a master unit is necessary:

This thread states only the slave units are needed:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Battletechgame/comments/14znu3n/bta_3062_explain_c3_to_me_like_im_stupid/

I also, I just encountered the first "master" c3 alpha unit in my playthru during against jade falcon. I selected it in the salvage, but it's not visible in my inventory. Is it called something else in storage?
