Thanks to Google’s image search API, Sheets will now include an image of the selected unit. This functionality isn’t fool proof, so erroneous images (or none at all) might show up. To compensate you can click on the image to cycle through a few results. Interface-wise there’s a new, small, control bar in the bottom right where the print and full screen commands can be found. Also, for those on a small screen, record sheets can be dragged around the screen in order to see all of their parts. Lastly, I’ve made a few fixes to a few weapon stats (IS AC5, Streak 6, and medium pulse laser).
On a side note, flash security measures prevent typing into text fields while a SWF is full screen, so if you move back to the unit list view Sheets will return to windowed mode. It’s a bummer, but there’s not much I can do about it at the moment…
Enjoy!

Okay now that that is out of my system, pretty cool. I was over come with a sense of irony though when the first two (personally iconic) mechs I tried bringing up last week, a Nova Prime and an Archer 4M, both missed on the pic and left me cycling.
When I tried it just now though, it got the Archer right first try. Is Sheets, learning? Or is this just another manifestation of the continual refining excellent of our beneficent Google Overlords?

Not true. I actually just touched on this in another comment. I suppose it does have a google mark on it now…
The results are a little… surprising sometimes. Currently it looks for the whole name plus designation, so sometimes Mech 7Q shows up but Mech 1A doesn’t. This might explain the behavior you’ve seen. Otherwise…

Hmm… Seems ok. The images part was always a little unreliable. For some units it won’t find anything and will just put in the default cockpit image.
