Description
Somewhere around March-April 2024, some vehicles lost their updated sprites during some commit weirdness
Discussion started here in the megamek discord: https://discord.com/channels/458705327911731231/458706493659807801/1423373636848324670
The specific example that was pointed out was the Striker LT. See Striker LT. Compare vs the other Striker LT variants and the lost updated version).
Vehicles in this directory at this point in the commit history with a "Sprite Project # 6" commit note likely have variants that lost their updated art. (This directory now lives in mm-data.
Vehicles with some variants likely affected:
- Striker
- Scorpion
- Saladin
- EngineeringVehicle (the current base one is huge while also being a different style compared to the others)

Done means the affected variants are identified and their updated sprites are restored consistently.
