The title became later affected by the [[Unseen]] issue, which resulted in the 1996 release of ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Revised]]'' under the same product number with considerable changes to content. Eventually the title was replaced in 2007 with ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade]]'' which included all-new artwork, more units and adaptation to latest rule developments.

=====Additional, Altered and Missing Content=====
 
=====Additional, Altered and Missing Content=====
The German edition's most extensive addition is the inclusion of all OmniFighter designs from ''TRO:3055''. The chapter ''Strategic Information'' provides additional insights on some [[:Category:Clan Terms|Clan concepts]], like Bidding, various forms of Trials etc., with content originating from ''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', on three pages. The last page contains an ad for MechForce Germany.

The chapter ''Techdata'' contains all content from original edition's chapter ''Engineer's Tests'', but without any sub-chapter. The described equipment is simply sorted in alphabetical order, rather than functional groups. The original's ''Introduction'' is completely replaced by an alternative in-universe introduction, without being credited to a specific person or institution, given sometime after the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]], which explains the title alteration from ''3050'' to ''3052''. The weapon charts in German edition show all (at that time) available equipment, not just the new equipment presented. The BattleArmor record sheets are somewhat colloquially named ''Krötenbogen'' (''Toad Sheet'').
