==Description==
 
==Description==
'''''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised''''' was the managed response to the issue of the [[Unseen]] like previously the ''[[Technical Readout: 3025 Revised]]'' had been. It superseded the original ''[[Technical Readout: 3050]]'' (with even the same product number), dropping the Unseen designs and replacing them with newer (at the time) high technology weapons and equipment, which were available (at this title's printing) via some of the rulebooks. Thirty-one combat assets were included in this revised edition, most being Level 2 versions of the [['Mech]]s and [[combat vehicle]]s introduced in ''[[Technical Readout: 2750]]''.

Like ''[[Technical Readout: 3025 Revised]]'', '''''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised''''' was the managed response to the issue of the ''[[Unseen]]''. Also removed from the original lineup for ''[[Technical Readout: 3050]]'' was the large number of pages devoted to the newer (at the time) high technology weapons and equipment, which were available (at this title's printing) via some of the rulebooks. Thirty-one combat assets were included in this revised edition, most being Level 2 versions of the [['Mech]]s and [[combat vehicle]]s introduced in ''[[Technical Readout: 2750]]''.
