Battle values for some equipment are incorrect. Confirm and/or fix the BV for each item

The README has been stubbed out and includes build instructions but could use a brief description of SSW under the title and some more information about using the application under Getting Started.

Describe the bug
Attached files do not load, instead loading a dialog box with a cryptic, apparently meaningless error message such as "-13". The mass open/resave function exhibits the same behavior.

The files work with SSW version 0.6.83.1.

Sample files attached here:
SSW_Experiemental_Load.zip

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Load one of the attached .ssw files

Expected behavior
The 'Mech should be parsed and opened with all the equipment in good order.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 1903
• Java 8u211
• Builds Experimental 70.0.2 and 70.0.3

Describe the bug
OmniMech base without configurations fails to load.

This is the error I get:
"Index: 0, Size: 0"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to load the attached file.

Expected behavior
Loading an Omni without configurations should just bring up an unconfigured Omni ready to have a configuration added.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 1903
• Version Java 8u211

Additional context
This is a bug present in the last public release (0.68.3.1).

As a workaround, always make sure to put at least a Prime configuration on your Omnis.

• Imp.Gauss Rifle (Clan, Pg96 IO)
• LB-02-X AC (Prototype) (Clan, Pg97 IO)
• LB-05-X AC (Prototype) (IS, Pg 72 IO)
• LB-10-X AC (Prototype) (Clan, Pg97 IO)
• LB-20-X AC (Prototype) (Clan, Pg97 IO)
• Ultra AC/2 (Prototype) (Clan, Pg98 IO)
• Ultra AC/5 (Prototype) (IS, Pg 104 IO)
• Ultra AC/10 (Prototype) (Clan, Pg98 IO)
• Ultra AC/20 (Prototype) (Clan, Pg98 IO)

Energy

• Centurion Weapon System (IS, Pg85 IO)
• Enhanced PPC (Clan, Pg95 IO)
• Improved PPC (Clan, Pg95 IO)
• ER Large Laser (Prototype) (IS, Pg103 IO)
• Medium Pulse Laser (Prototype) (IS, Pg103 IO)
• RISC Hyper Laser (IS, Pg93 IO)
• RISC Repeating TSEMP (IS, Pg94 IO)

The Beginners Box Sets throughout the years has simplified record sheets for beginning players. These record sheets are about half of an a4/letter paper size with Mech Data, Mech/Unit image, Hit Location table, Gunnery Skill, and an Armor Diagram. No heat, crit tables, and rear/internal structure diagrams.

SSW can offer a simplified sheet print-out as outlined above (with BV rating for balancing purposes) for all of the available Mechs, Vees and the like. This could cater for pick-up games, accessibility, beginners, and/or those groups who wants something in-between Alpha Strike and standard Battletech games for simpler/faster play but grants access to all eras and units.

AFAIK, MML doesn't have this feature.

Example of the current quick-start record sheet:

Trying to look at the equipment/weapon data. Can anyone give me an idea on what format the .dat files actually are?

Describe the bug
The BV calculation for some units is not accurate. One such unit is the Mad Cat Z, but there are likely others.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Open Mad Cat (Timber Wolf) Z
View BV (3003)

Expected behavior
BV should instead equal 2923

Would it be possible to display the design quirks in the Force Builder's print options and then print them out, as is the case with the newer RS?

Reported by Templar Ken on Discord

Describe the bug
By configuring a mech loadout in a specific order, it's possible to create an introductory battlemech with industrial structure and an I.C.E engine, which should not ordinarily be possible.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open SSW and start a blank loadout
2. Set Mech Type to Industrial
3. Set Engine type to I.C.E Engine
4. Set Motive Type to Quad
5. Set rules level from Tournament Legal to Introductory
6. Click through warning prompt
7. Change motive type to biped

Expected behavior
The Chassis information associated with Industrial mechs should not be accepted when the "Mech Type:" Dialogue box reads "Battlemech".

Additional context
It seems a number of problems arise when the "Rules level" change whilst modifying the mech. For example I can change the Era, Tech Base, and Prod Year/Era under basic information; Change any of the Chassis then revert to an introductory Rules level and have all the changes stay.

This can lead to some weird stuff like having a Introductory level Clan Battlemech from the Clan invasion era with a Industrial mech type, Industrial structure, quad motive type, and a I.C.E. engine.

Would it be possible to enter the Alpha strike values ​​manually without the software changing them to the Battleforce values ​​that are no longer generally used. If you currently change it in the SSW file with an editor, these values ​​are overwritten by the software if you want to print them out. With Alpha strike becoming more and more popular, it would be a very interesting feature.
