2. Database Connections

Battletech Live, a flash-driven website, is set up in such a way that any connected user has the ability to trigger server-side updates.  Any time a user logs in or performs any such action that requires contact with the server and database, the server checks for time-sensitive events and performes the necessary actions.

Each character created has access to career statistics., including number of kills, hit percentages, preferred weapon, average time in battle, wins and losses, and many others.  Very little information is stored on the user’s computer.  Such information can include BattleMech and vehicle designs as well as PDF record sheets, exported for offline play.
