Looking at this again I see a couple of things.
First you don’t get the bombard pit on alpha 08 on v1.10 again I'm not sure if it's one of these things you are supposed to get on v1.10 but don’t because of bugs or if you are just not supposed to get it at all so might want to double check the original source to see if you are actually supposed to get that or not.
You also get the
Composite Alloy mk2
Heavy Body Python
Of course we already know about that because it was a deliberate change since technically, if the required structure check was working correctly, you would be able to research them on alpha 08
On master you get the following on Alpha 09
Machine Gunner Cyborg
Heavy Gunner Cyborg
Lancer Cyborg
Flamer Cyborg
Cyborg Composite Alloy
Cyborg Composite Alloy mk2
Cyborg Composite Alloy mk3
Which you are not supposed to get till you have actually build the Cyborg factory of course we already know about that and again it's a side effect of removing the required structure check, which still needs to be fixed so that it actually checks the home map for the presence of the required structure instead of the away map and when done that needs to be re-implemented.
On alpha 11 the convoy still needs work to make it properly mirror how it worked before.
In addition the behaviour of how the artefact drop works needs fixing as well, because on v1.10 if you kill the unit carrying the artefact it will be dropped immediately and then the other members of the convoy will try to pick it back up again as noted in my previous posting several pages back, well unless you get to it first that is.
However on master you have to wipe out the whole convoy before the artefact will drop which is incorrect behaviour there are no Star Trek style transporters that would allow members of the convoy to magically beam the artefact between them to try and keep it out of your hands, more over having the artefact drop set up that way can potentially screw you over because if one of the new paradigm units manages to give you the slip it's impossible to catch them before they escape because they move faster then you now while the speed difference isn't that big it is enough that it makes it impossible to catch them if they get a bit of a head start on you.
Also as previously noted the convoy is supposed to stay together as a single unit the whole strength in numbers thing so obviously the group code for this still needs looking at which may or may not necessitate altering the convoy since mixing fast and slow units together doesn't work so well due to the removal of the formation speed limiting.
