Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When you have less than 4 undamaged mechs after a mission, you get a message from Yang saying that you need to do some repairs before accepting any more jobs. Since the 1.9 patch, I receive that message after any mission where a mech is damaged, regardless of how many mechs I have available. It has appeared with 1 damaged mech and 17 others available.
Have you tried verifying your files?
No

Steps to reproduce the issue
1. Have a mech damaged during a mission.
2. Complete the mission.
3. Message will appear as the main game screen loads.

I have also seen this - I had 10 battleready mechs and 2 unequipped newly salvaged mechs in my Bay. The message stopped when I move the 2 unequipped mechs to storage.
Very Minor but a bit confusing at first

Problem is a changed if-clause in SimGameState.ResolveCompleteContract():
OLD and OK:

if (this.Constants.Story.NotifMechRepairsNeededRecurrence > 0 && fieldableActiveMechs.Count < 4 && num2 > this.Constants.Story.NotifMechRepairsNeededRecurrence)

NEW:

if (this.Constants.Story.NotifMechRepairsNeededRecurrence > 0 && fieldableActiveMechs.Count < this.ActiveMechs.Count && num2 > this.Constants.Story.NotifMechRepairsNeededRecurrence)

Basically old code checks if we have at least 4 Mechs fieldable, new code checks if ANY active Mech is non-fieldable...

@Timaeus: Will it be of any help if i collect and post these insights somewhere where a DEV sees them? As 1.9.1 is probably the last patch we'll see, i just wanna help polish the final state (and make this seemingly easy fixes at least quick to find) of BT before it's too late..

It doesn't hurt. I know that the old "CFixes" mod was more or less that (They had a bug report thread wit the issues, and a mod thread with the fixes also in their case). Can't guarantee everything pointed out will get fixed however.
