Yea page 290 of it looks best resource

Yes indeed, that table has a bunch of info including the ER Small was Jade Falcon again in 2825 while Star Adder is also given credit for the Streak SRM 4 and 6 in 2826. And the A-Pod is apparently Ghost Bear according to that table in 2850. They even have a bunch of conventional infantry weapons invented by certain Clans.

Apparently though someone overlooked Cloud Cobra boasts about being the masters of lasers in FM Warden Clan cause they didn't event squat according to this info from the tables.

Or it could have been forgotten about completely and is now an error.

I will try and compile a current list of what we know as soon as I can.

Well I wish I had known about the Universal Technology Advancement Table (page 35-63) in Interstellar Operations first. Would have made my job a lot less research oriented although it still was interesting as we have some conflicts [] noted above. Please enjoy the results now in chronological order!

I am sort of surprised that by 2860 all the Clan tech we know and love at invasion time is available. Actually if you discount the last three (Targeting Computer, A-Pod, Arrow IV) that date is more like 2832. So essentially within ten years of the conclusion of Operation Klondike (the liberation of the Pentagon Worlds) most everything is available to the Clans. Golden Century is more like the Diamond Decade. The InnerSphere of the 3rd Succession War is so lucky the Clans didn't invade in 3000 cause it would have been impossible to stop them with 3025 (Level 1) tech.

The amount of canon contradictions also surprises me. I can sort of understand someone forgetting about the Cloud Cobras being the masters of laser technology (FM Warden Clans) then having not a one discovery in that field or the Ice Hellions innovating Ferro Fibrous and Endosteel (from FM Crusader Clans). They are older sources and maybe are a little too boastful about the acheivements of their own Clan.

However, both the Anti-Missile System (changed from Blood Spirit to Star Adder) and the Narc Missile Beacon (changed from Hell's Horses to Ice Hellion) between Golden Century PDF to Strategic Operations. Not a big gap and readily available.
