Will fix, yes, each group of 5 on a LRM has a chance to decompress, you roll a location when you hit, you have a chance to decompress.

Sounds like a nasty and ugly, but weapon fire will also be reduced because of heat issues, so it might not be as bad as you think.

Honestly i have no idea how it's going to turn out either.  Like all things dice will be king.

Where?

In Kitten's original post, or somewhere I can't see?

Because Kitten's post says what happens when you exceed the safe speeds, but doesn't specify what they are...

Nope - it's any hit can cause a breach on 10+.  If all armour is removed from a location, it automatically breaches (on top of the normal crit check if applicable).  Fighting in vacuum SUCKS!  LBX's are killers in this type of environment.

Ack, wow okay, talk about poor engineering. Unfortunate that it makes the dice rolls even more deciding.. should be interesting.

They say it's always nice to do 'win' and do 'well'.  The harsh truth though is that you learn more from brutal defeats.  The drop did not go well at all, and many mistakes were made.  Mistakes are the opportunity you learn from.
There was some really ugly fighting on the last contract but no fatalities.
cost 20,000 C-Bills per experience point.
Maximum of 25 experience points.

Anyways, thats just me over analyzing it, being influenced from a tech/engineering background, and having been exposed to way to much Macross and Gundam :)
