MECHANICAL JUMP BOOSTERS
After years of top-secret research, the NAIS unveiled it's mechanical jump
boosters to a select group of battlemech manufacturers in 3053. The
boosters, which consist of several specialized actuators and tripple
strength myomer bundles, are housed in a battlemech's legs and allow a 'mech
to jump without the aid of jump jets. The actuators uncoil with tremendous
force, and special heating units mounted in the legs keep the myomer at the
propper temperature. Houses Davion and Steiner have recently begun combat
testing the boosters in battles against the clans and along the periphery,
and federated commonwealth manufacturers are gearing up for mass production
of the components.
GAME NOTES
Mechanical jump boosters come in two classes, and both must be housed in the
legs of the 'mech. Boosters are always used in pairs, and may not be
mounted in four-legged mechs. Class one boosters take up one critical slot
in each leg and provide a jump MP of 2, regardless of the battlemech's
walking speed.
Class two boosters take up both critical slots in the legs. They provide a
jump MP of 4 for 'mechs weighing 5 to 55 tons, and a jump MP of 3 for 'mechs
weighing 60 tons or more. Class one boosters weigh 20% of the weight of the
'mech in which they are installed, and class two boosters weigh 30% of the
'mech's total tonnage.
The boosters create heat even when not in use. Class one boosters add 1
heat point per turn when not in use, and 2 heat points per turn when
activated. Class two boosters create 2 heat points per turn when not in use,
and 3 points when activated.
After a mechanical booster jump, a 'mech lands with the same hex facing that
it had before the jump. To land safely, the player must make a successful
piloting skill roll per standard rules, adding a +2 modifier. In all other
respects, standard rules for jump jets apply. Note that mechanical jump
boosters are not compatible with jump jets, and 'mechs may not be equipped
with both systems. Boosters may be used with level three jumping fire rules.
