(Answered) Plasma Ammo and ENE special.
« on: 07 April 2023, 17:04:58 »
Should Mechs that only carry Plasma Rifle Ammo get the ENE special since it can't explode?  The Alpha Strike Companion (Pg 123) seems to contradict itself on this, stating ": This special is assigned to any non-infantry unit type that carries no explosive components." but then "Explosive
components that disqualify units from receiving this ability include all weapons that use ammunition (including artillery, autocannons, Gauss weapons, some flamers, chemical lasers, plasma weapons, and missile launchers), improved heavy lasers, A-Pods, B-Pods, and M-Pods, fuel tanks, booby traps, and coolant pods of any type."

That was an error, errata was posted.
https://bg.battletech.com/errata/, the Alpha Strike Companion errata 5.1 has note for ENE that says
⑥ Add the end of the “Conversion” paragraph insert the following:
Plasma Weapons, even if using ammunition, do not count as explosive components. Neither do Rocket Launchers
