In both the Alpha Strike Companion and its appointed Errata (v1.3), I have been unable to *confirm what the appropriate conversion cost is for a battlemech "Command Console" (TacOps p.300-301, 406-407)
Intuitively, I looked up a known unit with a Command Console (Battlemaster, card featured) and observed that despite having no extra comms equipment (per ASC p.127) it receives an MHQ value of 1.
Not sure if someone already figured this out (Search function failed me) but I'd recommend putting *an extra line in the ASC's "Mobile Headquarters Equipment Table" to outline the presence of a Command Console having the equivalent to MHQ1 (before factoring in any/all other Communications equipment)
