Hey everyone, I'm trying to find a list of command bonuses and the way they are supposed to interact with each other.
I've been hitting issues when Communications Equipment and a Dropship are on board where command is being calculated very high (we're playing with Megamek) and I'm trying to figure out the exact Equipment = Command Bonus translation so I can better prepare (and use these as tools for scenarios, in fact).
Any help would be greatly appreciated on this front.

This isn't a rules questions so I'm going to send it elsewhere, but you haven't given any page or even book references so I'm not sure what you're referring to. Could you be more specific.

Namely how Coms Gear is supposed to interact with Mobile HQ, Dropships, etc.; also if Coms Gear stacks when multiple units are using it (i.e. would 4 units with 6 tons of coms gear each result in a +2 or a +8?)
Sorry, that post really was unclear.

Rules for officers providing command bonuses begin on page 191 of Tactical Operations.
Rules for Communications Equipment providing command bonuses begin on page 194 of Tactical Operations.
Rules for Command Consoles providing command bonuses are on page 301 of Tactical Operations.
Rules for Naval Comm-Scanner Suites providing command bonuses are on page 333 of Tactical Operations.
Rules for Satellite Imagers providing command bonuses are on page 339 of Tactical Operations.
Rules for Look-Down Radars providing command bonuses are on page 340 of Tactical Operations.
I hope this helps. This isn't a rules question, so in the future I'd appreciate it if you address these sorts of questions to the regular (non-rules) forums. Thanks.

Thanks! This is incredibly helpful - and got it just in time for the scenario where it will matter. Appreciate it!
