Yeah, but again, that's another Stackpole classic. He really loves having action sequences reach an explosive climax.
Outside of the logic of early BT novels, it's the kind of tactic that is more likely to get you a discharge from whatever unit you're in, assuming you survive the ejection. Plus, at maximum you're looking at 40 damage applied LRM-style against anything adjacent to you (and then 20 the next ring of hexes out, and 10 at the next ring), which isn't likely to do much unless your opponents are already as bad off as you are. But hey, if someone wants to start a trend of being the BattleTech equivalent of the Pokémon player who spams Self-Destruct, more power to them, I guess.

They also said they currently expect everyone to have the new shipping charges uploaded to their backerkits by the end of the week. Logistics is shooting for shipping to begin by end of May or beginning of June (but that could change, of course).

They used to say The Knack were going to be the next Beatles. My Sherona was OK and all but it’s hardly a Lennon/McCartney.
As for the pirates, let’s hope they roll snake eyes for their checks when they accost the ship carrying BT product to our hands.
