Enhanced Imaging Implant
Unit Type: BattleMechs, Battle Armor (Clan)
SPA Cost: 3 points
A rare ability used during the Invasion era, only the most fanatical Clan warriors accepted the Enhanced Imaging Implant. It has since been adapted for use in ProtoMechs. This SPA gives the Clan warrior a wireless link (via cybernetic tattoos) to his/her BattleMech or Battle Armor, enhancing their abilities, but with drastic (and fatal) side effects.
A unit with this SPA can activate or deactivate the Implant at the start of the game or during the End Phase. When activated, the unit ignores all modifiers for night combat and other visual conditions (like snow, rain, fog). Also, when targeting units in woods, jungle, planted fields, or smoke, a +1 modifier is only applied. Rules for Line of Sight still apply. The unit also gains a -1 bonus to skill when avoiding skids and making physical attacks. If the unit is a BattleMech, any time the unit suffers internal structure damage roll 2d6, a result of 2 or 12 kills the pilot, and the unit is destroyed. A critical hit roll of 2 "Ammo Hit" will also kill the pilot even if the unit has CASE. If the unit is Battle Armor it suffers an extra 0* damage on each hit.
