Active TSM

[bblaney]

So yeah I would like feedback on this and balancing help

The reasoning for such a high heat spike is the fact the units store massive amounts of heat, but funnel it to where it is needed, if you crit it, it unleashes the heat immediately.

Thanks!!!!!

<b>Active TSM</b>

Active TSM is an advancement in myomer technology that has only recently gone into testing. By installing a central heating unit and placing heat exchanges in the arms, legs and each side torso the mech can gain the same abilities of TSM at all times.

Game notes: Active TSM generates 9 extra heat per turn. Central Heating unit takes up 2 slots and weight 2 tons no matter the mech. Each Arm, Leg and side torso gets a critical spot taken by a heat exchange. If the Central heating unit is hit by a critical it explodes for 5 points of damage and 18 heat, an exchange is 1 damage and 9 heat.

Not compatible with Stealth armor, Null Sig, Chameleon LPS and Void Signature System or SuperHeavy Mechs.

I like this, heat resistant armor might be useful and infernos and plasma will be even more prevalent if this is common.

You get the benefits of TSM, but at a price, that being more heat, but hey all good.

I like the concept.
Though I would probably prefer the extra half ton for 3 ER Smalls and a medium, and just fire them every turn no matter what.
I think it would some sort of other advantage.
Maybe if it's so advanced, it needs less heat? Say, 7?
Damn, I still haven't gotten used to the green bar when searching for my posts.
Edit: It might get you into problems with superlight engines, too.
Maybe generate less, but set a minimum that it doesn't go under?
