Trying to understand something about communications equipment and how to utilize it. I know that battlemechs automatically have a basic amount of communication equipment as part of their cockpit & control systems equivalent to 1 ton.
Knowing that, in order to gain the +2 initiative bonus of 7 tons of communications equipment do I have to add 6 tons of communications equipment PLUS the cockpit & control systems equivalent of 1 ton, or does it have to be a separate 7 tons of communications equipment?
