So this popped into my head earlier - can a 'mech declare a run and then use significantly fewer MP, just to generate the +2 heat?
For example a 'mech that moves 4/6 and has Triple-Strength Myomer needs to generate an additional 1 heat point to activate the TSM, so the player declares a run, but only uses 4MP, and obeys the running restrictions while doing so. Is that allowed?
