Fire Control Systems
FCS Adv TC
Targeting Computers are sophisticated pieces of electronics that, unlike normal targeting systems, physically help MechWarriors target their opponents. Complex stablizers and calculation algorithms permit much more precise weapons fire, even breaching enemy defensive stances and permitting the precise targeting of mech components. This allows for more surgical precision of weapons fire, especially with naturally accurate systems.
| Manufacturer: | NAIS |
|---|---|
| Tonnage: | 2 |
| Critical Slots: | 1 |
| Install Location: | Cockpit |
| Value: | 450000 |
Equipped Effects:
- Enables Breaching Shot. Breaching shot ignores Cover and Guarded when firing a single weapon at a target.
- Enables targeting precise locations during called shot action.
Critical Effects:
- DESTROYED: 'Mech is incapacitated.
FCS Apollo
Developed by the Draconis Combine to alleviate some of the issues with their Medium-Range Missile system, the Apollo system permits the use of Apollo ammo for MRMs, which provide some reasonable boosts over standard MRM munitions. Cannot be used with other Missile TTS and enables using Apollo MRM ammo.
| Manufacturer: | Combine Electronics |
|---|---|
| Tonnage: | 1 |
| Critical Slots: | 1 |
| Install Location: | Cockpit |
| Value: | 750000 |
Equipped Effects:
- Allows Apollo MRM ammunition to be used.
Critical Effects:
- DESTROYED: 'Mech is incapacitated.
FCS Artemis IV
While being a more regional Fire Control System, the adapted Artemis system greatly enhanced the Garret A99 capabilities, even above some of the other competitors on the market. Cannot be used with other Missile TTS and enables using Artemis IV Ammo.

Location Designator FCS
A highly specialised piece of equipment, the Location Designator FCS permits a 'mech pilot to single out a location on an enemy unit and attempt to place heavy fire into that specific location. This ability is extremely coveted by pilots but comes with a cost. Because of the finely-tuned precision scanners, the Location Designator FCS does not track targets well. In practical terms, this means that the FCS permits general targeting of the location at the cost of accurate targeting of that location. Still, the trade-off is generally acceptable to pilots and the Location Designator FCS was an instant hit among MechWarriors.
