The Torso Cockpit has long been a dream of BattleMech designers. By moving the MechWarrior to a more heavily protected area, an army would be able to keep its more experienced soldiers in the fight a lot longer. The idea remained a dream until the unlocking of the Helm Memory Core provided a jump-start to many technological projects.
| Manufacturer: | Dark Mirage |
|---|---|
| Tonnage: | 4 |
| Critical Slots: | 2 |
| Install Location: | Center Torso |
| Value: | 620000 |
Equipped Effects:
- Cockpit moved to center torso section.
- +1 initiative.
- +10 pilot health.
Critical Effects:
- DESTROYED: 'Mech is incapacitated.
Notes:
- Moves the life support slots into the side torsos. This has the unintended side-effect of disabling the Clan quirk, so if you put a Torso Mount Cockpit into a Clan 'mech it will lose its acuracy and speed bonuses but also its melee accuracy penalty. If you want to turn a Kodiak into a melee monster this gear is essential.
