Engine Light

The Light Fusion Engine (LFE) is mechanically similar to an XL Engine, but uses Lostech energy shielding to allow a mech to survive the destruction of a side torso. The Light Fusion engine is 75% the mass for the same performance, but intrudes into the side torso bays of a BattleMech.

Critical Slots:	8 (4 CT + 4 ST)
Install Location:	Center Torso
Value:	937,500

Equipped Effects:

-25% engine core weight

Critical Effects:

HIT 1: Engine damaged, additional 15 heat per turn
HIT 2: Engine damaged, additional 30 heat per turn
DESTROYED: Engine destroyed, 'mech is incapacitated

Notes:

Light engines take up 4 critical slots in the center torso and 2 in each side torso, this makes it quite somewhat vulnerable to side torso damage
3 critical hits on the engine will also incapacitate the 'mech, providing full salvage in the same way a headshot would
Destroying a single side torso does not incapacitate a 'mech with a Light engine as there are only two critical slots in each side. Destroying both side torsos however will incapacitate the 'mech. (The Clan XL engine works the same way)
