|support = || Copy from Skirmish mech bay/loadout screenshot


|omni = || Copy from Skirmish mech bay. Do not add a value if the mech is a battlemech


|speed = || Copy from Skirmish mech bay. The format is Move/Sprint/Jump. Be aware that MASC speed is not calculated in the base move stats show in mech bay.


|modspeed = || Written as X (MASC/TSM). Add MASC/TSM sprint speed here. You'll need to calculate it based on movement speed, rounding up or down where necessary: [Move] x [1.5 + Modifiers]. E.g. 7 x (1.5 + 0.4) = 13.3 (13) would be written as |modspeed = 13 (MASC) |- |maxdamage = || Copy from Skirmish mech bay Medium Range info. Be aware of weapons like HAGs that the mech bay doesn't calculate damage or stability for properly


|maxstability = || As above


|maxheat = || As above. Be aware of any build that solely relies on heat ammo, which won't be accounted for. If it has normal ammo and inferno ammo though don't count it
