Industrial MASC

The Industrial Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuit is, as the name strongly suggests, a version of the MASC for use in industrial applications - in this case, exclusively IndustrialMechs.

Rules
The Industrial MASC is available to both IS and Clan tech bases.

In both cases, it weights 50% more than their non-industrial respective versions, and occupies one extra critical slot.

However, the Industrial MASC does have an advantage over its lighter, sleeker counterpart: It has been designed for intensive use, so it can be always active with no chance of failing or breaking except for a critical hit. Industrial MASC starts the game active by default and can be turned off or on again during the unit's movement phase before the movement speed is calculated.

The effects of the Industrial MASC in increasing running speed are identical to regular MASC.

Also, Industrial MASC *is* compatible with mounting Industrial Triple Strenght Myomer, although this causes a -1 penalty to all Piloting and Gunnery rolls when both systems are simultaneously active.

The specialized nature of the system means it can only be mounted on IndustrialMech units, and NOT in BattleMech units (the reverse is true for regular, military-grade MASC).
