Figure Total Weight Add together all of the weights of your mecha to determine a Total Weight. This weight will be used to figure it s Aerial Propulsion cost and its Ground MOVE and Maneuver Value. Thrusters allows your mecha to fly. Therefore a 90 ton mecha that flies will add an additional 9 tons in fuel. Thrusters must also be placed in servo locations.
Thrusters require as many spaces as they cost.
Therefore our above example of 57 CP of thrusters would require 57 spaces. Thruster spaces can be split up and allocated to several servos at no additional cost. Spaces can be reduced for 0.5 CP per Space added to the cost of the thrusters. But even with a MOVE of 100 or MA of 20, our mecha barely gets over 400 mph. The Afterburner Rule allows the mecha to move at one Mach level for every 100 MOVE or 20 MA of thrusters purchased.
