−	[[File:Reflective.png|200px|right|thumb|Laser Reflective armor]]	+	==Overview==
		+	The [[Rules Rating/Experimental#Experimental Rules|Experimental]] '''Laser Reflective Armor''' was first created by the [[Lyran Alliance]] in [[3058]], and used in [[3061]] by [[Clan Jade Falcon]].<ref>''Tactical Operations, p. 281''</ref> Also known as '''Glazed''' or '''Reflec''' armor, the first batch of Laser Reflective Armor was created by accident on a [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor production line. Laser Reflective Armor dissipates energy weapon attacks 50% more efficiently than other armor types, reducing the amount of damage taken by the 'Mech mounting it. Despite the name, Laser Reflective Armor is effective against all energy weapons, not just lasers. [[PPC]]s, [[Flamer]]s, and Plasma [[Plasma Rifle|Rifles]] and [[Plasma Cannon|Cannons]] are all less effective against it.

The technology would be aquired by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] by [[3061]].<ref name=TOp281>''Tactical Operations'', p. 281: "Laser Reflective Armor"</ref> Laser Reflective Armor is effective against all types of energy weapon, dissipating energy attacks much more efficiently than other armor types, reducing the amount of damage taken by the '[[Mech]] mounting it.<ref name=TOp281/>	+	Though the armor functions like standard armor against ballistic weapon attacks, it is very brittle. Whenever a 'Mech is physically attacked, falls, or crashes through a building, the armor is half as effective as standard or Ferro-Fibrous armor. This weakness has also been observed in artillery attacks.<ref>''Tactical Operations, p. 281'' Physical attacks, falls, buildings, and artillery strikes inflict twice as much damage on Laser Reflective Armor.</ref> In addition [[Armor-Piercing]] autocannon ammunition, [[Tandem-Charge Warhead|Tandem-Charge missiles]], and [[BattleMech Taser]]s all have a better chance of penetrating the armor and causing critical damage.<ref>''Tactical Operations, p. 281'' These weapons get a +2 bonus to see if they inflict a critical hit.</ref>
−	The armor would be considered as an [[Experimental Technology|experimental technology]] until after the [[Jihad]], entering regular production by [[3080]].<ref name="TRO:PROTOp206">''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 206: "Jihad Technology Advancement Table"</ref>	+	Like the Ferro-Fibrous armor it's based on, Laser Reflective Armor is bulkier than standard armor. In game terms it provides the standard protection per ton, and takes up ten critical slots on a 'Mech. The total damage taken by the armor from energy weapon attacks is rounded down.
