Every leg must mount the Mechanical Jump Boosters. For every Jump MP desired, the Mechanical Jump Booster system weighs 5% of the BattleMech's mass (rounded up to the nearest half-ton). Jump MP's provided by the Mechanical Jump Booster system are not limited by the unit's walking MP.<ref name="TOp292"/> A 'Mech mounting the Mechanical Jump Booster system cannot adjust facing as it jumps. If any of the Mechanical Jump Boosters are destroyed by a critical hit, the entire system is rendered useless.<ref name="TOp292"/> These systems can be mounted in 'Mechs that use standard Jump Jets, but only one system can be used per turn. </div> == References == <references/> == Bibliography == * ''[[Tactical Operations]]'' * ''[[Tactical Handbook]]'' [[Category:Equipment]] [[Category:Technology]] [[Category:Experimental Technology]]
