In the context of [[BattleTech]] spacecraft, the term '''Monitor''', although not clearly defined, is usually used to describe the concept of a [[WarShip]] without a [[jump drive]] core.

− This drive core has no tactical value in combat but typically makes up 47.5% of a given WarShip's mass. The idea behind the Monitor concept is to free up this mass for weapons, armor, and other combat-relevant systems by forgoing the jump drive. Such Monitors would theoretically be vastly more powerful on a ton-per-ton basis compared to regular WarShips of the same mass. + This drive core has no tactical value in combat but typically makes up 47.5% of a given WarShip's mass. The idea behind the Monitor concept is to free up almost twice as much mass for weapons, armor, and other combat-relevant systems by forgoing the jump drive. Monitors are theoretically vastly more powerful on a ton-per-ton basis compared to regular WarShips of the same mass.
