Zulu Equipment

Zulu technologies we saved the best for last.

11-1-2022 Update for new YAML version 0. 31 Everything working again, Unobtanium (now green like most equipment, I miss the black). With all that has been added to YAML in the last year and a half there is a lot that could be reworked and improved but not sure if I'll ever get around to it.

Hardened-Ferro 3047 (Clan 3055)

Combining the Toughness of Hardened Armor and the weight savings of Ferro-Fibrous, resulting in twice as much protection per point as Standard Armor, but only weighs 75% more instead of 100%. Uses 14 critical slots.

Clan is 60%. 7 critical slots but more expensive.

I was trying for balance Ferro-Fibrous adds 12% more armor, hardened doubles the weight so 12% doubled is 24% added 1% to make a nice 25% reduction in weight penalty. Like wise clan Ferro-Fibrous is 20% doubled to 40%.

Reinforced-Endo 3057

Endo steel Structure that has been reinforced to sustain twice as much damage like Reinforced Structure but with only half the weight increase. Requires 14 critical slots.

Clan is 7 critical slots but more expensive.

7 slots half weight reduction of endo steel

Heat! Heat Sink Safety Override, Enlarged Heat sinks, Heat banks, Improved heat banks (3045) Total Cooling System (2. 0 3050)

Heat Sink Safety Override

Fusion engines require 10 heat sinks to be properly cooled. Disabling these safety protocols is generally not a good idea that can lead to overheating, explosions, high repair bills and just plain dangerous situations. But then you didn't become a mercenary to sit behind a desk and play safe video games when your boss isn't looking.   Overrides the need for 1 heat sink, explodes when destroyed.

YAML added the 10 Heat sink requirement so I added a safety override because I need that 1 ton damn it lol!

Rapid Coolant Lines NEW 1. 3    0. 5 Ton, 1 Slot, 0 Heat, 0. 3 Heat dissipation       Engine slots Only

Enlarged Heat Sink MKI      0. 5 Ton, 2 Slot, 0. 7 Heat, 0. 07 Heat dissipation Now fits in Engine slots

Enlarged Heat Sink MKII     1 Ton, 4 Slot, 1. 8 Heat, 0. 18 Heat dissipation

Enlarged Heat Sink MKIII    1 Ton, 6 Slot, 2. 2 Heat, 0. 22 Heat dissipation

Rapid Coolant Lines focus on quickly exhausting heat but offer no capacity for holding heat. They are light but have to connect directly to the mech's engine so they can only be placed in engine slots.

Enlarged Heat Sinks if you can't make it better make it bigger! A bulkier heat sink that does not fit engine slots but is more efficient than Single Heat sinks.  Both dissipates heat from the Mech and allows a greater build up of heat befor
