engine explosions

[gabool]

Hi after I updated TOS it seems like there arn't nearly as many engines going nuclear.
Did the update do that? I didn't see anything about engine explosions in the patch.txt file but I might have missed it, is there anyway I can make explosions more likely on my own?

I LOVED engine explosions!

I don't remember changing it. The better the jocks damage control skill, the less likely are engine explosions. Perhaps you are fighting higher level enemies now ?

yeah that's probably why, I'll fight massive amounts of mini inferior ones so it's fair.

Also, the bigger the engine, the more likely it will blow up. Since many of my "Inner Sphere" mech designs (shameless plug) have larger engines for their size, they seem to explode more often.

NOTE: This can be devestating if you end up fighting at close range. (I lost two titans this way.)
