Possibly stupid question, but I've been looking for an answer... What the heck is the point of this thing? It's on the LAM record sheets, but as far as I can tell, the rules don't reference it at all. So, what is it used for?

Never mind. I decided to finally look in Strategic Operations and found it there!

Hehe, we're all guilty of that once in awhile. 😜

The verdict is... "it's complicated". Instead of trying to explain it, I've attached an image of it to this post. It's part of the Advanced Aerospace Movement Sheet on page 419 of Strategic Operations.

Uhh wow. That seems overly complex.

Its a really simple concept that is a pain to track on pen and paper and hard to describe. Its down right intuitive if you play it on Megamek because you can SEE the effect of your movement.
