Special Unit Abilities
The special unit abilities described here are intended for use with the Alpha Strike rule system:
Direct Neural Control System (DN)
A unit controlled with a direct neural control system is designed to be piloted by warriors fitted with an advanced cybernetic brain implant, enabling more enhanced control. This technology is exceedingly rare and dangerous in the BattleTech setting, with its use invariably leading to madness and death in less than a decade or so. Developed only in the wake of the Clan Invasion, it was almost exclusively limited to the fanatics of the Word of Blake faction, even though other groups researched their own versions.
If a warrior or crew controlling a unit with this special ability is not fitted with a DNI implant—including the prototype DNI, vehicular DNI, or buffered VDNI implants—the control system provides no benefits or drawbacks at all. Otherwise, the use of this feature applies a –1 modifier to the pilot’s Skill Rating, so a unit with a Skill Rating of 2 will drop to 1. However, any Fire Control critical hit the unit receives during a scenario will result in a Crew Stunned effect to the unit (regardless of the unit’s type). If this happens to an aerospace unit treat the stunned unit as if it has shut down.
