I had no significant damage to my mech prior firing. Firing weapons just destroys my CT engine without touching the armor in front or back CT. It just reads "Engine destroyed" (CT is black on paper doll as in cored state) and the text "Coldblood has killed Coldboold" appears. I'm positive I wasn't shot by the opponent. I had XL engine in both cases, but the side torsos armor (front and back) and the side torso engines were untouched. I also must emphasize, that in either case I had no significant heat, before or after the kill shot was made. I also wasn't overriding engine shutdown. To my understanding of the heat in game, it shouldn't have had any effect on the destruction of my CT.
On 2nd self made CT death (with ERLL's) I hit my lance mate, but I don't think it has anything to do with this, as the 1st time I don't recall hitting anyone.
Oh and I think I was riding Dragons in both cases.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I was easily on bounds, not even close to map boundaries.
