The TAG toggle has been discussed a few times, and is probably on its way. At the same time, would it be possible to install an "override shutdown toggle," such that shut-downs can be automatically overridden.
While I may wish to shut down in a Stalker, I NEVER want to shut down in a Spider (for example). A toggle that just lets me take the risk of overheat and explosion without having to find the "O" key in advance, would be very much appreciated.

hmmm, i don't know, did a thing like this ever exist in battletech? not sure, but hey, might be a good opportunity for PGI to make a module that serves this function!

Does it matter? This is another thing that can be macro'd, so they might as well add a function. It shouldn't need to take up a module slot as it has a very clear risk/reward situation which would make play dynamics a little deeper.

i suppose it doesn't matter too much. Hmmm, maybe not a module....or maybe just a cheap module.

My concern is the potential for loss of Module slots to things that every mech could have - not really price. My guiding philosphy for this sort of thing is: "If it can be easily macro'd, why not add a feature and level the playing field." Otherwise, some people will buy it, and others will just macro and be done.

Nah, gotta have some way to make me smile when a light pilot isn't paying attention to his heat scale. Managing the heat scale is a pretty key part of the skill in the game, I wouldn't want to see that skill removed.

It was a piloting check to avoid shutdown in CBT.
The piloting check in MWO would be not overheating to begin with =P
The hard shutdown that is forced in the game is the one that can't be avoided from CBT at 30 heat.
