Well.. Can't say I'm 100% certain, but I am pretty sure one day I did cause my own ammo to explode by constantly overiding the shut down while Firing off missiles thinking,"I'll be fine" then poof... Pretty sure I wasn't hit by anything to cause it to blow, could be wrong but I highly doubt it. (It was a trial mech, a Stalker I believe, during the last trial mech rotation) as for the escalating penalties like in Battletech and older Mechwarrior games most people would likely complain and whine about them even though I'd approve of this, would love to see boaters blow themselves up from firing off their LRMs too much.

True Heat Scale will be as confusing as Ghost Heat as long as it is not communicated to play in game.

Newbie will think that it is a game bug that cause their mech to slow down after firing multiple hot weapon, just like how they think firing 3 PPC has a bug that cause extra heat.

Nah it was just Overriding it will deal insane amounts of damage to your internals and fast, usually if/when I override I will die by cockpit or engine destruction by override...

We can hope for a real heat system in another decade or so, after this game has been dead long enough for the stigma to wear off, and someone with some sense gets the rights.

i don't tend to OR much, but have we ever proven or gotten confirmation that OR damage doesn't cause crits, which could have cooked off his ammo?
