As you can see from the picture I lost my left side torso, the ECM was destroyed, but the arm remained functional and I could still fire that medium laser. I went on to kill a mech before being smited myself. I have no idea how this is possible. No torso, but the arm stays on! The only thing I can think of is its a goshdang christmas 'Mech miracle! Praise RNGesus!

report it as a bug. Never seen this before but I wish it would happen to my EXE next time my right torso dies.

hmmm, I thought they fixed this bug a while back. The nova was the biggest offender for me.

had it happen a couple times before. I like to think it's just hanging on by a thread

If i remember well it happens when your ST end with 1HP or less in the Structure, most of the mods there count as destroyed but the arms still operational until something grazes the ST.

Bah, we the true believers have no need for your facts and science. A wizard did it! A. Wizard.

I believe this was mentioned a long time ago as I have seen it happen many times in the several years I have played. If I remember correctly, the internal structure on the torso is at or below .5 health so while some structure is still there, it's not showing up. The equipment in there most likely was destroyed while taking damage. You could report it as a bug but I suspect it's not something that would be high up on there list of things to fix as it's sort of working correctly, at least all except the visual on your paper doll which will most likely be explained as the tech in this era was not good enough to show accurate representations of the mechs true damage:)

I spent too long typing and didn't see your response until it was too late...sorry I will go sit in a corner and think about what I have done to you.
