IS XL Engines have 3 Engine Crits in their STs,
Clan XL Engines have 2 Engine Crits in their STs,
=XL Balance Concept #1(Speed)=
Make IS XL Engines Survivable on ST loss,
then institute a -10%Speed Quirk per lost Engine Crit,
-
IS XL Engine has 3 Engine Crits in its ST,
so on ST loss an IS XL would gain a -30%Speed Quirk,
-
Clan XL Engine has 2 Engine Crits in its ST,
so on ST loss an IS XL would gain a -20%Speed Quirk,
-
Losing both STs on an XL Engine still results in death,
=XL Balance Concept #2(Structure)=
Make STD and IS XL Engines more Survivable vs C-XL,
by instituting Bonus Internal Structure to STD(CT) and IS-XL(STs),
-
IS and Clan STD Engines would gain a CT Structure Quirk,
giving the STD Equipped Mech +10-20 Bonus CT Structure,
-
IS XL Engines would gain a ST Structure Quirk(both sides),
giving the IS-XL Equipped Mech +10-15 Bonus ST Structure,
-
Losing a ST on an IS-XL Engine still results in death,
Russ on Twitter saying he would consider an XL Change,

there is a Fear of STD Engines becoming useless with this,
so if this is tested in the PTS and STD do seem to lose Viability,
the Penalty %s could be Increased or Structure Bonus Increased,
