Change engine caps of all battlemechs so that their cap ends at the closest multiple of 25, rounded up on greater than or equal to 10, otherwise rounded down.

So, stalker would get a max 325 and min 75, Phoenix hawk would get a 250 max cap, Thunderbolt would get a 325 max and 150 min cap, Grasshopper 5J would get a 375 max and 150 min and 5N would get a 350 and 150 min cap, Black knight would cap out at 375, orion IIC would cap at 375, etc etc.

Reason being: These are the points at which you get heatsink changes. While, overall a small to moderate bump in speed and maneuverability for some, you have to realize that a number of these mechs would have to lose out on tonnage to do so, and I feel that the resulting consistency in engine caps would make the game a lot less obtuse. Plus it would open up some new builds.
