I was in a group, I had a Raven-4X fitted with a LRM-10 and then i up gunned it to a LRM-20 and added 1 ton of ammo while removing heatsinks till i only had 2 (one in each leg) and it allowed me to save the design with no prompts, but i couldnt get into matches anymore. It boots up the match client but it crashes back to launcher without any kind of prompt. Then I added one HS more and it worked no problems. also it doenst allow you to launch while going solo if there isnt enough HS's while with group it allows you to get ready and allows the leader to send the group to battle. after this it crashes. so yeah. i had the standard engine of 175 rating fitted.

Every engine requires at least 10 heatsinks. A certain number of heatsinks are permanently built into the engine; this number varies based on engine size (one for every 25 points of engine rating).

Smaller engines do not have enough room inside them for all the heatsinks they require, so you must place some elsewhere on the 'Mech. The weight required for these extra heatsinks is already deducted from the actual weight of the engine, so they effectively only take up crit space.

Larger engines have room for more than the minimum 10 heatsinks inside them, allowing you to put additional heatsinks inside the engine. These do not take up additional crit space outside the engine (and Double Heat Sinks only take up one slot inside the engine), but they do take up weight.

Had this crash bug also, but with a Commando, needed one more heatsink due to a different crash not saving the proper configuration. Couldn't Launch on my own, but in a group was allowed to click "Ready" and when the leader launched game I'd immediately crash out. happened several times before I figured out what the issue was.
