Special Unit Abilities
The special unit abilities described here are intended for use with the Alpha Strike rule system:
RISC Emergency Coolant System (ECS)
The RISC emergency coolant system is a more powerful variation on the radical heat sink system (RHS special), but its effects in the event of a system failure can be much more dire. Like the RHS special, this system is activated in the End Phase of the turn, but will only do so if the unit has reached a Heat Scale of 4 (Shutdown). Also like the RHS, the system requires a 1D6 check to determine if it suffers a failure when attempting to flush coolant through its unit.
If the 1D6 roll result is 2 or higher, the ECS reduces the unit’s Heat Scale by 2 points. If the result of the 1D6 roll is 1, the ECS special must be marked off and, just like the RHS, it will fail to reduce the unit’s heat level. In addition to this, the ECS’s failure will also inflict one Engine Hit critical on the unit itself. The ECS remains inoperable for the remainder of the scenario once it is marked off.
