General Details
Name:  Composite
Type (Category):  Structure (Core)
Reference:  Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (p. 154)

Description:
Composite structure uses advanced fiber-reinforced materials to provide a BattleMech framework that weighs half as much as standard internal structure, but avoids the bulk issues found in equivalent-weight endo-steel structure. Unfortunately, composite structure is markedly easier to damage.

Game Rules:
All damage to the internal structure of a ’Mech using Composite Structure is doubled. Excess damage that transfers to a location still protected by armor must apply in accordance with the rules of the specific armor type, based on the weapon’s normal remaining damage.
