Description[edit]
The RISC Super-Cooled Myomer was a Dark Age era improvement on myomer. While it offered a benefit in that it effectively eliminates heat buildup due to movement, the complexity and overall issues with the system, including its production, maintenance and installation ended up halting its development.
The system worked by adding friction-reducing fluids to the myomer, secondary coolant lines between myomer bundles, and sheathing the key myomer bundles in extra insulation.
This myomer is not compatible with any other type of myomer or myomer enhancements.[1]
Game Rules[edit]
SCM takes up 6 critical hit spaces in a 'Mech. While it prevents heat buildup due to running or walking, it has a few issues. Any 'Mech mounting this system is automatically made Difficult to Maintain to reflect the difficulty of keeping all the piping, coolant and other features maintained.
In combat, unlike normal myomer alternatives, if SCM receives a critical hit, it is not rerolled to another location. When SCM receives a critical hit, the defender must mark off a heat sink of their choice, to reflect damage to the overall cooling system of the 'Mech.[1]
