Simple question that I can't find a clear answer for in the PDFs I have:
If you get a lock with a streak-type launcher, do you HAVE to fire? I am only wondering this because of heat issues. Lets say a mech that happens to be a Streak SRM or LRM or iATM boat is nearly overheated but not shutdown. A warrior might have to decide between shutting down (or blowing up) and destroying an opponent. If warrior gets locks on all of his Streak launchers and they all fire, he shuts down, but if warrior elects not to try to get locks with all of his launchers, and too few of them do lock and fire to destroy an opponent, that is also bad news.
So, is it mandatory that Streak systems fire if they get hard locks, or does the mechwarrior have the option not to fire?

Yes. The firing round is simultaneous.

I would suggest going one step backwards.
Why even bother locking onto the unit with the missiles if you are that hot?
Is it because you weren't sure if other weapons would hit, and you wanted to kill the unit? Like more then a few of us have done.
Honestly. If you are that close to shut down, I would say eject as the ammo explosion roll will probably get you.
