Rules Level 1

Level one technology is the tech level of the Inner Sphere before the Clan Invasion. Things are bulky, balky, heavy, and inefficient. In tech level 1, mechs tend to be family heirlooms passed from one generation to the next. They are a patchwork of old jerry-rigging, ancient battle damage and repairs. Mechwarriors are an elite caste and to lose one's mech is the most horrible of fates to them.

Level 1 technology has only one type of armor. Level 1 technology has only one type of internal structure. Level 1 technology has only one type of fusion engine. Level 1 technology has only one type of cockpit. Level 1 technology has no artillery weapons (?).
