The Void Signature System is a hybrid evolution of Star League era systems such as the Chameleon Light Polarization Shield, and the Null Signature System. Essentially a scaled up version of the Word of Blake's Mimetic Armor, the Void Signature System shields a BattleMech's presence from both visual and electronic detection with help from a paired ECM suite.
Game Rules
A 'Mech with this system may not mount a Chameleon Light Polarization Shield, Null Signature System, or Stealth Armor. Any Satellite Uplink systems, Targeting Computers or C3 equipment cannot be mounted either.
When the system is active, a 'Mech with the system generates 10 points of heat more than it usually would. When active, the system's stealth ability depends on how much the 'Mech moved, with greater benefits with less movement. However, while the system is active, all shots fired by the unit suffer reduced accuracy.
The void signature system does not weigh a significant amount by itself. However, it does require an ECM suite to be installed to function. The system takes up one critical slot in each of the 'Mech's hit locations except for the head, for a total of seven critcal slots. A critical hit to any of these slots (including the ECM suite) will disable the entire system.
