Keep in mind that if you are using an engine smaller than 250, you lose an engine heatsink for every 25 below that rating. A 250 has 10 HS by default in it. So if you only have 6(!) you must be running what...a 150-170? Yikes, that's a slow light mech. The Commando (metal babby) has a max engine size of 210, so even with a 200/205/210 you would need to add 2 extra HS to make it battle ready.

Except the 2 heat skills don't do anything ATM. Hopefully that is patched next week.
