If you switch to - "sinlge location" or "all locations", all other locations are - disabled. Except this rule all locations may be combined as - install locations. NOTE: If you wan't to install to multiple - locations, every location is filled up to the current amount of - armor, thus, if you want to equally fill those locations choose - 1 mm rather than 10 mm because the armor management tries to fill - up one location fully before switching to fill the next one. - Depending on the kind of armor you've choosen a different amount - of armor is needed to fill up a slot in the location, but 1 [mm] - occupies 1 slot in any case. - - Note that 1 additional mm of armor doesn't mean an additional - armor point.

A damaged life support - cannot protect the JOCK fully so that he/she may get damage - if the titan is hit by weapons or falling down. A life support - also protects against neutron blaster and neutron bombardement - after a titan explosion. - - The secondary function is to heal wounded jocks. - The value under heal is the amount of damage healed every - 10 seconds if the JOCK masters his/her medical skill check. - - A life support shown in red color means that there is not - enough space for installing, a brown color means that the - weight is too heavy. - - With a left-mouseclick or the <Return>-key on the keyboard - you choose an item from this list.
