I'd have to say that is wrong. The jumping style was based on fuel in
the older versions instead of hexes. It was possible to have a 100 ton
mech jump several hexes. Now, at most, it can only jump 2 to 3 hexes.
As far as I know, no Clan-Tech type stuff has been added to the game
as of yet, although I have heard rumors that the commercial version
will add such things.
