People piloting mechs topless is canon in Battletech because one of the bigger dangers to pilots is heat build up in the mech
Also pantsless.
It's entirely reasonable to pilot with just the neurohelmet and cooling vest on, not like anyone can see you.
@Nerts I'm going to be thinking about my Battletech playthrough very differently now
@takelgryph helmet, cooling vest, speedos.
Optimal pilot performance
@Nerts This is the ideal mechwarrior body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
