There's an exchange folder, from which you can import/export files. Just place it there and use the import function to incorporate the Titan into your database.<br/>

That reminds me (I, too, had registered the Amiga version):

What became of our Ralph Eugene Reed? Is he still around somewhere? Does he know about TOS?

The infamous golfball design? Nah, I always found 2d10 to be much more practical.<br/>

Besides that, there's an old ammo box full of dice for every RPG known to man over here (and several that are pretty much ...

<t>A "skill check" is an event where a random number is compared to your appropriate skill; for example, if you try to shoot something. If the number is lower or equal than your skill, you suceed, if it's higher, you fail. As simple as that.<br/>

No idea where that quote might have been from; I'm not that much of a Dune fan to have read all of the books (frankly, I worked my way through the first book for a Fading Suns campaign and quickly ...

<t>I think it's fine as it is; the flamer has already enough drawbacks in form of verly little (and highly volatile!) ammo per slot and extremely short range. Toning down the heating effect would kill it, IMHO.<br/>

This whole "flamer boat" equation misses the fact that after approximately one ...

It's the Bene Gesserit Litany against Fear, taken from Frank Herbert's book "Dune".

I was able to weaken him enough to take him out in close combat, but I was impressed by the sheer badassness of it's weapons up close. I went from "barely scratched" to "battered and ...

Yes, there is; check final pages of the manual, it's listed under the skills by which attributes they are governed.

<r>Okay, here we go...<br/>
<br/>
First, there's the Voulge; the machine is pretty straightforward, just hose him until you can use those pretty saws. The Voulge has a DCS and a shield, as well as the heat regulator and power supply to use it almost continuously, so closing in should not be much of ...

<t>You don't *NEED* one. But it speeds up the process rather nicely if you do happen to have one.<br/>
<br/>
Besides, all ranged weapons are at -25 to hit without one, and you need about 25 seconds to get a lock. I can't see that a few saved tons are really worth that hassle, even in a pure CC ...

<r>I managed to crash the game last night; after fleeing from a battle, I clicked the deserted titan to check the stats (the game was a network game, duel). The game quit with an error message and sent me back to the desktop.<br/>

I think that penalty applies on leg mounted weapons that are fired while running/walking. You see, a gun nailed to your leg will have a hard time hitting anything when you're running...

Of course, I could be completely off...

<t>Sometimes after falling down, the enemy titan is no longer "visible". Check if the Titan has a black box with a white X in it. In this case, your sensors can detect him, but you have no line of sight. Also, your missiles would have to be fired indirectly, which results in a flat 2% chance with an ...

<t>Oddly enough, there's 1,6 Tons left that could have been used on better armor. As well as an abnormally thick CBT armor that should better be placed elsewhere.<br/>

If you decide to lower the heat regulator, drop the shield as well. Mediums rarely have enough surplus power and heat ...

<t>A word of warning on the plasma cannons: They produce heat when damaged, up to about 2c per second once destroyed (and yes, ripping the location with the plasma gun out has the same results. Will be fixed soon, though.) That's a bit more than your average Light/Recon heat regulator can handle ...

They do light damage on cockpit hits with androids, as opposed to the minor damage they do on the other races.

I'd say you were lucky.

<t>While playing against Rejor last night we came across a minor bug. Both of us set our move/attack commands to wait on new enemy (without seeing each other, that is). The game then went into a loop, counting time, but not responding to the waking call with F3 on both sides. <br/>
<br/>
The game ...

<t>I managed to kill the thing last night; not a glorious fight, I might add. The main problem wasn't so much the insufficient(?) heat reg, it's the nature of the plascannons and the unfixed bug that destroyed locations with plascannons produce lots of heat...<br/>

Dang, I never noticed that function before...sweet! Such an useful thing to set...
