[Thorgrim]

Yikes. With that kind of torso armor? Switch to T at least. Then use M in the legs
Engine is overkill. Needs refinement.

[Thorgrim]

Pretty much the same. Engine too big, armor and systems need refinement.
15 tons to spare, use a heavier chassis, that's more slots and internals, and higher armor limits. Being underweight you get -1BMT (and more jump time), but a heavier chassis will match or surpass that.
Scanner 3 is a little crappy for an assault.

[rosary]

Tweak them however you like.

[Shadow Paladin]

Although I would not class myself as a great designer or even a decent one I do sort of have to agree and disagree with Thorgrim on this one. They are not how I would design them, still I do not have to use them so who cares, but I can see the logic behind the designs... I think.

Now correct me if I am wrong Rosary but the armour layout you have used, I take it, is useful for 2 functions. The first, being the Millenia armoured Torsos, would be for greater heat loss per second especially as you need to make up for the Legs. The second, being the Dullaroy armoured Legs, would be for DFA attacks as I notice both your titans have some very serious Jumpjets. As for the Engines, I am guessing, I take it you prefer plenty of spare PU's so you can fire on the run, activate all your defences, recharge your jets, recharge your weapons and still have the odd PU spare incase of engine damage.

[Thorgrim]

Ooops.
DfA, with a machine where almost all weapons have a min range... hmm. The GC needs 1 PU to *fire*, not to recharge.

[Shadow Paladin]

I think the point for that CC titan is to do a DFA attack thus putting your opponent to the floor and/or injure the pilot so they cannot shoot for sooty (take a wild guess at the real word I mean for that one [;)]).

No I agreed with you that they were not great designs, I personally would not use them, though if you had taken a few moments to read what Rosary said at the beginning of the thread they are just designs that create nice shiny green lights. This they do well, being sooty (yes a second go for all those who did not guess it first tume) titans in the arena really does not matter

[rosary]

Let's have a contest of assaults.

You've seen samples of my designs. Why not post the 'Contestants'? Let everyone praise, ridicule, or otherwise.

How about these rules?

1 vs 1, Random jock, pick Titan, Random map, medium. best 2 out of 3. The finalists do best 3 out of 5.

We could just do A.I. vs A.I. but thats not as fun.

Feel free to tweak these rules further.

[Thorgrim]

ORIGINAL: Shadow Paladin

I think the point for that CC titan is to do a DFA attack thus putting your opponent to the floor and/or injure the pilot so they cannot shoot for sooty (take a wild guess at the real word I mean for that one [;)]).

There are 2 designs, the Underboss (SR/CC) and the Gigan-AT (LR).
The CC one is seriously underarmored in the side torsos, so chances it'll make it to CC are not so good. If the torsos find themselves without external armor, those NM ammo bins are just asking to take some crits. And NM explosions are *really* nasty (double damage, double heat). If the torsos go altogether, then your entire arsenal except the LRMs and most of your systems go with them.
It's also an A4 chassis, which is not very good for DfAs, since it has the worst handling mod of all assault chassis, and a very penalizing one (-15%, which is doubled for jump).

I was replying to the LR one, because that's where your reply branched from. The ooops part was exactly because of that, I had replied relative to the CC one.
As for chassis, the LR one has an A1, and being a support titan it could handle an A4 pretty well, which would give it more slots and more armor - it has the free weight.

So the chassis are kinda switched for the roles.

[Shadow Paladin]

I know there are 2 different titans and I even know their names funnily enough [:'(]

I also have not disagreed with you that they are likely to last for very long against a database titan, criticals or no criticals. Nor for that matter that they could possibly do with a redsign, they are Rosary's titans and if he/she likes them then that is all that matters, as Rosary said to you "Tweak them how you like".

The CC titan does have a low chance of getting into combat and it cannot DFA for sooty, still it does not mean it cannot do it with some degree of success, though if it hits or misses with the DFA the legs will not buckle underneath it.

The LR could still use the DFA as a personal defence, with its Chasis it would be able to handle jumping up and down on its opponents when it cannot fire its weapons with a great deal of accuracy. After all you go a lot slower walking backwards as you do running forwards so an opposing titan would soon catch up to you once it makes it under minimum range and your shots start to miss more often.

My reply was a general one so I chose the last thread I could see. Also the comments about the Engines were also general. I know a GC needs a PU to fire and not recharge but as a general statement the CC does need the extra engine to recharge its VCs.

Also I have to point your attention to both my last post and Rosary's first, the entire point of these designs were lots of lil green lights so why are you waffling on about the designs? I am sure Rosary is probably a very good designer and could design a much better titan than those above if he/she cared to.

[Shadow Paladin]

Sounds fun, is this purely me vs you or can we organize a lil knockout competition with some others? Would be good to fill up the battles forum [:D]

[rosary]

Well, we could try out a few initial battles. If others want to join in and see how their designs stack up, they are welcome.

[Peter Why]

I thought, when I first read Rosary's duel suggestion, that he was asking for a widespread test of his own two titan designs ... but you're after anyone testing their own assault titan design, aren't you? Tested against random AI assault using random jocks of equal skill; if own titan wins two out of three matches, it gets posted ready for challenge against other player's designs.

[rosary]

Yeah, it looks like you understand so start posting the designs of the titans you want to do battle.
