Well i had a thought,
Have u come up with any good titan configs if so post them here and let the world see your work.
include all the info needed to make the titan
They can be of any weight class

There are lots of custom homemade titans. If we posted them all then we'd fill half the forum. Maybe we should dedicate a certain section to it? Anyway, a good way to look at other people's titans is to get their *.tos files and merge them. Look and ask on ICQ.

Hi Guys

If you want to put a few Titans together and give me some screenshots I add them to the web site for you as well.

The factory does dump a text printout of your titan into the data folder under the weight class if you enter the pinboard.

You can post this easily.

Here's a sample light titan.

Screenshots are pretty useless at this point in time, since there is really no different views of the Titans available. If you were going to receive images they'd more than likely be homegrown ideas of what the Titan looked like.

The Titan Factory in "Titans Of Steel - Warring Suns" will also feature the Designers Name in the pinboard itself and in the text printouts.

that is incorrect. Every titan has a 3D model which corresponds with the same animation in battle. pick a Locust get a locust. There are over 20 3D models for the game. But we are limiting the # to 20 or 4 styles per class size.

Perhaps marga could explain whether graphics could be included into the text output from the pinboard.

Oh yeah, one more thing about posting titan printouts, on this forum I think you'll need to disable smilies for that one post, otherwise you'll get those little buggers stuck in your heat reg (depending on the heat reg of course).

Personally, I think <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> elinit looks a lot better than the original.

Keeping with what Michael said, I'm not turning off smilies, though it shouldn't matter in this one. Pure damage here folks, fun stuff. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Ah dang, just realized cuz of HTML it didn't show the name on my assault. It's called the "Masseuse" =)

Alexi:

I'd personally keep the BRG (nice for knockdowns), drop the scan to 3 (you don't really need more than a yellow, and by the time you're in CC range you definitely won't have time to scan in between attacks), up the ECM to 5 (prevent more scans against you), up the life to 5 (prevent NBs and heal more quickly), and up the heat reg to 6 (extra heat dissapation is always nice). Those weight changes should equal each other out.

The armor seems a little thin for a medium close combat, it's not much more armored than a heavy armored light, so I'd drop the shield to 1, drop the engine to 5 and use the extra tonnage to slap on more armor.

However, I'm sure there will be 50 differing opinions from mine.

Right now it looks like an alternate Fist design <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> but that just shows how great minds think alike, or something.

Here's another light titan that I would even consider duel capable even though uses mesons. This guy can seriously mess somone else up. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

That dependence on ammo suggests that the indigestion, needs some antacid ASAP. Sure you've got 18 shots per Heavy Meson, and 13 for the Light Meson, but as you would know though shots go awfully quickly. Leaving you with CC as your only option. I'd personally ditch the LM for an energy weapon, and up the armor a little, and possibly lower the Heat Reg by one. Of course that's just me, and everyone knows I hate missiles and cannon for the most part.

I'd have to agree, in that particular case. Because of the relatively low damage by mesons, you might find yourself running out, unless you get lucky with the criticals. Putting a ML or something would give you a backup weapon, at least.

i came up with a design yesterday while playing a (very horrible) soccer game in the rain... it's a light with a flamer in the CBT, and 2 AC4s or MGs, and teh name is Toxic Fart. baisicly you can run away and still fart on them. =-)
