Aren't the engines a little short for al-energy titans? The EMPs don't produce that much heat, so these titans probably could handle a high firing rate if the engine allowed it. Just an observation.

*drool* so what're the stats on the EMP?

I'm only guessing they're not too different from those the factory help hints at.

Hey Eric, I noticed you're not using Flares much. Any specific reason? Are these titans tailor made for a GM-less scenario or something?

I noticed there's an 'S' after the armor type in the new factory's pinboard printout. What's that for? Marga?

The (S) is a general armor% indicator. Here is another example from the new factory that shows another indicator:

S = thin armor
Max = Maximum

This titan does have heat issues in the Vulcano campaign but unfortunately you'll be seeing this enemy on the Iceworld.

Current EMP stats are:

Tons: 3
Slot: 1
Range: 01/11
Damage: 0
Heat: 15
Mod: -5%
Ammo: 0
Rec: 25
Cost: 13000

Special: May cause electronics to malfunction or work with less effectiveness or may cause light damage.

The stats may change.

The answer is:
--------------

There are new infos in the armor info window of the factory showing the reason for not being able to put in more armor at the appropriate location:

New keywords
------------
MAX => the maximum thickness of armor is reached for this location, you are not allowed to install an additional single mm

(S) => there is no more space available at this location to install more armor, because all slots are already used and the next mm of armor would require a new slot

(W) => the maximum weight allowed for the current chassis is reached, the next mm of armor would increase the weight beyond the maximum weight allowed

I know, its a lot of information in a single row of armor indications, but I found it easier to realize why special locations do not take any more armor...

opinions would be appreciated

Well, I've been using it for over a month now and Love (yes, I would marry it) the new factory. It is a pleasure to use. It has a great new look that won't totally surprise old designers but they will be pleasantly surprised with it. Its amazing how much better 32 bit graphics look than 256 colors.
