The light titan, Penetrator, is one of my favorites. Built with twin large lasers designed to alternate fire (fire 1st one wait 4-6secs then fire the other, then wait on recycle next weapon). I originally designed it somewhere around ToS 1.03. With the changes in the game since then (mainly armor modifiers) I redesigned this one. Everything is basically the same on the outside, but by moving around armor types I was able to reduced the heat regs by 2 catagories and still improve cooling by .03 C/sec. With the extra tonnage I freed up I added a lvl 1 shield. This is a good example of how important the 'right' armor at the right location can be when designing a titan.

The new improved Penetrator, I'd suggest just overwriting the one already in the database.

Hi Sleeping Dragon!
Excellent job in your upgraded version of Penetrator, which is also one of my favourite designs for Light titans. I used it a lot in previous 1.4 version and my green team just bought one that proved excellent in battles!

I'm amazed by the improvements you got by using a different armor combination! I wish you would have a look on my Iron Lion medium design i just posted and see if you can get the same result! Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks Black Flag,
If you get a chance to use the new Penetrator let me know how the shield works out, not sure how much it will slow down the fire rate due to heat when it's turn on.

Glad to take a look at your design, take a peek in the other tread It's funny, I have as much fun designing these things as blowing them up... it's like two games in one!
