Two GM/Energy mediums

[Coyote27]

First, a long range (despite what the pinboard insists) design. Which bids me ask, how relevant are pinboard ratings anyway? They seem to give me bad firepower ratings no matter what.

This second design is sort of a personal favorite, my squad leader pilots it now.

Nevermore: it is a short range titan because your firepower will be maxed at SR (all weapons except the SL can fire at SR; GME is SR and therefore does not count for either MR or LR; GMHs and PG have min ranges, so don't count towards CR). Firepower rating is weakened by the small engine, since pinboard does not differentiate support from other roles (it counts max power required while running).

Swashbuckler: engine 4 with a shield 3, ECM and one big energy weapon?! Bad rating I'm sure.

[Thorgrim]

Nevermore:
Remove 1mm armor in the legs and CT and you can improve armor elsewhere (including CT).
You might want to add jump ports, most of your arsenal has min range (isn't jump backward a support's best friend? )

[Sleeping_Dragon]

On the Swashbuckler, you have the same armor thing going on that Iceman pointed out on the Nevermore. Swap the armor in the LoT from Dur to Vic.. will free up a bit of wieght, Then use Mil on the arms instead of Ti. On a more personal note I don't like the LS in the CT. I prefer to keep it in the head or maybe the CBT, but I think that is the only place it will fit with the current electronic configurations.
