Since I've been playing around in the factory the last couple of days, I thought I'd go ahead and post some personal titans I've been playing around with. This would have been posted in the areana forums... but since they no longer support .zip file attachments, I've posted here instead.

Here's an assault, the Rhino. Built for shear firepower on the well-founded engineering principle of "push hard 'till it moves"[:)]

Has basic electronics support but nothing great, brute force will get the job done. It runs pretty cool, no major heat problems, but running and trying to use all 5 big guns can put a strain on the HRs. Most irritating thing I've discovered with the design in the location of the AC4s... usually want to use them for smoke or to make a called shot at a weak spot, but since they're in the legs and I like to crouch with this titan, they're not readily accessable, oh well, just not room for everything.[;)]

Here's a light, Savage, I've been playing around with for some of my jocks that are nearing the end of green rank.

It stays relitively cool. General idea is to knock an opponent down then chop them up. Poor scanner, don't plan on making called shot with this one, but the level 6 BC in a light is very nice, epecially as it offsets some of the 'to hit' penelaties on the BRG and GME. Engine is a little scimpy for recharging the BRG and running at the same time which I find myself doing with this design quite a bit, but not too major a problem.

This is a very unusual design for me as it requires 3 weapon skills, something I normally stay away from in smaller titans like a plauge. However, I've found that my squad leader or manager can adapt to this design fairly easily. These 2 squad members tend to have high Int. making them naturals for GMs and at the lowest levels all jocks tend to pick up some CC as a nessisity... by the time they've reached green-regular they are looking into putting a few points in another skill (for me it's usually energy weapons for these specific jocks). This titan seems to work well for them. The GME also has enough ammo so that you can lob a few rounds as indirect fire and hope to get a lucky hit before the 'real' fighting begins. Lord knows that with 3 combat skills required that you didn't spend any on a fourth for IF.[:D]

Another light titan, the Meteor, was trying to come up with something a little different and was looking for something with a NB to add to my database. Some of the lighter wieght catagories IMO tend to under-represent the NB and to some extent the EMP and BRG. The BRG and NB are both effective in, and especially agiasnt, smaller titans and at lower jock ranks, but when trying not to clutter up the database with a bunch of titans that are very similiar these guys tend to get left out, because there's only so much you can put onto a small titan. Anything with a BRG or an NB almost automatically looks similiar to the 1 or 2 BRG/NB titans that are already in the database. Anyway this is what I came up with (This is the 3rd NB wielding light in my database, still that only makes them available on 6-7% of my lights)

The idea behind this one is that you can take a couple of NB shots at the enemy as you close, hopefully hitting them once or twice in order to give them some negitive modifiers. Jump into CC then add some heat with the FTs to give them some more negitive mods due to heat and to slow down/ stop thier rate of fire while the FTs, PX, and a DfA or 2 finishes them off. Disorient and destroy. Heat isn't too bad as long as you lay off the NB once fisticuffs have begun. Scanner... well... it sucks, but hey can't aim a NB or DfA anyway[;)] would be nice for not accidently whacking into an engine compartment though. LS is also low, but a good BC. Playtests with green jocks have proven to be a blast and the design seems pretty effective.

Looks like it's been a weekend of playing around in the factory and playtesting[:D]

Here's a heavy, the Efreet. Not a huge amount of firepower for a heavy, but a real pain to play agianst. Mainly a design derived from playing around with differnet weapon combinations. A good amount of 'disoriention' with the NB and NMs, then a AC20 for the real damage. NMs setting woods on fire and smoke from the AC20 are good for 'preparing the battlefield'.

This assault 'design' has probably been attempted before, but I figured I give it a try. Designed with ALL the bells and whistles and ment to kill with called shots. It actually turned out much better then I'd originally thought. Runs very cool/cold, even when the shield is turned on at a high level and plenty of PUs to run the equipment and weapons. Energy-based and GMH titans are VERY easy to man-handle with this design. Biggest weakness is the armor; it only has the armor of a lighter heavy, but is ment to fill more of a support role and rely on it's gagets to compensate. Two minor annoyances, the LS is in the CT and the ML can't be fired while crouching. CC and GME-based titans make the jock of the Athena sweat.[;)] Overall, very fun to play with all the top-of-the-line gadgets and use finesse instead of overwhelming firepower.

2 Recons The Mind Sweeper and the Rogue. Just designed both to add to the number of BRG and NB wielding titans in the recon class, pretty hard to do since these 2 weapons eat up a lot of the usable wieght and I want them to be 'significantly' different from the 2 titans in the recon class that already use the BRG and NB.

The Rogue should try to knock down the opponent with the BRG from short range then go into HtH using the PXs and a occassional BRG to keep the opponent down. Thin armor for a HtH recon, but if the opponent is on the ground, it's all good.

The Mindsweeper is based on a few of my earlier designs in larger wieght classes, built to disorient and give the opponent some bad modifiers so the player can finish them off without taking too much damage in return as the opponent misses due to jock damage and high heat.

Well, both are Norse mythology...Jormunawhatever is the Midguard Serpent/World Serpent, doesn't Thor die fighting it at the time of Raggnoroc<sp> sorry for the spelling, have a hard enough time with English[:D]. Fenrir... hmmm not sure, but there's a vauge recollection of some wolf in Norse mythology, have no clue on who/what it is, who's name starts with a 'F' Fernis..Ferris... Maybe a Norse god.. there's a couple who's name starts with an "F"

Fenrir is an alternate spelling for Fenris (which Battletech uses). It's a large wolf-like monster who is the son of Loki So, I'd say that you were pretty spot-on!

- Gene

The Jormungandr is similiar to the Hephestus, swaps the TB for better electronics and a LRM rack, it probably plays pretty different thoughh.

Fenrir looks solid will difinately give it a try [:)] Sandblast off some armor then when they close, rip'em a great big gapping hole. At first glance heat may become an issue in the mid-ranges if the jock has an itchy trigger finger.

Heat is designed to handle all the missiles, but not all the missiles and the ac20 as well. I expected to be out of ammo for the lrm6 by the time the ac20 comes into play in any case.


The Jormungandr is meant as a called-shot sniper, snip off a leg and pummel away


A substory in JRR Tolkien's book Silmarillion is based on the story of Fenrir - the Norse hero Tyr manages to capture Fenrir and tie him up with a magical thread, but his hand is bitten off in the process. Fenrir remains tied up until Ragnarok when he and his brother, the giant python Jormungandr (interesting family) get to lead an army of giants and rain destruction on the universe. Everyone gets killed except for a human man and woman, who have to start everything again in a rebuilt earth.
