Moving on to the light titans. . . .

Poltergeist - changed LT and RT armor to vicenium (no armor loss, gained .8t free weight), lowered LA and RA armor by 2mm each (loss of 1AP on each arm), and increased flares and LS both to level 2. Swapped scanner and BC (IMO the scanner is more valuable in this design).

Hm, not sure why a scanner 3 is more important than the BC in a missile titan. The ML won't be calling too many shots.

IIRC you suggested, in another thread, that the Poltergeist's ML should be in the head. Wish I'd remembered that when I was fiddling with the design as this makes the most sense.

Yep, check out the 'components' thread in this subforum. In the updated updated database I just released, there were a few other equipment relocations.

Came up with a better modification for the Poltergeist. Used a Molorla L2 chasis and had to shuffle several weapons and systems to make it work.

Hi, another newb here [8D]

Any ideas on how to change the mirage? (The one with 2 x G and 1 x U for weapons.) Haven't tried the factory yet but this could be a good project to learn it I started with the Green squad and now have nearly a dozen battles under my belt. I upgraded the mech of my leader to the mirage model, in hopes she would gain experience faster. (She used to have the lackluster will-o-wisp, though it had started to become marginally useful.) This is a highly intelligent Replicant I character, so her weapon of choice are guided missiles. Possible secondary weapon would best be cannons, but I could train the other options as well...

Maybe throw out the unguided launcher and replace with better battle computer and more firepower?

The Mirage in my database looks like this and is dedicated to guided missiles.
