I disagree. They look like space cars. I wish they looked more utilitarian like a mini Orca or Rorqual. Now they just look like something your grandpa drives around to visit people with.

Here's something I just thought about - why does sansha dead space loot still have armor mods when it's been half a decade since their shield switch? How am I supposed to role play a full sansha equipped titan?

No, you see, this will promote more engaging small gang fights, because if you bring more than 10 dudes to the party, you'll get DD'ed off the field.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

LOL if you think half the people we're fighting wouldn't drop titans on a 10 man gang.

It's a cone that works on the same damage calculations as a regular bomb but with the extra multiplier

(-1*P)

Where P is the target's current standings to PL.

pick a point in space and a line between that point and your titan lights up with a targeting marker to everyone - titan then neuts eveything around it for 33k for 10s (I think?), then applies a 75k dps DoT for 10 seconds to everything within 5k of that line.

You click two points in space and a beam sweeps the area dealing 75.000 damage every second for ten seconds.
