Not necessarily, but I can live with a 1+ frontal save.

Well, in my sleep-deprived state, I just came up with option 3:

Let the Holofields give their save against barrages, but unlike direct-fire
weapons, this save is subject to the barrage's save modifier. This way,
the Titan gets SOME protection from barrages, but doesn't become too immune
to them. Simple, uses the mechanic that is already in use and should be
fairly effective. How's that sound?

Oh, and onto the comments that Hellreich has made, I didn't think we had
given the Volcano Cannon a template, just the Quake Cannon. But in any
event, there are definately some weapons that have templates but should
still suffer the full effects of the holofields (such as the Quake Cannon).
 We should list them.
