        I don't actually own any titans myself (except an LoB, which I consider
too slow for CC), but wouldn't it be more fair to give an extra, I don't
know, +50% or something? I mean, unless you are going up against 'Nids all
the time it's a pretty useless thing to have, even with the short range FP
that comes with a CC weapon. This would lead to "I'm fighting 'Nids, better
change my load out." which is either cool or uncool, fluff wise, depending
on your outlook of available supplies, etc. (See, told you I was the master
of the run-on sentence.)
