-------> Always, esp with titans. And none of that "tack on" weapon
stuff, either. Mine were glued on and you just learned to use them, no
changing from battle to battle.

-------> Ahh, the D-cannon. I was tempted to mount one just to be
different, then I came to my senses. One autoscatter would have been
quite enough IMO to limit their use.

----> That's why I wasn't big on anything other than chain fists. I
mounted one or two burners on Impy titans for variety, but all of those
"if you win, you can roll off and if you win again, you can do something
moderately nasty" type weapons were just a waste to me. You mean I can
give up a for sure damage roll for about a 50-50 chance of crushing one
part? Wow. Pass. If the ELdar had a chainfist option I'd have taken it,
but the fist did have some uses - the multiple close range shots and the
building crush were pretty handy.

--------> A lesson learned most quickly, like Magnus vs the Baneblades:
"He hits on a What?"
"It's a save mod of what?
