True, but GW doesn't state a lot of things.

Okay, I agree with that.

I always assumed that it was in case you wanted to knock out a plasma
reactor and use it as a bomb. Not that I would ever waste valuable vibro

I used to believe that Titans weren't destroyed when they fell down, but I
remember stumbling across something that said they did in the rules with my
gaming group, and now we play that they are destroyed. Can't remember where
it said it though.
